Joburg School in Theoretical Physics 2019
Aspects of Machine Learning
11-15 November 2019
The Mandelstam Institute for Theoretical Physics holds theory physics workshops and schools several times a year. The goal of the 3rd Joburg School in Theoretical Physics is two-fold. Firstly, we wish to expose our local community to exciting recent developments in the understandings of deep connection between quantum field theoretic methods and machine learning. Secondly, we aim to stimulate discussion and interaction which might lead to new research directions and collaborations.
