CMS: Control and Machine Learning by E. Zuazua

On Thursday October 31, 2024 Prof. Enrique Zuazua will talk on “Control and Machine Learning” at the Research Workshop on Control and Optimization organized (online) by the CMS – Center for Mathematical Sciences in Haifa, Tel Aviv on October 29 – 31, 2024.

The topics covered in this workshop include many important areas of control and optimization including numerical optimization, stochastic optimization, optimal control with PDE, and variational analysis.

Abstract. Systems control, or cybernetics—a term first coined by Ampère and later popularized by Norbert Wiener—refers to the science of control and communication in animals and machines. The pursuit of this field dates back to antiquity, driven by the desire to create machines that autonomously perform human tasks, thereby enhancing freedom and efficiency. The objectives of control systems closely parallel those of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI), illustrating both the profound unity within Mathematics and its extraordinary capacity to describe natural phenomena and drive technological innovation.

In this lecture, we will explore the connections between these mathematical disciplines and their broader implications. We will also discuss our recent work addressing two fundamental questions: Why does Machine Learning perform so effectively? And how can data-driven insights be integrated into the classical applied mathematics framework, particularly in the context of Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and numerical methods?
