PGMODAYS 2024: Control and Machine Learning

On Wed. November 20, 2024 Prof. Enrique Zuazua will give a plenary lecture on “Control and Machine Learning” at the PGMODAYS 2024 at the FMJH – Fondation Mathématique Jacques Hadamard organized on November 19 – 20, 2024 at University of Paris-Saclay in France.

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?
