We are a group of mathematicians and physicists @UWA tinkering with the theory and application of complex systems.

Really looking forward to finishing up the year with this event at @UWAresearch @uwanews UWA Data Institute. I’ve been thinking a bit about how complex systems, mathematics and #ai all connect. We know that it is all about #networks and #regression, but so what? @ComplexSystemsG

@monsoon0 Once you’ve finished optimising and fitting things there is a lot of connections to statistical mechanics and related fields - which is, of course, a complex system and applied mathematics.

Is this mathematics or physics? I always thought machine learning was optimisation theory…
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in physics used tools from physics to construct methods that helped lay the foundation for today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield created a structure that can store and reconstruct information. Geoffrey Hinton invented a method that can independently discover properties in data and which has become important for the large artificial neural networks now in use. Although computers cannot think, machines can now mimic functions such as memory and learning. This year’s physics laureates have helped make this possible. Using fundamental concepts and methods from physics, they have developed technologies that use structures in networks to process information.

@swmccue And don’t get me started on student perception of teaching, especially when not controlling for learning, and comparing between distinct cohorts.

@swmccue These rankings that we invented as an arbitrary combination of metrics of dubious relevance don’t work …. let’s make up some new ones, that’ll fix it.

Rethinking university rankings in Australia may be worthwhile, but these new rankings are also dubious -- eg, high weighting on student experience surveys with low response rates (<50%) that don't even measure teaching excellence in the first place afr.com/work-and-caree…

I’ll be speaking at the Perth Machine Learning group next week about “the shape of learning” (hint - it’s all about reservoir computing and persistent homology) meetup.com/perth-machine-…

@nomad_penguin Of course the problem has now (in WA at least) become one of equity as access to higher mathematics at high school is limited (because so few take it) - unless you happen to be in the right postcode, or paying for your kids to wear blazers, ties and boaters to school.

@nomad_penguin I really taking aim at the minimisation of pre-requisites for university entrance - engineering and physical science degrees that don’t “require” higher level maths at high school but then impose *additional* bridging units.

@EduardoGAltmann I missed the “pre” and just saw “new print” and thought: cool it is rather pretty (just loose the axes and it could hang in a gallery somewhere).

Great morning session of invited talks at #iciam2023 - first, persistent homology with Yasuaki Hiraoka and, second, a fantastic talk by Gary Froyland of @UNSW on unravelling complex dynamics with the eigenspectrum of linear operators @ComplexSystemsG
