From Dynamical Systems, Information and Complexity to Cutting-Edge Physically Cognitive Artificial Intelligence

Analysing and modelling complex systems often reach technical and theoretical limits under state-of-the-art statistical and computational methods. Their underlying assumptions often encompass structural-functional symmetries and recurrence. However, until very recently the dynamics and predictability of far-from-equilibrium non-ergodic entanglement and coevolution remained elusive.

Our recent advances, ranging from theoretical physics to information theory and cognition, have overcome these issues. This program disseminates our novel theories and applications to empower cutting-edge analysis, modelling and decision support pertaining complex real-world problems.

A set of cutting-edge methodologies is laid out for rigorous analysis and modelling complex dynamic systems, associated predictability and uncertainty, along with the underlying theoretical background and enabling technologies. These enable the robust retrieval and investigation of fundamental dynamic mechanisms and interactions, extending predictability limits and empowering new choices for improving decision support pathways.

The program will guide participants along an excursion through nonlinear frontiers in complex system science, ranging from fundamental physics to artificial intelligence and new cutting-edge developments. We further invite participants to bring their own data, problems and application questions to explore hands-on implementation of the concepts and tools to their fields of interest.
