Project DeepSPIN is organising the Workshop on Interactions Between Nonextensive Entropies, Machine Learning, Language, and Physics on July 5, 2022, which will be held on IST's Amphitheaterre Abreu Faro, in the Interdisciplinary Complex.
Nonextensive statistical mechanics [1] is a generalization of the standard Boltzmann-Gibbs theories of statistical mechanics, inspired by the seminal work of Constantino Tsallis. This generalized theory has had a very strong impact in many disciplines and a wide range of applications, including statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, information geometry, statistics, machine learning, and natural language processing.
In this interdisciplinary workshop, will be present Constantino Tsallis, as well as speakers from several disciplines, ranging from mathematics and physics to machine learning and language, who will discuss their use of nonextensive entropies and Tsallis statistics on various applications, namely, Mário Figueiredo, Ben Peters, André Martins, José Mourão, and Frederico Fiuza.
