3rd Workshop onGradient Flows for Sampling, Inference, and Learning

Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus

Gradient flows across probability, statistics and learning.

Gradient flows give us a language for following distributions as they change. They connect the geometry of probability with practical questions in sampling, inference, optimisation and generative modelling.

The third workshop brings together researchers in statistics, machine learning and applied mathematics to examine both foundational questions and computational methods.

Previous editions.

Two editions have already brought together the community around continuous dynamics, probabilistic inference and machine learning.
