SIAM-SEAS 2023

The 45th SIAM-SEAS (SIAM Southeastern Atlantic Section Annual Meeting) will be hosted by Virginia Tech. I will speak in the mini-symposium “Non-linear stochastic data assimilation - theory and applications”. The session info can be found below.

Description of session: Reconstruction of the probability density functions underlying stochastic observational data is a commonly encountered problem in fields ranging from biology to material science and image processing. Identification of non-linear dependence upon model parameters is a particular concern, investigated in this mini-symposium through techniques from optimal transport, differential geometry, information theory and topology. A common thread for all these approaches is identification of a submanifold that forms a minimal support for the data. Talks include both theoretical approaches as well as case studies using real-world data.
