Math, Mind, and the Universe: A Multidisciplinary Exploration

Yuri will take the audience on a journey into the world of neutrinos - tiny and elusive particles that European scientists are trying to catch with a huge telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The talk will explain why scientists are so fascinated with neutrinos and the challenges they face in catching them, even with water (or beer?) as the medium. In the second part of the talk, Yuri will discuss cosmic super-colliders that can accelerate massive protons and give birth to neutrinos.

Ivan has an exciting topic to share with you: computer vision! In his talk, he'll break down why computer vision is so challenging and how it was tackled in the past.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world as we know it, and Oscar is here to explain why. In his talk, he'll break down what AI is and why it's so crucial for our future. He'll also give some exciting examples of how AI is making a difference in areas like computer vision, prediction, and object detection. So if you're curious about how this cutting-edge technology is transforming our world, don't miss Oscar's talk!

Bjorge has a fascinating question: can we capture the essence of a person in equations? In his talk, he'll explore how reducing things to numbers is useful when talking about the bricks of a skyscraper, but what about things that can't be expressed in numbers? Too often, they are ignored or forced into a number, losing their emotional weight in the process. Bjorge will touch on some odd but not incorrect statements that you may have heard throughout your life that reduce complex emotional experiences into quantitative numbers.
