• DYNASTY — Dynamics-Aware Theory of Deep Learning

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  The recent advances in deep learning (DL) have transformed many scientific domains and have had major impacts on industry and society. Despite their success, DL methods do not obey most of the wisdoms of statistical learning theory, and the vast majority of the current DL techniques mainly stand as poorly understood black-box algorithms. Even though…

• QFT.zip — Compressing many-body quantum states in continuous space-time with tensor networks

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  Many-body quantum systems with strong correlations are particularly difficult to understand in the continuum, where non-perturbative techniques are in scarce supply. Direct diagonalization methods are not available, since the Hilbert space is simply too large to be manageable. This inhibits progress in high energy physics, nuclear physics, and in the study of exotic topological phases…

• 10000 DIGITS — Foundations of transcendental methods in computational nonlinear algebra

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Polynomial equations and inequalities raises fundamental theoretical issues, many of which have been answered by algebraic geometry. As of applications, nonlinearity is also a formidable computational challenge. Based on recent proof-of-concept works, I propose new foundational methods in computational nonlinear algebra, motivated by the need for reliability and applicability. The joint development of theoretical aspects,…

• MOMENTOUS — Measuring and Mitigating Risks of AI-driven Information Targeting

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  We are witnessing a massive shift in the way people consume information. In the past, people had an active role in selecting the news they read. More recently, the information started to appear on people's social media feeds as a byproduct of one's social relations. At present, we see a new shift brought by the…

• ReSCALE — Reinventing Symmetric Cryptography for Arithmetization over Large fiElds

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Symmetric cryptography is finding new uses because of the emergence of novel and more complex (e.g. distributed) computing environments. These are based on sophisticated zero-knowledge and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) protocols, and they aim to provide strong security guarantees of types that were unthinkable before. In particular, they make it theoretically possible to prove that a…
