Planet Nine from Outer Space: A Status Update
/ Batygin, Konstantin (speaker) (California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, US)
b'Over the course of the past two decades, observational surveys have unveiled the intricate orbital structure of the Kuiper Belt, a field of icy bodies orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune. In addition to a host of readily-predictable orbital behavior, the emerging census of trans-Neptunian objects appears to display dynamical phenomena that cannot be explained by interactions with the known eight-planet Solar System alone [...]

REMOTE - Distributed computing - A historical perspective - The Network(s)
/ Segal, Ben (speaker)
NB!! Internet father Vint Cerf and Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee will honour us with their presence!
This lecture:
How trying to solve a straightforward problem - sharing computer data at CERN in the 1980’s - involved us unexpectedly with economic, political and social issues. A study of disruption at CERN and beyond.
This series:
After the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) began in 1969, leading to the TCP/IP protocol development in the USA, a period of intense network competition began between continents and companies. [...]

Quantum detectors for (low and high energy) particle physics
/ Doser, Michael (speaker) (CERN)
After a short introduction into the involvement of different existing families of detectors relying on quantum effects and relevant to the field of (mostly low energy) particle physics, a small number of possible ideas for applications in the context of high energy particle physics (calorimetry, particle ID, tracking) will be presented and discussed. A particular emphasis will be placed on the R&D required to transform these more speculative ideas into proof-of-principle prototype devices..

Beyond Pick and Place - Tackling Robotic Stacking of Diverse Shapes
/ Devin, Coline (speaker) (DeepMind)
Applying deep learning to robotics is difficult for many reasons; challenges include collecting data at scale, reproducing experiments, and training models that are robust to varying environments. In this talk, I will discuss our new object stacking benchmark task. [...]

The Principles of Deep Learning Theory
/ Roberts, Dan (speaker) (MIT & Salesforce)
Deep learning is an exciting approach to modern artificial intelligence based on artificial neural networks. The goal of this talk is to provide a blueprint — using tools from physics — for theoretically analyzing deep neural networks of practical relevance. [...]

Gravitational waves and multi-messenger astrophysics
/ Branchesi, Marica (speaker) (Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy)
Abstract: A new exploration of the Universe has recently started through gravitational-wave observations. On August 17, 2017, the first observation of gravitational waves from the inspiral and merger of a binary neutron-star system by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo network, followed 1.7 s later by a weak short gamma-ray burst detected by the Fermi and INTEGRAL satellites initiated the most extensive world-wide observing campaign which led to the detection of multi-wavelength electromagnetic counterparts [...]

Virasoro Entanglement Berry Phases
/ Zukowski, Claire (speaker) (UvA)
I will describe the parallel transport of modular Hamiltonians encoding entanglement properties of a state. The Berry curvature associated to state-changing parallel transport is the Kirillov-Kostant symplectic form on an associated coadjoint orbit, one which differs appreciably from known Virasoro orbits. [...]

A General Introduction to Machine Learning (whenever possible with a twist towards accelerators)
/ Adelmann, Andreas (speaker) (PSI)
Abstract:
This module will give an overview of Machine Learning (ML) and its methodologies and examples of applications. As an hors d'oeuvre, we will make a transition from statistics to machine learning using regression models. Then we will discover the beauty and power of deep neural networks - one of the most flexible approaches to supervised learning. Unsupervised Learning will free us from labeled data, as an application we look at clustering. The last method we will discover is reinforcement learning. [...]

Systematic studies of parton-quark gluon plasma interactions with ATLAS
/ Hu, Qipeng (speaker) (Lawrence Livermore Nat. Laboratory (US))
Jet quenching, in which partons lose energy through interactions with a colour-charged medium, is one of the major signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The seminar presents recent jet quenching measurements based on Run-2 data collected with the ATLAS detector. [...]

LIVE Q&A - "Business Engagement" - Simone Campana
/ Campana, Simone (speaker) (CERN)
Business Engagement has the mandate to strengthen the collaboration between the IT department and its stakeholders (the business). The goal is to establish a more user-centric model to service design, innovation and optimisation.
A successful Business Engagement process should lead to a more streamlined IT environment, with a reduced duplication of effort thanks to a better understanding of the user needs and their common requirements [...]
