Episode #116 - AI is Un-bending Space-Time w/ Dr. Yashar Hezaveh

Today I speak with Jose Arnal, a senior PhD student at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies. His research focusses on space weather and data assimilation techniques to better predict the flow properties of the solar wind. We talk about the recent CMEs (which caused the Northern Lights), solar activity, and common techniques to model these events. Enjoy! For further questions, feel free to email Jose at:  ⁠jose.arnal AT mail.utoronto.ca⁠ Connect with Jose on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jose-arnal-33418b113/⁠ Read Jose's recent paper on data assimilation for MHD: ⁠https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045793024002056⁠ - Socials - Instagram: @math.physics.podcast Email: [email protected] Discord: https://discord.gg/M6TMgFA4xb Twitter: @MathPhysPod

Today I talk with Dr. Laurence Perrault-Levasseur about cosmology and a bit of machine learning. Enjoy the conversation!

Today I talk with Dr. Yoshua Bengio. I decided to adopt a more minimalist approach to the podcast. Enjoy the conversation!

Today I speak with Alex, a PhD student in my research group at the University of Montreal, about his research. Enjoy the episode! Discord: https://discord.gg/M6TMgFA4xb Instagram: @math.physics.podcast Email: [email protected] Twitter: @MathPhysPod

Today's guest is Max Sklar, an expert in computer science and information systems, as well as the host of The Local Maximum podcast (https://www.localmaxradio.com/). We highly recommend checking out his show!

*** In the intro I say graph flow networks instead of generative flow networks by accident *** Today's guest is Dr. Emmanuel Bengio. Enjoy this conversation about his research, including the topic of generative flow networks (GFlowNets).
