Bernoulli workshop “Particles, Flows & Maps for Sampling Complex Distributions”

This workshop aims to foster interdisciplinary communication among researchers working on modeling, analysis, and numerical methods in particle systems, gradient flows, and random maps, to target the problem of sampling complex distributions. The talks will cover a wide range of theoretical and practical techniques, including applications in Bayesian inference, kinetic models, Optimal Transport, and optimization over distributions. By highlighting both stochastic and deterministic approaches, the workshop aims to identify common threads and promote collaboration among researchers tackling the sampling and associated problems from different perspectives of scientific computing, kinetic theory, optimization, and control.

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL
