For large covariate dimensions, one naturally wants to introduce machine learning based methods. Input convex neural networks (ICNNs) were designed as a network architecture to learn convex functions. In this talk, we introduce Hyper Input Convex Neural Networks (HyCNNs). HyCNNs combine the principles of Maxout networks with ICNNs to create a neural network that is always convex in the input, theoretically capable of leveraging depth, and performs reliable when trained at scale compared to ICNNs.<br>\r\nConcretely, we prove that HyCNNs require exponentially fewer parameters than ICNNs to approximate quadratic functions up to a given precision. Throughout a series of synthetic experiments, we demonstrate that HyCNNs outperform existing ICNNs and MLPs in terms of predictive performance for convex regression and interpolation tasks. We further apply HyCNNs to learn high-dimensional optimal transport maps for synthetic examples and for single-cell RNA sequencing data, where they oftentimes outperform ICNN-based neural optimal transport methods and other baselines across a wide range of settings.<br>\r\nFor more details, see arxiv.org/pdf/2604.26942.

In three dimensions, a magnetic field alone generally produces dispersive Landau bands rather than a bulk-gapped Hall insulator, while familiar constructions often begin with stacked quantum Hall layers. I will present a different route in a periodic pyrochlore crystal, where a [111] magnetic field selects a three-in/one-out texture of localized moments. Through Kondo exchange, this texture effectively produces a noncoplanar four-sublattice exchange field for itinerant electrons, generating complex hopping amplitudes that mix the compact localized states into weakly dispersive bands. Remarkably, the magnetic texture alone can stabilize a globally gapped phase throughout the three-dimensional Brillouin zone. The resulting phase is a three-dimensional quantum Hall insulator with a quantized Hall response characterized by a reciprocal-space Hall vector. I will discuss its microscopic origin, bulk transport signatures, and the properties of its chiral metallic surface states.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-11-05T15:34:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-05T15:34:28", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "PH L1 503", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==PH%20L1%20503", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/62037974673?pwd=wyXGR0mO9a7X2bmU69iYk1VnLWvnet.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Dr. Zexun Lin </strong>\r\n\r\nUniversity of Cambridge, UK", "organizer": "Yuxuan Zhang, Dmitry Abanin", "contact": "Yazyev Oleg <<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a> >\r\n\r\nZivkovic Ivica <<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">[email protected]</a> >", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122620/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/137/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/191/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72623, "title": "QSE Center Winter Apéro", "slug": "qse-center-winter-apero", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/qse-center-winter-apero", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33868/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33868/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33868/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-12-01", "end_date": "2026-12-01", "start_time": "15:45:00", "end_time": "19:30:00", "description": "<p>Come celebrate the end of the year with the <strong>Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE Center)</strong> at our <strong>Winter Apéro, December 1st, </strong>at the Starling Hotel!<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis event is an opportunity to discover the quantum research happening at EPFL, connect with one another, and celebrate the community that makes it all possible.

Yet, while electrocatalytic activity is commonly discussed in terms of adsorbed intermediates, considerably less is known about how an interfacial water molecule itself is brought into a sufficiently reactive electronic state before O–H bond cleavage and charge transfer. At electrified interfaces, this process may be strongly influenced by the instantaneous structure, electrostatic environment, and collective organization of the surrounding solvent.<br>\r\nIn previous work, I proposed a mechanism in which collective alignment of water dipoles can shift water electronic levels sufficiently to enable reduction or oxidation of interfacial water, leading respectively to radical-anion- or radical-cation-like states. This mechanism was demonstrated for an idealized, ordered ferroelectric water layer. Here, I investigate whether the same physical picture survives in a realistic, thermally fluctuating electrochemical interface.<br>\r\nUsing ab initio molecular dynamics and electronic-structure descriptors, I study Pt(111)/water interfaces under different interfacial charging conditions and in the presence of different electrolyte ions. I follow the energetic position of the water reduction and oxidation levels relative to the metal Fermi level and relate their fluctuations to the local solvent environment, including water orientation, dipolar correlations, and the interfacial local electrostatic potential.<br>\r\nMore broadly, this work points toward a different way of looking at electrochemical interfaces. Rather than describing the interface solely through average quantities such as mean water orientation, average potential profiles, or static interfacial structures, I focus on the transient local configurations that continuously emerge from thermal fluctuations. Rare and short-lived solvent arrangements may create highly specific electronic environments that are largely invisible in ensemble averages, yet disproportionately important for reactivity. This perspective suggests that understanding electrochemical interfaces may require identifying not only their average state, but also the fleeting local states through which chemistry actually becomes possible.</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-11-02T13:28:34", "last_modification_date": "2026-11-03T15:22:12", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B1 524", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MA%20B1%20524", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Arthur Hagopian", "organizer": "Noé Blassel", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/122495/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/191/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/246/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/314/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/414/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 73081, "title": "Building with lipids: engineering tailor-made nanostructures for drug delivery", "slug": "building-with-lipids-engineering-tailor-made-nanos", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/building-with-lipids-engineering-tailor-made-nanos", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34270/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34270/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/34270/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-11-17", "end_date": "2026-11-17", "start_time": "16:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<strong>Abstract </strong><br>\r\nIn this talk, I will describe how we engineer lipid membranes as tailor-made functional materials for drug delivery. I will show how we develop a toolbox of biomimetic nanostructures with defined membrane composition and mechanics, characterize them biochemically and biophysically, and link these properties to cellular uptake and cargo release.<br>\r\nCentral to our work are asymmetric vesicles, in which inner and outer leaflets are controlled independently: the outer leaflet governs recognition and uptake, while the inner leaflet protects and releases fragile cargo such as mRNA and proteins. I will close by extending this design space beyond lipids, to peptide- and polymer-based architectures and hybrids thereof, and to cell-selective targeting via membrane proteomes and surface polysaccharides.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Speaker</strong><br>\r\nKevin Jahnke is physicist specializing in biophysics and synthetic cell engineering, currently leading an Emmy Noether and Max Planck Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Germany.
