This workshop brings together researchers actively working on graph learning and financial networks. Our goal is to informally exchange ideas and define new research agendas at the interface of these fields.
\r\n
\r\nTopics will include interbank payment systems, financial risk monitoring, and dynamic graph neural networks, among others.
\r\n
\r\nThe workshop is open to interested researchers and students. Space is limited, so please register using the link below. The workshop is organized by the Swissquote chair in quantitative finance and kindly sponsored by Swiss quote.
\r\n
\r\nRegistration required.
In combinatorics and ergodic theory, the decomposition into structured and random objects has been successfully exploited to prove density results and refinements. In both fields, nilsystems are the model for structured configurations. Recently, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Roberson used dynamics in nilsystems to provide a density version of Hindman's theorem. In this talk, we delve into further sumset consequences for these two extreme cases and provide some examples of applications.

Macrocyclic peptides are promising molecules for targeting intracellular protein–protein interactions and other challenging biological targets. However, their poor membrane permeability often limits their biological and therapeutic applications. Understanding the structural factors that govern passive membrane permeation is therefore essential for the rational design of cell-permeable macrocyclic peptides.
\r\n
\r\nIn this seminar, I will present our recent efforts to understand and predict the membrane permeability of macrocyclic peptides using large-scale experimental data, conformational analysis, and machine learning. We aim to clarify how conformational flexibility, including molecular chameleonicity, influences membrane permeability.
\r\n
\r\nI will also introduce our ongoing efforts toward DNA-encoded macrocyclic N-methyl peptide libraries as a future platform for discovering functional intracellular binders.

\r\nFor whom\r\n
Current research indicates that the role of generative AI in education is a double-edged sword: on one hand it can assist teachers for designing effective learning tasks and resources, on the other hand it can have negative effects on student learning and raises a range of ethical questions.
\r\nIn our new workshop series “Responsible AI skills for education” we will try to navigate these questions by focusing on specific teaching and learning activities and identifying practical skills you can develop for your everyday practice. Through a blend of concise theoretical input and hands-on activities, we will explore both the benefits and the risks of generative AI in education in short 1-hour sessions on campus. The first two workshops in the series focus on quiz design and critical analysis skills.
\r\n
\r\nTeaching critical analysis:
\r\nIn this 1-hour workshop, we will focus on how to help students develop critical analysis skills for reviewing LLM outputs in the context of learning tasks. The workshop will combine theoretical inputs and hands-on activities, drawing on your disciplinary expertise and fact-checking strategies.
