DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gabriel Peyré\nHost: Dr. Dorina Thanou\n\nTitle\nAI and
  Mathematics\n\nAbstract\nThis talk is divided into two parts. The first f
 ocuses on mathematics for AI: we will explore how mathematical tools are u
 sed to design\, analyze\, and improve neural network architectures\, train
 ing algorithms\, and more broadly\, the foundations of machine learning sy
 stems. The second part looks at AI for mathematics. Recent progress in lar
 ge language models (LLMs)\, which rely on generative networks to perform r
 easoning tasks\, has placed mathematics at the center of today’s breakth
 roughs. Training and applying these models raises questions about how math
 ematics is expressed in natural (informal) language as well as how it can 
 be formalized in structured systems such as Lean. This two-way interaction
  opens new possibilities for AI-assisted mathematical research\, while als
 o raising important questions about the future roles of teachers and resea
 rchers in mathematics.\n\nBio\nGabriel Peyré is a CNRS senior researcher 
 and professor at the École Normale Supérieure\, Paris. He works at the i
 nterface between applied mathematics and machine learning\, developing the
 oretical and numerical methods in Optimal Transport to analyze the trainin
 g of deep neural networks and to address applications in single-cell genom
 ics. He is also engaged in promoting reproducible research and coding educ
 ation\, particularly through the platform numerical-tours.com. He obtained
  3 ERC grants (starting in 2010\, consolidator in 2017 and advanced in 202
 4)\, the Blaise Pascal prize from the French Academy of Sciences in 2017\,
  the Magenes Prize from the Italian Mathematical Union in 2019\, and the s
 ilver medal from CNRS in 2021. He is an invited speaker at the European Co
 ngress for Mathematics in 2020 and the International Congress of Mathemati
 cians in 2026. He is the deputy director of the Prairie Institute for Arti
 ficial Intelligence\, the director of the ENS Center for Data Science\, an
 d of the ELLIS Paris Unit.\n
