SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CSCS Seminar | Twists\, triangles\, and tentacles: A guided tour of high-dimensional basins in networked dynamical systems
DESCRIPTION:Coffee and snacks will be provided. This talk will be recorded for later viewing.\n\nAbstract: In this talk\, I will explore the interesting geometries that emerge in high-dimensional attraction basins\, which are important in applications such as protein folding\, cell differentiation\, and neural networks. Using simple networks of coupled oscillators\, I will show that high-dimensional basins are generally highly nonconvex and nonlocal\, with most of the basin volume concentrated in tentacle-like structures. Next\, I will show that introducing non-pairwise interactions in the network can make basins deeper but smaller—the attractors become linearly more stable but much harder to find due to basins shrinking dramatically. I will end with a few applications to neuroscience.
