SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Gilbert S. Omenn Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nEvolution was able to produce living systems with unfettered complexity\, solely by optimizing a simple emergent feature—reproductive fitness. In many ways\, this task shares features with learning in machine systems allowing us to draw parallels between evolution and deep neural networks. One of the keys to successful learning in both artificial and living systems is training in the context of variable conditions\, and it is this limitation that I propose as a theoretical underpinning of the phenomenon of biology aging. While Darwinian Evolution elegantly hints at how the highly ordered complex structures that define living matter evolved\, we are still left wondering why such systems inevitably perish. Many theories have been proposed over the years that can generally be grouped into three categories: programmed\, damage-based\, or quasi-programmed. I propose a novel theory of aging that falls in the category of quasi-programmed\, yet at the same time\, frames quasi-programmed theories in the context of optimization constraints in living systems. In essence\, I propose the following: that the programs employed by living systems have been highly optimized for fitness via selection. However\, as with AI models\, successful performance in these systems is predicated on the context to which they were trained. As described by proponents of evolutionary theories\, the forces of natural selection decline with age and from this perspective\, one can also frame this as a dearth of exposure to the context of old age during “evolutionary training”. Thus\, the systems will still employ the policies it had learned under the training contexts (e.g. the young organismal state with high fitness potential)\, however these policies can be inappropriate or even detrimental under the never-before-seen context (e.g. the old organism with low fitness potential). Finally\, I will discuss the application of multi-scale AI/ML models for capturing the complex phenomena of aging and learning how to optimize health.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: A quasi-invariant group action on SLE loops
DESCRIPTION:Conformal welding is an operation that encodes a large class of Jordan curves on the Riemann sphere\, including the loop version of Schramm–Loewner evolution (SLE)\, in terms of circle homeomorphisms. In this talk\, I will discuss a Cameron–Martin type quasi-invariance result for the SLE loop measure under the right group action by Weil–Petersson circle homeomorphisms on the welding homeomorphism. While this result was hinted at by Carfagnini and Wang's identification of the Onsager–Machlup action functional of the SLE loop measure with the Kähler potential of the unique right-invariant Kähler metric on the group of Weil–Petersson circle homeomorphisms (Loewner energy)\, the group structure of SLE welding has been little understood previously. Our proof is based on the characterization of the composition operator associated with Weil–Petersson circle homeomorphisms using Hilbert–Schmidt operators and the description of the SLE loop measure in terms of the welding of two independent quantum disks by Ang\, Holden\, and Sun. This is joint work with Shuo Fan (Tsinghua University and IHES).
