November Webinar series: Uncertainty Communication
The Statistics Communication section is organizing a webinar series on uncertainty communication. On four Tuesdays in November, 16.00-16.45h, different speakers will talk about communicating (statistical) uncertainty to the general public in various contexts. All talks will be held online (via Zoom).

Ce Zhang on November 14, 16.30 (CET) @ Online Seminar Series Machine Learning NeEDS Mathematical Optimization
Dear colleagues,
On November 14, 16.30 (CET), Ce Zhang will give a talk at the Online Seminar Series Machine Learning NeEDS Mathematical Optimization, https://congreso.us.es/mlneedsmo/.
Title: Distributed Systems for Decentralized AI: Last Decade and Beyond
Abstract: Today’s machine learning models are trained dominantly in a centralized environment such as data centers. Such a strong dependency on closely coupled interconnections is causing problems not only with the cost of infrastructure, contributing to the staggering cost of model training (not uncommon to be in the million-dollar regime!) but also with the transparency and openness of today’s machine learning ecosystem. While a decentralized paradigm has been successfully applied to various other areas such as SETI@HOME and Folding@HOME, their adoption to machine learning comes with great challenges — today’s optimization algorithms that are designed for fast networks are inherently communication heavy. To bring AI into a decentralized future, we need to fundamentally rethink the training algorithm, system design, and hardware accelerations, all together.
In this talk, I will provide a personal reflection on our efforts in decentralized learning over the last decade, and put them into the context of many fascinating work that has been conducted by the community during the same period of time. I will also discuss my personal view on the future of decentralized learning and a «cry for help» with many challenges that we are still struggling with.

We would like to bring your attention to the 2022 call of the initiative YoungWomen4OR. This initiative aims to introduce to our community emerging young women working in OR, either in academia or in the industry. The WISDOM Forum will promote selected individuals by spotlighting their work through EURO channels and providing networking and mentoring opportunities. **All young women working in OR are strongly encouraged to participate**. *) Eligibility: Early career female researchers/practitioners (at most 3 years after Ph.D.) or Ph.D. students in their last year of study in the field of OR. Member of a EURO national association. *) Program Details and Benefits: WISDOM will select 12 individuals each year. Selected individuals will be invited to present their work or research proposals at the EURO-k Conference in the YoungWomen4OR Stream. Opportunities to meet with WISDOM members and other senior researchers within EURO will be created. *) Application deadlines: From October 28th, 2022, to November 18th, 2022. Candidates are invited to fill out the following application form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDkO3IGP10OEpk9gmiLlyQtNn8BW1ahmK1O-Z4NwP08DIP9Q/viewform *) Selection: The selection process will take into account the information provided in the application including the future project plans of the candidates. As far as possible, a fair representation of all the countries within the EURO association will be pursued. Selected candidates will be informed at the beginning of December 2022. *) Jury: The Selection Jury consists of the following WISDOM members: Ana Barbosa-Povoa (Portugal), Renata Mansini (Italy), and Sibel Salman (Turkey). *) Contacts: For further information, please send an e-mail to YoungWomen4OR@euro-onlineorg. The EURO WISDOM is a forum to support, empower, and encourage the participation of all genders in Operational Research and Management Science.
