A NETADIS-NORDITA meeting in honor of John Hertz' 70th birthday

Organizers: Yasser Roudi, Manfred Opper and Peter Sollich

Studying the dynamics of large systems with complex dynamics, e.g. arising
from disorder in the form of competing interactions, is important for a wide
range of problems from spin glasses to machine learning, neuroscience, protein
interaction networks, metabolic networks and systemic risk in finance.

The dynamics in these systems are typically stochastic and time irreversible,
raising many technical and conceptual challenges: How do we describe the
dynamics accurately without full stochastic simulation? How can we solve
"dynamical inverse problems", i.e. infer properties of the underlying network
from observations of the dynamics? How do we extend inference approaches
for complete observations of trajectories to partial (and noisy) observations?

In this workshop we bring together experts in statistical physics approaches
suited to large networks together with experts in interdisciplinary application
areas to address these questions.
