IOP-IFISC Webinar on ‘Complex Systems Approaches to Information Processing’ IFISC together with the Institute of Physics (IOP), organize a webinar about Complex Systems Approaches to Information Processing presenting a recent special issue in J. Phys. Complexity edited by Maxi San Miguel, Claudio Mirasso and Ingo Fischer. The general topic of the webinar is the subject of the research program of IFISC´s Maria de Maeztu Unit of Excellence. The webinar (March 8, 3pm CET) will include a round table discussion on this topic. The area of information processing and computing is highly fractionalized. It covers sub-fields in machine learning, neuroscience, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, biology, social sciences, and more. Not only digital computers, but also organisms, brains, nonlinear physical, quantum, and socio-technical systems, as well as artificial neural networks and many other complex systems, carry out complex information processing. How systems process, store, and retrieve information, and how they can even learn to improve on specific tasks as an interplay of structure and dynamics are fundamental questions at the core of research in complex systems that we need to answer. Finding answers will represent the basis to a better understanding, and ultimately to designing efficient and robust complex information processing systems. This free webinar brings together five different perspectives from this endeavor and aims to explore the role that complex systems science plays in connecting the various involved fields.
