Thesis: “Técnicas y modelos del lenguaje del pensamiento para el aprendizaje automático a partir de cuerpos de datos ralos”
Directors: Santiago Figueira and Mariano Sigman
Jury: Luciana Benotti, German Kruszewski and Ana Maguitman

Sergio has collaborated, among others, with Marie Amalric and Stanislas Dehaene from the french side of SINFIN while preparing his thesis.

The defense is scheduled for Monday, December 20, 2021, at 2p.m., and will be streamed here:

The MathAmSud Project STALGRAPH have their second workshop on Wednesday, 24th of November, 9AM-1PM South American time / 1PM-5PM French time.

In November/December 2021, in the first LDPL physical meeting since the COVID-19 crisis,

• Alejandro Díaz-Caro, Malena Ivnisky, and Rafael Romero visit Université Paris-Saclay.
• Agustín Borgna, Gilles Dowek, and Delia Kesner and visit Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Alejandro Díaz-Caro (Argentina) and Gilles Dowek (France), got the “Best Paper Award” at the 18th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing (ICTAC 2021) for their work “A New Connective in Natural Deduction, and Its Application to Quantum Computing“.

The following is an English translation of the announcement which will appear in the ‘’Carnets’’ of the  French Journal ”le Monde”, in the Section ‘’Mémoire’’

Philippe Flajolet
Computer scientist and mathematician.
Member of the Academy of Sciences,

left us ten years ago, on March 22, 2011.

All of us, who work in the fields of mathematical informatics, in France and abroad, we will not forget him.
Philippe’s work accompanies us every day in our research and shows us the way.

Several members of SINFIN, notably in the  ”Randomness and Analysis of Algorithms” team, worked hand by hand with Philippe Flajolet.

As announced before, the Instituto de Ciencias de la Computación (ICC) will be the organiser of the 6th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2021). A news article about it appeared in the ICC news:

Virtual meeting: “Workshop on Randomness and Analysis of Algorithms ( RAPA2 )“, which is a STIC AMSUD project involving SINFIN members. The meeting has been held on December 10th and 11th in the morning for the South Americans and in the afternoon for the French partners.
