About the school

The school brings together leading researchers in mathematics, modeling and computer science from Vietnam and France, under the collaboration between VAST and CNRS.

It gives senior researchers, young researchers, PhD candidates and master's students from both countries a place to deepen their knowledge, present current work, build professional networks and shape joint projects for the years ahead.

Four days are structured by research area: sessions on the principles of mathematics and modeling first, then advanced topics in computing, with flash communications and poster sessions at the end of each of the first two full days. An optional two-day tour of Ha Long Bay follows the closing session.

Topics

The program is built around seven themes. The list is not exhaustive — related work is welcome in the flash communication and poster sessions.

A

Interdisciplinary research and challenges

Where mathematics, modeling and computing meet, and what breaks at the seams.

B

Mathematical foundations of data science

Belief functions, quantum and combinatorial optimization, probability, numerical analysis.

C

Complex system modeling

Automata networks, random walks, discrete dynamical systems, agent-based simulation.

D

Distributed infrastructure and edge computing

Cloud architectures, parallel computing and GPU acceleration, networks and security.

E

Machine learning and deep learning

Neural networks, graph neural networks, optimization in learning, reinforcement and few-shot learning.

F

Applications of math and interdisciplinary data science

Genomics and bioinformatics, imaging, big data, and work carried out with domain partners.

G

Flash communications and posters

PhD students and young researchers present ongoing work in 180 seconds, then discuss at the poster boards.
