The purpose of this reading group is to study recent developments in the theory and algorithms for sampling log-concave distributions. Our main source of the material is the recent monograph by Chewi (https://chewisinho.github.io/main.pdf), although we will also follow recent papers on the topic.
Meetings are on Mondays 1-2PM at the San Joaquín campus of PUC-Chile. For receiving the announcements of the reading group, please contact the organizers.
