SPARS 2019, HDPA-2019 and papers from the Theoretical Physics for Deep Learning ICML 2019 Workshop

** Nuit Blanche is now on Twitter: @NuitBlog **

With the summer comes the conference and schools. This time around is no exception:

SPARS 2019 is currently going on in Toulouse, here is the list of presentations there. Some folks are tweeting about the event with the #SPARS2019 hashtag.

HDPA-2019 : High dimensional probability and algorithms, is currently taking place here in Paris.

The Theoretical Physics for Deep Learning ICML 2019 Workshop took place June 14th 2019 in Long Beach, CA. Here are all the accepted papers:
