However, classical schemes like RSA and ECDSA are vulnerable to quantum attacks, prompting a global shift toward post-quantum cryptographic alternatives. As part of this transition, NIST has already standardized three post-quantum cryptographic schemes: (i) ML-KEM (FIPS 203) for key encapsulation, based on CRYSTALS-Kyber; (ii) ML-DSA (FIPS 204) for digital signatures, derived from CRYSTALS-Dilithium; and (iii) SLH-DSA (FIPS 205), a ... 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar MiRAGE: A Data-Driven Approach to Drug Repositioning and Target Interaction Prediction School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES In this work, we present two machine learning-based approaches for predicting drug-disease and drug-target interactions, with a strong emphasis on the role of meaningful feature selection. While deep learning models have shown great potential in biomedical domains, their complexity often comes at the cost of interpretability a crucial factor in clinical and pharmacological applications. Our research demonstrates that when biologically relevant and informative features are carefully engineered, classical machine learning models can achieve competitive performance while offering greater transparency. By leveraging domain knowledge to extract f ... 17:30 - 19:00 Algebraic Geometry Biweekly Webinar The classification of Fano 3-folds and the Fano/Landau?Ginzburg correspondence School MATHEMATICS I introduce Fano varieties and the classification problem. I explain the conjectural framework of Fano/Landau?Ginzburg correspondence and its consequences for the classification of Fano varieties. I intend this to be an accessible colloquium-style presentation. https://zoom.us/join Meeting ID: 9086116889 Passcode: 362880 Website: http://math.ipm.ac.ir/agnt/ Venue: Online ... 18:00 - 19:30 Physics Colloquium Copenhagen Survey on Black Holes and Fundamental Physics School PHYSICS Date and time, 6-7:30pm, Wednesday 27 Farvardin 1404 (16 April 2025). Venue: Online Link https://www.skyroom.online/ch/schoolofphysics/colloquium Abstract The purpose of this survey is to take a snapshot of the attitudes of physicists working on some of the most pressing questions in modern physics, which may be useful to sociologists and historians of science. For this study, a total of 85 completed surveys were returned out of 151 registered participants of the ``Black holes Inside and out'' co ... |
