DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n			TITLE / TITRE\n				Escape the Curse of Dimensionality with La
 w Interpolations\n					\n					ABSTRACT/RÉSUMÉ\n\n				It is often thought that the 'curse
  of dimensionality' is incurable\, but in fact\, in the context of integra
 tion\, it can often be escaped through methods based on the interpolation 
 of laws. It is even possible to use these interpolation methods when the n
 otion of dimensionality is not defined\, i.e. in the abstract framework of
  Lebesgue integration\, which has practical consequences in Bayesian data 
 analysis.\n					\n					In this talk\, I will first give an overview of the methods o
 f approximation of integrals based on interpolations of distributions. Thi
 s introduction is available to undergraduate students. I will also present
  recent results that create a connection and compare two families of law i
 nterpolation\, i.e.\, on the one hand\, MCMC (parallel tempering\, simulat
 ed tempering\, etc.)\, and AIS/SMC (Annealed Importance Sampling) approach
 es.\n\n				PLACE /LIEU \n					Hybride - CRM\, Salle / Room 6214\, Pavillon André Ai
