MCQMC 2022 - Linz

July 21, 2022

Today I had the chance to present our work on a kernelized version of consensus based optimization at the 15th International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing.

This is a joint work with Leon Bungert and Philipp Wacker which is discussed in more detail in this post.

I gave a talk titled “Mean-field models for self-attention dynamics in transformers” at the workshop Gradient Flows Face-to-Face 6 meets Transformers at Ulm University. My talk was based on the following papers:

Consensus-based optimization for linearly separable functions

September 1, 2026

Together with Christian Fiedler we posted a new preprint on Consensus-based optimization for linearly separable functions. We propose a reparametrization strategy that provably finds coordinate transformations in which the objective becomes separable, which...
