Perspectives and Challenges in High-Order Interactions in Complex Systems

DIEP-IAS workshop

High-order interactions are interactions that go beyond a sequence of pairwise interactions. Multiple approaches exist that aim to detect and quantify high-order (or synergistic) interactions, of which Topological Data Analysis (TDA) and Information Theory (IT) are two of the most prominent approaches. Advancing insights into high-order interactions are crucial for understanding complexity in our modern world.

Over the past two years, IAS has supported numerous fellows and associated members interested in this interdisciplinary agenda. Building on their work and the synergies amongst the participants of the first online workshop organized in April 2021, IAS, together with the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP), will host an interdisciplinary workshop on perspectives and challenges in high-order interactions in complex systems. 

The central questions of this workshop are: What do the different approaches to high-order interactions in complex systems have in common? How can they be integrated? And what perspectives and challenges do they bring to application domains, especially in neuroscience? 

For this creative process, we have invited leading scholars from Topological Data Analysis, Applied Geometry, Information Theory, Network Science and Neuroscience. Over two days, the workshop hopes to foster hands-on brainstorming among 15-18 interdisciplinary scholars working on theoretical and applied problems relating to high-order interactions in complex systems.  

This event is hosted by IAS and DIEP fellow Fernando Santos, IAS fellow Tiziano Squartini, and IAS associate Rick Quax.

This is an invitational workshop.
