Leggi dettagli

Overview

Extreme events such as market crashes, wildfires, unprecedented flooding and extreme heatwaves cause major disruptions across societal and ecological systems. Accurately modelling and simulating such phenomena remains one of the central challenges in statistics, machine learning and risk analysis.

The workshop Generative AI Modelling for Extreme Events (GAME 2026) aims to stimulate discussion on the use of generative models for extreme events and to promote the exploration of novel research directions at the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence and Extreme Value Theory.

A key objective of the event is to foster dialogue between the statistical learning and generative modelling community and researchers working in Extreme Value Theory, climate science and financial risk analysis.
