What to do in Saint-Malo

HIGHEST TIDES IN EUROPE

Saint-Malo has highest tides in Europe, and during GSI’23, we will have highest 2023 Saint-Malo tides of the year with a tide coefficient of 112 (13,33 meters of marling): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMyXCJ1Z7LA

You will attend the 1st lodges for these highest tides of the year from the “Palais du Grand Large” GSI’23 conference center. For people staying during the week-end, they could see highest 2023 tides at Mont-Saint-Michel (45 minutes from Saint-Malo) or visit Dinard (just in front of Saint-Malo) and French Britany Emeraude coast.

Enjoy French Brittany.

SOME OTHER COOL THINGS TO DO

Across from Saint-Malo, on left bank of the Rance, Dinard has been given the epithet the “Nice of the North” for its stately atmosphere. On the way you may be intrigued to know that the bridge that crosses the Rance estuary also houses Europe’s first tidal power plant, built in 1966 and still working.

Fort-National — The engineering mastermind Vauban drew up plans for this forward bastion on the Îlette rock at the western end of Plage du Sillon. It bears his tell-tale star configuration and was the final piece in Saint-Malo’s defensive puzzle, conceived to protect the city from the British navy. It did just this job in 1693 when it helped to fend off an Anglo-Dutch attack. Much later it became a makeshift prison for the German forces in the last days of their occupation in 1944. The fortress is open in the summer for tours, and is a perfect document of 17th-century military design.

Old Saint-Malo — With grey granite as the their material, Saint-Malo’s houses have a distinguished air that borders on severe, but is always beautiful. The “Intra-Muros” district is all cobblestone streets with bars, restaurants, upmarket shops and crêperies, and exploring is the name of the game. The sense of the city’s venerability is so strong that it almost seems impossible that most of Saint-Malo needed to be restored after 1944.

One of those dynamic beaches in a constant state of flux, Plage du Sillon is three kilometres of fine sand beginning just north of the walled city. This makes for easy strolling at any time of year, to work up an appetite and see the kites at low tide. On gentle summer days families come for the smooth sand and can bathe in the shallow rock pools on the western edge by Fort National.

Saint-Malo Walls — The ramparts protect the entirety of the old part of Saint-Malo and from a circuit of 1.75 kilometres. They were started in the 1100s, updated to combat new military technology in the 1600s and then expanded again up to the mid-18th century. Go up for panoramas of the sea, the Grand Bé island, Fort National, Dinard across the water and the magnificent granite homes of the city’s wealthy ship-owners.

ABOUT GSI

Chairmen Welcome

Welcome to “Geometric Science of Information” 2023 Conference

On behalf of both the organizing and the scientific committees, it is our great pleasure to welcome all delegates, representatives and participants from around the world to the sixth International SEE conference on “Geometric Science of Information” (GSI’23), scheduled at the end of August 2023.

GSI’23 benefits from scientific sponsors and financial sponsors.

The 3-day conference is also organized in the frame of the relations set up between SEE and scientific institutions or academic laboratories such as Ecole Polytechnique, Ecole des Mines ParisTech, INRIA, CentraleSupélec, Institut Mathématique de Bordeaux, Sony Computer Science Laboratories.

The GSI conference cycle has been initiated by the Brillouin Seminar Team as soon as 2009. The GSI’23 event has been motivated in the continuity of first initiatives launched in 2013 (https://www.see.asso.fr/gsi2013) at Mines PatisTech, consolidated in 2015 (https://www.see.asso.fr/gsi2015) at Ecole Polytechnique and opened to new communities in 2017 (https://www.see.asso.fr/gsi2017) at Mines ParisTech in 2019 (https://www.see.asso.fr/gsi2019) at ENAC Toulouse and in 2023 at Paris Sorbonne. We mention that in 2011, we organized an indo-french workshop on “Matrix Information Geometry” that yielded an edited book in 2013, and in 2017, collaborate to CIRM seminar in Luminy TGSI’17 “Topoplogical & Geometrical Structures of Information” (http://forum.cs-dc.org/category/94/tgsi2017). Last GSI’21 Proceedings have been edited by SPRINGER in Lecture Notes (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-80209-7 )

GSI satellites event have been organized in 2019 and 2020 as, FGSI’19 “Foundation of Geometric Science of Information” in Montpellier and Les Houches Seminar SPIGL’20 “Joint Structures and Common Foundations of Statistical Physics, Information Geometry and Inference for Learning” or MaxEnt’22.

The technical program of GSI’23 covers all the main topics and highlights in the domain of “Geometric Science of Information” including Information Geometry Manifolds of structured data/information and their advanced applications. This proceedings consists solely of original research papers that have been carefully peer-reviewed by two or three experts before, and revised before acceptance.

Historical background

As for the GSI’13, GSI’15, GSI’17, GSI’19 and GSI’21, GSI’23 addresses inter-relations between different mathematical domains like shape spaces (geometric statistics on manifolds and Lie groups, deformations in shape space etc.), probability/optimization & algorithms on manifolds (structured matrix manifold, structured data/Information etc.), relational and discrete metric spaces (graph metrics, distance geometry, relational analysis etc.), computational and Hessian information geometry, geometric structures in thermodynamics and statistical physics, algebraic/infinite dimensional/Banach information manifolds, divergence geometry, tensor-valued morphology, optimal transport theory, manifold & topology learning etc., and applications like geometries of audio-processing, inverse problems and signal/image processing. GSI’21 topics were enriched with contributions from Lie Group Machine Learning, Harmonic Analysis on Lie Groups, Geometric Deep Learning, Geometry of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, Geometric & (Poly)Symplectic Integrators, Contact Geometry & Hamiltonian Control, Geometric and structure preserving discretizations, Probability Density Estimation & Sampling in High Dimension, Geometry of Graphs and Networks and Geometry in Neuroscience & Cognitive Sciences.

At the turn of the century, new and fruitful interactions were discovered between several branches of science: Information Science (information theory, digital communications, statistical signal processing,), Mathematics (group theory, geometry and topology, probability, statistics, sheaves theory etc.) and Physics (geometric mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics etc.). The GSI conference cycle is a tentative to discover joint mathematical structures to all these disciplines by elaboration of a “General Theory of Information” embracing physics science, information science, and cognitive science in a global scheme.
