In one of many worlds, we will either (i) discuss a way to minimally extend the traditional workhorse of machine learning, the linear model, by considering the quadratic model, an interacting…

In this talk, I’ll describe a new model of low dimensional de Sitter holography in the form of a pair of DSSYK models coupled via an equal energy constraint.
