Field Prize Prediction 2026 - Lisa Piccirllio (comes first), Urmila Mahadev (comes 2nd), Shai Evra, W Sawin, M Weber, Kaisa Matomaki, Adam Harper, Yifeng Liu, Dr. Tang's

As a project, 3 years back, I analyzed last 50 years of papers (10 TB data) of all the field medalists & the rest of the mathematicians (a lot of unstructured text data) to predict the field medal for the 2022 event. Again, this was a graph mining & NLP (natural language processing & text mining) exercise to motivate upcoming data scientists to try something new, figure out new problems to solve, and probably unleash the power of predictive analytics & narrow AI as well. 

This required a lot of 

1. Data cleaning 

2. Defining the breakthrough of every winner  

3. Developing co-author network data 

4. look-a-like profiling based on topics, citations, embeddings, and lot of other things  

5. Developing topic models through natural language processing, the topology of networks, superimposing topology of networks with topics & changing the definition of a breakthrough with respect to the papers of the winners 

6. Deep Divergence Learning & Ricci Flow for community detection for clustering right topics with unsupervised learning 

7. Reinforcement learning & ensemble modeling 

And A Secret recipe of this predictive analytics project which came through the concept of the topology of social networks & KBGAN: Adversarial Learning for Knowledge Graph Embeddings - https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04071 

8. Ant Colony Optimization to understand amongst research coauthors has the shortest path with innovation breakthrough yield & to win the Field..

My prediction came true for Maryana Viazovska, Hugo Duminil & J Maynard while Bhargav Bhatt won New Horizon breakthrough prize. 

I am running the algorithms this time for 2026 and the initial analysis shows Lisa Piccirllio (comes first), Urmila Mahadev (comes 2nd), Melanie Weber, Shai Evra, W Sawin, Kaisa Matomaki, Adam Harper, Yifeng Liu, Dr. Tang's name  have probability over 95% to win 2026 Field prize. 

Ricci Curvature, Yang-Mills curvature, New letter from Dr. Yau on Stable regular solution of Einstein-Yang-Mills equation

Hi Readers,

Its 3 AM in Mumbai.. I have been writing about Ricci Curvature, Yang Mills Curvature for a while. 

Some of you might like the new letter by Dr. Yau on it with Yang-Mills curvature tensor, coordinate transformation, etc. - 

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.09861.pdf

This is a very simple yet a genius letter. More to come on this topic. 

------------------------------

Different topic - 

I have been asked what books to read on Ricci Flow - 

The Book I recommend is Sobolev Inequalities, Heat Kernels under Ricci Flow, Poincare Conjecture by Qi S Zhang. 

Something which you might like in this book apart from my old lectures - 

 

Ricci Curvature and Field Prize prediction for 2026

Hey guys,

Here comes my new blogpost. 

1. Thank you - Thanks a lot for messages on A. my field prize prediction, B. My Ricci Flow video & C. My talk abstract which was selected for a satellite conference. 

I am building a new algorithm to predict Field Prize which is going to happen in 2026 using Graph Neural Networks, HodgeNet and Ricci Curvature. 

My Original Algorithm was - 

1. Data cleaning 

2. Defining the breakthrough of every winner  

3. Developing co-author network data 

4. look-a-like profiling based on topics, citations, embeddings, and lot of other things  

5. Developing topic models through natural language processing, the topology of networks, superimposing topology of networks with topics & changing the definition of a breakthrough with respect to the papers of the winners 

6. Deep Divergence Learning & Ricci Flow for community detection for clustering right topics with unsupervised learning 

7. Reinforcement learning & ensemble modeling 

And A Secret recipe of this predictive analytics project which came through the concept of the topology of social networks & KBGAN: Adversarial Learning for Knowledge Graph Embeddings - https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.04071 

8. Ant Colony Optimization to understand amongst research coauthors have shortest path with innovation breakthrough yield & to win field.. 

I am going to use lot of HodgeNet to analyze co-author network edges along with this original algorithm. 

More coming soon on this topic..  

Congratulations to Bhargav Bhatt and Field 2026

Hi Readers,

Congratulations to Bhargav Bhatt for winning Nemmers Prize this month.

While I have been using lot of dimensionality reduction techniques in my Field Prize Prediction algorithm (done 2 years before 2022 Field Prize which came true for which came true for - James Maynard, Hugo Duminil, Maryna Viazovska while Bhargav Bhatt winning New Horizons Breakthrough Prize and recently Northwestern University's Nemmers Prize - https://lnkd.in/dEs3E4ge ), I will be using HoroPCA for next Field Prize Prediction algorithm which is going to happen in 2026.
