Ancient Solutions to Geometric Flows
11:30am|Simonyi Hall 101

Abstract: Some of the most important problems in geometric evolution partial differential equations are related to the understanding of singularities. This usually happens through a blow up procedure near the singularity which uses the scaling...

Representation Theory & Combinatorics of the Symmetric Group and Related Structures
Monica Vazirani
11:00am|Virtual

With an eye toward coordinating with the advanced course, we will start with the representation theory of the symmetric group and related combinatorics. We will focus on the functors of induction and restriction. We will then consider related...

Representation Theory & Categorification
12:15pm|Virtual

In modern representation theory we often study the category of modules over an algebra, in particular its intrinsic and combinatorial structures. Vice versa one can ask the question: which categories have a given combinatorics? This is the basic...

Geometric Categorifications of the Hecke Algebra
Laura Rider
11:00am|Virtual

Abstract: In the first part of this talk, I'll explain a geometric categorification of the Hecke algebra in terms of perverse sheaves on the flag variety. In the second part, we'll study the affine Hecke algebra. In this case, there are two...

Beyond Abstract Algebra
Chelsea Walton
2:30pm|Virtual

Abstract: This is a tale about my adventures of being trained as a Ring Theorist to now using Category Theory in my work. This is something that I certainly did not predict when I defended my thesis 10 years ago, but the best stories are...

Colloquium: Learning Generalizable Visual Representations
Kate Saenko
11:45am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

In computer vision, generalization of neural representations is usually measured on i.i.d. data. This hides the fact that representations often struggle to generalize to non-i.i.d data and fail to overcome the biases inherent in visual datasets. I...

Stop explaining black box machine learning models for high stakes decisions and use interpretable models instead
Cynthia Rudin
4:30pm|Wolfensohn Hall and Remote Access

Abstract:  With widespread use of machine learning, there have been serious societal consequences from using black box models for high-stakes decisions. Explanations for black box models are not reliable, and can be misleading. If we use...

Stochastic Gradient Descent: where optimization meets machine learning
11:45am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Abstract: Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is the de facto optimization algorithm for training neural networks in modern machine learning, thanks to its unique scalability to problem sizes where the data points, the number of data points, and the...
