### Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

Reproducibility in Learning
Jessica Sorrell
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Reproducibility is vital to ensuring scientific conclusions are reliable, but failures of reproducibility have been a major issue in nearly all scientific areas of study in recent decades. A key issue underlying the reproducibility crisis is the...

### Members’ Colloquium

Cubic surfaces and non-Euclidean geometry
2:00pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

The classification of geometric structures on manifolds naturally leads to actions of automorphism groups, (such as mapping class groups of surfaces) on "character varieties" (spaces of equivalence classes of representations of surface groups).

### Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Bounds for subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n \times \mathbb{F}_p^n$ without L-shaped configurations
10:30am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

I will discuss the difficult problem of proving reasonable bounds in the multidimensional generalization of Szemerédi's theorem.  Most of the first talk will be spent going over Shkredov's proof of good bounds for sets lacking corners, in...
