Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I

The Diffraction Limit and Extremal Functions
Ankur Moitra
11:15am|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

It is widely believed that the physics of diffraction imposes certain fundamental limits on the resolution of an optical system. In this work we study the diffraction limit as a statistical inverse problem in increasingly more realistic mathematical...

Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Learning from Dynamics
Ankur Moitra
10:30am|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

Linear dynamical systems are the canonical model for time series data. They have wide-ranging applications and there is a vast literature on learning their parameters from input-output sequences. Moreover they have received renewed interest because...
