    Joint Math/CMSA Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Kason Kunkelmann

  • What is a self-concordant barrier function?, and what is an accelerated first-order algorithm?  (ICM Series: On the work of Yurii Nesterov)

    CMSA Q&A Seminar
    Common Room, CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    CMSA Q&A Seminar Speaker: Robert M. Freund, MIT Title: What is a self-concordant barrier function?, and what is an accelerated first-order algorithm?  (ICM Series: On the work of Yurii Nesterov) Abstract: The two most impactful contributions of Nesterov on both theory and computation in optimization are (i) self-concordant barriers for interior-point methods in convex optimization, and (ii) […]

  • Local learning needs dendrites

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Riccardo Zecchina (Bocconi University) Title: Local learning needs dendrites Abstract: I will present a learning scheme for recurrent networks in which nonlinear dendrites enable learning by generating and stabilizing task-relevant attractors within a representation manifold. The scheme is local in space and time and matches the performance of backpropagation […]

  • The Geography of Symplectic 4-Manifolds

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Colloquium Speaker: Anar Akhmedov, University of Minnesota Title: The Geography of Symplectic 4-Manifolds Abstract: The symplectic geography problem, originally posed by J. McCarthy-J. Wolfson and R. Gompf, asks which ordered pairs of nonnegative integers are realized as (\chi(X),c_1^2(X)) for a symplectic 4-manifold X, where \chi(X)=(e(X)+\sigma(X))/4. In this talk, we will address the geography of simply […]

  • The IEANTN Project: Automation and Mathematical Understanding

    Virtual

    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Xinjie He, UCLA Title: The IEANTN Project: Automation and Mathematical Understanding Abstract: Explicit analytic number theory combines conceptual arguments with extensive bookkeeping and numerical computation, often drawing on long chains of results across many papers. The Integrated Explicit Analytic Number Theory Network (IEANTN) aims to organize this literature into […]
