Member Seminar Speaker: Mike Douglas Title: AI and Theorem Proving Abstract: We survey interactive theorem proving and the Lean theorem prover, and the use of AI and large language models […]
Speaker: Max Reppen (Boston University) Title: Neural Optimal Stopping Boundary Abstract: A method based on deep artificial neural networks and empirical risk minimization is developed to calculate the boundary separating the stopping and […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran Title: Motivic Geometry of Two-Loop Feynman Integrals Abstract: We study the geometry and Hodge theory of the cubic hypersurfaces attached to two-loop Feynman integrals for generic […]
Speaker: David Gamarnik (MIT) Title: From spin glasses to Boolean circuits lower bounds. Algorithmic barriers from the overlap gap property Abstract: Many decision and optimization problems over random structures exhibit an apparent gap […]
Speaker: Tristan Collins, MIT Title: Complete Calabi-Yau metrics: Recent progress and open problems Abstract: Complete Calabi-Yau metrics are fundamental objects in Kahler geometry arising as singularity models or "bubbles" in […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Farzan Vafa Title: Dynamics of active nematic defects on cones Abstract: In the first part of the talk, we investigate the ground-state configurations of two-dimensional liquid crystals with […]
