• Singular Set in Obstacle Problems

    Abstract: In this talk we describe a new method to study the singular set in the obstacle problem. This method does not depend on monotonicity formulae and works for fully […]

  • On optimization and generalization in deep learning

    Abstract: Deep neural networks have achieved significant empirical success in many fields, including the fields of computer vision and natural language processing. Along with its empirical success, deep learning has been theoretically shown to be […]

  • An operadic structure on supermoduli spaces

    Abstract: The operadic structure on the moduli spaces of algebraic curves  encodes in a combinatorial way how nodal curves in the boundary can be obtained by glueing smooth curves along marked […]

  • Secure Multi-Party Computation: from Theory to Practice

    Abstract: Encryption is the backbone of cybersecurity. While encryption can secure data both in transit and at rest, in the new era of ubiquitous computing, modern cryptography also aims to […]

  • Geometric Models for Sets of Probability Measures

    Abstract: Many statistical and computational tasks boil down to comparing probability measures expressed as density functions, clouds of data points, or generative models.  In this setting, we often are unable to […]
