Vyacheslav V. Shokurov (Johns Hopkins University) Title: Birational geometry Abstract: About main achievements in birational geometry during the last fifty years. Talk chair: Caucher Birkar Video
Yujiro Kawamata (University of Tokyo) Title: Kunihiko Kodaira and complex manifolds Abstract: Kodaira’s motivation was to generalize the theory of Riemann surfaces in Weyl’s book to higher dimensions. After quickly recalling the chronology of Kodaira, I will review some of Kodaira’s works in three sections on topics of harmonic analysis, deformation theory and compact complex surfaces. Each topic […]
Speaker: Gil Kalai (Hebrew University and IDC Herzliya) Title: Statistical, mathematical, and computational aspects of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers Abstract: Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) Computers hold the key for important theoretical and experimental questions regarding quantum computers. In the lecture I will describe some questions about mathematics, statistics and computational complexity which arose in my study of NISQ systems and […]
Speaker: Jeffrey Pennington, Google Brain Title: Triple Descent and a Fine-Grained Bias-Variance Decomposition Abstract: Classical learning theory suggests that the optimal generalization performance of a machine learning model should occur at an intermediate model complexity, striking a balance between simpler models that exhibit high bias and more complex models that exhibit high variance of the […]
