    A Mean Field View of the Landscape of Two-Layers Neural Networks

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Speaker: Andrea Montanari (Stanford) Title: A Mean Field View of the Landscape of Two-Layers Neural Networks Abstract: Multi-layer neural networks are among the most powerful models in machine learning and yet, the fundamental reasons for this success defy mathematical understanding. Learning a neural network requires to optimize a highly non-convex and high-dimensional objective (risk function), a problem which […]

    Black Holes and Naked Singularities

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Speaker: Ramesh Narayan, Department of Astronomy, Harvard University Title: Black Holes and Naked Singularities Abstract: Black Hole solutions in General Relativity contain Event Horizons and Singularities. Astrophysicists have discovered two populations of black hole candidates in the Universe: stellar-mass objects with masses in the range 5 to 30 solar masses, and supermassive objects with masses […]

  • Workshop on Coding and Information Theory

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    The workshop on coding and information theory will take place April 9-13, 2018 at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, located at 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA. This workshop will focus on new developments in coding and information theory that sit at the intersection of combinatorics and complexity, and will bring together researchers from several communities — […]

    Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Speaker: Pablo Parillo (MIT) Title: Graph Structure in Polynomial Systems: Chordal Networks Abstract: The sparsity structure of a system of polynomial equations or an optimization problem can be naturally described by a graph summarizing the interactions among the decision variables. It is natural to wonder whether the structure of this graph might help in computational algebraic geometry […]

    On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Speaker: Washington Tayor (MIT) Title: On the fibration structure of known Calabi-Yau threefolds Abstract: In recent years, there is increasing evidence from a variety of directions, including the physics of F-theory and new generalized CICY constructions, that a large fraction of known Calabi-Yau manifolds have a genus one or elliptic fibration. In this talk I will describe […]
