• Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision

    CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United States

    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Yongji Wang, NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Title: Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision Abstract: Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial […]

  • Mathematical foundations of AI

    CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United States

    Mathematical foundations of AI Date: October 6–10, 2025 Location: Harvard CMSA, Room G10, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA & via Zoom Artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved unprecedented advances, yet our theoretical understanding lags significantly behind. This gap poses a significant obstacle to improving AI’s safety and reliability. Since the classical tools of learning theory have proven […]

  • The Geometry of Machine Learning

    CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United States

    The Geometry of Machine Learning Dates: September 15–18, 2025 Location: Harvard CMSA, Room G10, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 Despite the extraordinary progress in large language models, mathematicians suspect that other dimensions of intelligence must be defined and simulated to complete the picture. Geometric and symbolic reasoning are among these. In fact, there seems […]
