Catastrophic Generic Change: Understanding Global Interconnectedness. In this lecture, Poovey describes the current financial crisis and argues that regulators need to identify the heart of the problem before they can devise a workable corrective. She suggests that what caused -- and now prolongs -- the financial crisis is a novel financial inst...

Tropical geometry is the geometry over the tropical semiring, which is the set of real numbers where the tropical addition is taking the minimum, and the tropical multiplication is the ordinary addition. As the ordinary linear and polynomial algebra give rise to convex geometry and algebraic geometry, tropical linear and polynomial algebra give ...

Tensor decompositions (e.g., higher-order analogues of matrix decompositions such as the singular value decomposition) are powerful tools for data analysis. In particular, the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) model has proved useful in many applications such chemometrics, signal processing, and web analysis, to name a few. The problem of computing the CP ...
