Data depths meet Hamilton-Jacobi equations
Description:
Widespread application of modern machine learning has increased the need for robust statistical algorithms. One fundamental geometric quantity in robust statistics is known as a data depth, which generalizes the notion of quantiles and medians to multiple dimensions. This talk will discuss recent work (in collaboration with Martin Molina-Fructuo...

Data Science at The New York Times
Description:
The Data Science group at The New York Times develops and deploys machine learning solutions to newsroom and business problems. Re-framing real-world questions as machine learning tasks requires not only adapting and extending models and algorithms to new or special cases but also sufficient breadth to know the right method for the right challen...

Deep Networks and the Multiple Manifold Problem
Description:
Data with low-dimensional nonlinear structure are ubiquitous in engineering and scientific problems. We study a model problem with such structure—a binary classification task that uses a deep fully-connected neural network to classify data drawn from two disjoint smooth curves on the unit sphere. Aside from mild regularity conditions, we p...

Discovering Genetic Networks Using Compressive Sensing
Description:
Consider a particular quantitative trait, and suppose we want to discover a function that maps how n participating genes (or even environmental influences) interact to express the trait. Under plausible assumptions of how they evolved, certain traits can be viewed as “smooth” functions on the n-dimensional Boolean lattice of possibl...

Duluth Depot comedy and tragedy masks wearing face masks
Description:
These two large masks are on the wall near the theatre space at the Duluth Depot. In this photograph, they are each wearing two disposable face masks, one each over their noses and mouths. A bottle of hand sanitizer is on a pillar between the masks. This photograph was taken while a vaccination clinic was being run in the Great Hall at the Depot.

Finding Effective Spreaders for Fast Communication in Small and Large Networks
Description:
The identification of nodes in a network that will enable the fastest spread of information is an important if not fundamental problem in network control and design. It is applicable to the optimal placement of sensors, the design of secure networks and the problem of control when network resources are limited. We consider a discrete time model...

Handling model uncertainties via informative Goodness-of-Fit
Description:
When searching for signals of new astrophysical phenomena, astrophysicists have to account for several sources of non-random uncertainties which can dramatically compromise the sensitivity of the experiment under study. Among these, model uncertainty arising from background mismodeling is particularly dangerous and can easily lead to highly misl...
