Limits of Dense Simplicial Complexes
Description:
We develop a theory of limits for sequences of dense abstract simplicial complexes, where a sequence is considered convergent if its homomorphism densities converge. The limiting objects are represented by stacks of measurable [0,1]-valued functions on unit cubes of increasing dimension, each corresponding to a dimension of the abstract simplici...

Method of Moments: From Sample Complexity to Efficient Implicit Computations
Description:
In this talk, I focus on the multivariate method of moments for parameter estimation. First from a theoretical standpoint, we show that in problems where the noise is high, the number of observations necessary to estimate parameters is dictated by the moments of the distribution. Second from a computational standpoint, we address the curse of di...

Motivic Euler characteristics and the Motivic Segal-Becker theorem (Remotely)
Description:
A well-known and very useful result in algebraic topology is the statement that the Euler characteristic of G/N(T) in singular cohomology is 1, where G is a compact Lie group and N(T) is the normalizer of a maximal torus. In the presence of a transfer map as constructed by Becker and Gottlieb the above result shows that in any generalized cohomo...

On Multiclass Adversarial Training, Perimeter Minimization, and Multimarginal Optimal Transport Problems
Description:
Adversarial training is a framework widely used by machine learning practitioners to enforce robustness of learning models. Despite the development of several computational strategies for adversarial training and some theoretical development in the broader distributionally robust optimization literature, there are still several theoretical quest...

Path induction and the indiscernibility of identicals
Description:
Mathematics students learn a powerful technique for proving theorems about an arbitrary natural number: the principle of mathematical induction. This talk introduces a closely related proof technique called "path induction," which can be thought of as an expression of Leibniz's "indiscernibility of identicals": if x and y are identified, then th...

Persistent cup-length
Description:
Cohomological ideas have recently been injected into persistent homology and have for example been used for accelerating the calculation of persistence diagrams by softwares, such as Ripser. The cup product operation which is available at cohomology level gives rise to a graded ring structure that extends the usual vector space structure and is ...

Persistent homology and its fibre (Remotely)
Description:
Persistent homology is a main tool in topological data analysis. So it is natural to ask how strong this quantifier is and how much information is lost. There are many ways to ask this question. Here we will concentrate on the case of level set filtrations on simplicial sets. Already the example of a triangle yields a rich structure with the Möb...

Ramification in Higher Algebra
Description:
I will review the theory of ramification in number theory and then show that being totally ramified or unramified is equivalent to a natural condition in higher algebra. This leads to a much simplified calculation of THH of a ring of integers in a number field, relying on ramified descent (a kind of weaker etale descent).

Relaxing Gaussian Assumptions in High Dimensional Statistical Procedures
Description:
The assumption that high dimensional data is Gaussian is pervasive in many statistical procedures, due not only to its tail decay, but also to the level of analytic tractability this special distribution provides. We explore the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption in Single Index models and Shrinkage estimation using two tools that originate i...

Sarah Reyes
Description:
Sarah Reyes was born in the Phlippines and moved to the U.S. when she was in middle school. Though she faced a lot of racial discrimination in her first years of being here, she eventually found a Filipino American community that she is proud to be a part of now.

Simplifying Federated Learning Jobs With Flame
Description:
Federated machine learning (FL) is gaining a lot of traction across research communities and industries. FL allows machine learning (ML) model training without sharing data across different parties, thus natively supporting data privacy. However, designing and executing FL jobs is not an easy task today. Flame is an open-source project that aims...

Stability and Generalization in Graph Convolutional Neural Networks
Description:
In recent years, the need to accommodate non-Euclidean structures in data science has brought a boom in deep learning methods on graphs, leading to many practical applications with commercial impact. In this talk, we will review the mathematical foundations of the generalization capabilities of graph convolutional neural networks (GNNs). We will...

Topological explorations of neuron morphology
Description:
To understand the function of neurons, as well as other types of cells in the brain, it is essential to analyze their shape. Perhaps unsurprisingly, topology provides us with tools ideally suited to performing such an analysis. In this talk I will present a selection of the results of a long-standing collaboration with Lida Kanari of the Blue Br...

Toward conjectures of Rognes and Church--Farb--Putman (Lecture Remotely)
Description:
In this talk I will give an overview of two related projects. The first project concerns the high-degree rational cohomology of the special linear group of a number ring R. Church--Farb--Putman conjectured that, when R is the integers, these cohomology groups vanish in a range close to the virtual cohomological dimension. The groups SL_n(R) sati...

Towards a Better Evaluation of Football Players
Description:
The game of football is undergoing a significant shift towards the quantitative. Much of the progress made in the analytics space can be attributed to play-by-play data and charting data. However, recent years have given rise to tracking data, which has opened the door for innovation that was not possible before. In this talk I will describe ho...
