The leading eigenvalue problem of a differential operator arises in many scientific and engineering applications, in particular quantum many-body problems. Due to the curse of dimensionality conventional algorithms become impractical due to the huge computational and memory complexity. In this talk, we will discuss some of our recent works on d...

Securing cyber systems is paramount, but cyber defenders lack evidence-based techniques required to make high-consequence decisions. With lack of principled and rigorous measurements and models, cyber defenders resort to heuristics and expert intuitions. Cyber experimentation is commonly used in security, and we approach this problem as a new ...

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.

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...
