Consider the system of annihilating Brownian motions (ABM's) on the real lineunder the maximal entrance law. It turns out that the law of particles' positions at a given time is a Pfaffian point process equivalent to the law of real eigenvalues for the real Ginibre ensemble. Moreover, multi-time intensities for the system of ABM's are an extende...

Predictive modeling of physical processes in heterogeneous media requires innovations in mathematical and computational thinking. While multiscale approaches have been successful in modeling the effects of fine scales to macroscopic response, a significant grant challenge remains in understanding the effects of topological uncertainties in chara...

Boosting is one of the two most successful machine learning methodswith SVM. It uses gradient descent to an empirical loss function.When the step sizes are small, it is computationally efficient wayto approximate Lasso. When a nuclear norm penalization is applied to L2 loss,we have the low-rank regularization arising from the Netflix competition...

LS and Maximum Likelihood estimation (MLE) overfit when the dimension of the model is not small relative to the sample size. This happens almost always in high-dimensions. Regularziation often works by adding a penalty to the fitting criterion as in classical model selection methods such as AIC or BIC and L1-penalized LS called Lasso. We will al...

Membrane fluctuation and dynamics under an electric field is investigated, and results show that the membrane instability and dynamics depend not only on the mismatch in conductivity and permittivity between the bulk fluids, but also on the membrane charging time. In addition, the (entropic) membrane tension is found to depend on the electric fi...
