Applied Math Seminar

Title:  Recalibration of Predicted Probabilities Using the "Logit Shift": Why Does It Work, and When Can It Be Expected to Work Well? Abstract: In the context of election analysis, researchers […]

Title Control algorithms for unmanned underwater vehicles: new approaches based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations and reinforcement learning. Abstract Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are defined by their ability to operate without direct human intervention.  As a result, UUVs are valuable for surveillance tasks, especially in the presence of hazardous environmental conditions. Specific applications of UUVs include seafloor mapping, […]

During this student-centered Applied Math Seminar, there will be discussion and presentations about upcoming courses offered in applied mathematics, to help students make their enrollment choices for Spring 2024 and […]

Title: On the Composition of Classical Mechanical Systems Abstract: Compositionality is a basic principle for understanding the physical world. The underlying idea is to study a system by studying the […]

Title: Existence and multiplicity of solutions for a cooperative elliptic system using Morse theory This is joint work with Leandro Recova (Cal Poly Pomona) Abstract

Title: Tropical Linear Series Abstract: In this talk I'll attempt to give a friendly and example-driven introduction to the theory of linear series on tropical curves. While in some respects mirroring […]

Join us for the first talk in the joint seminar with CCMS Applied Math and the Universidad Nacional de Colombia Title Serre Conjecture. Geometric interpretation of the Quillen-Suslin Theorem. Abstract: […]

This is the continuation of the semester's joint seminar with the Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Manizales. Title: Enumerating linearity regions of max-pooling layers in convolutional neural networks Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNN's) […]

Title: Graphical Anomaly Detection for High Dimensional and Object Data Abstract: Anomaly detection is an important task in data analysis, though an agreed upon definition of what constitutes an outlier […]

Title:  Can a function tell us how immune cells kill? Speaker: Prof. Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College, Claremont CA) Abstract: The immune system is able to fight cancer by mustering and training […]

Title: Geometric Optimization Involving Partial Differential Equations and Its Applications Speaker: Professor Chiu-Yen Kao, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA USA Abstract: Optimal geometric design for energy functionals, which depends on solutions to partial differential equations, provides a vast number of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. One of the famous problems is that L. Rayleigh conjectured that the disk […]
