Structure-Aware Adaptive Nonconvex Optimization for Deep Learning and Scientific Computing (Minxin Zhang, UCLA)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Modern machine learning and scientific computing pose optimization challenges of unprecedented scale and complexity, demanding fundamental advances in both theory and algorithmic design for nonconvex optimization. This talk presents recent advances that address these challenges by exploiting matrix and tensor structures, integrating adaptivity, and leveraging sampling techniques. In the first part, I introduce AdaGO, […]

Positivity aspects of complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials (Stephan Garcia, Pomona)
Estella 2099Hunter's theorem ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric (CHS) polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. We provide new proofs of Hunter's theorem, applications to operator theory, and a […]

GEMS December 6th Session
Shanahan B450, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, United StatesThis GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Ryan Aschoff from the Claremont Graduate University. Title: Randomness: Creating Order from Chaos Abstract: From the hiss of white noise to the gentle hum of ocean waves, randomness surrounds us — yet hidden within that chaos lies remarkable order. In this talk, we’ll explore how unpredictable events, […]

Fractional Brownian Motion: Small Increments and First Exit Time from One-sided Barrier (Qidi Peng, CGU)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: The talk introduces a conjecture on the first exit time of fractional Brownian motion: the upper-tail probability for a fractional Brownian motion to first exit a positive-valued barrier over time […]
-
The forbidden quiver of a link (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Estella 2099Virtual links can be represented as equivalence classes of Gauss diagrams under Reidemeister moves. The Forbidden Moves are moves which look plausible but change the virtual isotopy class of the […]

Sampling from the proper colorings of a graph using a number of colors linear in the maximum degree in expected linear time (Mark Huber, CMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: A proper coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors from \( \{1, 2, \ldots, k\} \) to each node of a graph such that no two nodes […]

Relationships between skein algebras (Helen Wong, CMC)
Estella 2099We will examine the multiplicative structure of two skein algebras--- the usual Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface (generated by loops) and a generalization of it due to Roger-Yang […]
