• GEMS March 7th Session

    Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

    This GEMS session will be facilitated by Robbie Tran from Claremont Graduate University. Title: Formulating Equations as a Medium for Digital Art and Design Abstract: As we can utilize letters and words to write out mathematics (e.g. 2+2=4 can be written as “two plus two is equal to four”), this session seeks to explore the […]

  • An Odd Estimator for Shapley Values (Teal Witter, CMC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: The Shapley value is a ubiquitous framework for attribution in machine learning, encompassing feature importance, data valuation, and causal inference. However, its exact computation is generally intractable, necessitating efficient approximation methods. While the most effective and popular estimators leverage the paired sampling heuristic to reduce estimation error, the theoretical mechanism driving this improvement has […]

  • Hecke algebras and motives (Robert Cass, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    Hecke algebras play a central role in both number theory and representation theory. While some Hecke algebras have explicit descriptions in terms of generators and relations, others are understood through structure constants that encode multiplicities in tensor products of representations. In this talk, I will discuss several projects with Thibaud van den Hove and Jakob […]

  • NO CCMS Colloquium: Pi Day at CMC

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

  • Analysis Seminar: Metrics on quantum channels from noncommutative geometry (Tron Omland, University of Oslo and Norwegian National Security Authority)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: We study metrics on completely positive maps, and in particular on quantum channels, induced by seminorms from noncommutative geometry. Using an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Choi–Jamiołkowski correspondence, we construct […]
