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) are central tools in the application of machine learning to text, audio and image processing. Their success stems from the ability of these networks to […]
For a finite field F_q, a subset of F_q^N is a Kakeya set if it contains a line in every direction (i.e., a coset of every one-dimensional linear subspace). The finite field Kakeya problem is to determine the minimal size K(N,q) of a Kakeya set in F_q^N. This problem was posed by Wolff in 1999 as […]

Title: A Group-Theoretic Ax-Katz Theorem Speaker: Pete L. Clark, University of Georgia Abstract: The Chevalley-Warning Theorem is a result from 1935 asserting that the number of solutions to a low […]
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 […]
Though mirror symmetry requires much technical background, it gained traction in the mathematical community when physicists Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes discovered enumerative invariants counting the number of rational degree d curves […]
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Adam Yassine (Pomona College) Title: A Structural Approach to Classical Mechanics Abstract: A structural approach to the study […]
Title: Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change Speaker: Amelia Stone-Johnstone, Department of Mathematics, California State University, Fullerton Abstract: Active learning has been championed as a mechanism for […]
There is a rich connection between homogeneous dynamics and number theory. Often in such applications it is desirable for dynamical results to be effective (i.e. the rates of convergence for […]
