Speaker: Iris Yoon, Professor of Mathematics, Wesleyan University Title: How Topology Reveals Structure in Neuroscience Data Abstract: We live in an exciting time where new data is generated at an exponential rate. […]
No seminar this week due to Spring break!
Title: Learning on manifolds without manifold learning Abstract: Function approximation based on data drawn randomly from an unknown distribution is an important problem in machine learning. The manifold hypothesis assumes […]
I will present an integral — requiring no character twists — converse theorem for recognizing when is a Dirichlet series with algebraic integer coefficients equal to the L-function of a modular form. This […]
