February 16, 2026 -Explainability and Analysis of Variance (Zijun Gao, USC)
Explainability and Analysis of Variance (Zijun Gao, USC)
Abstract: Existing tools for explaining complex models and systems are associational rather than causal and do not provide mechanistic understanding. We propose a new notion called counterfactual explainability for causal […]

February 17, 2026 -Summer of Math Discovery: Two research projects on combinatorial polytopes (Andrés R. Vindas Meléndez, HMC)
Summer of Math Discovery: Two research projects on combinatorial polytopes (Andrés R. Vindas Meléndez, HMC)
This is a talk in two parts covering two projects that the speaker mentored over the summer of 2025. The first project deals with the study of polytopes that arise from the convex hulls of stack-sorting on particular permutations. The second project deals with the study of symmetric edge polytopes of a finite simple graph, […]

February 19, 2026 -Analysis Seminar: Choquet simplices of groups and C*-algebras (Itamar Vigdorovich, UCSD)
Analysis Seminar: Choquet simplices of groups and C*-algebras (Itamar Vigdorovich, UCSD)
Abstract: Let C be a compact convex set (in a locally convex topological vector space). By Choquet’s theorem, every point in C is the barycenter of a probability measure supported […]

February 20, 2026 -CCMS Colloquium: Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College)
CCMS Colloquium: Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College)
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College) Title: A new framework for studying transient reactivity in two-dimensional systems. Abstract: Even if a linear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has a globally attracting equilibrium, solutions of the ODEs may grow arbitrarily large in the short-term before returning to the equilibrium […]
