• A BKM-type criterion for the 3D incompressible Euler equations (Mustafa Aydin, USC)

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

    Abstract: The three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations describe the motion of an ideal fluid, yet the mechanisms that govern the possible loss of regularity of smooth solutions remain only partially understood. […]

  • Explainability and Analysis of Variance (Zijun Gao, USC)

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

    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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • GEMS April 4th Session

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

    This GEMS session will be facilitated by Evan Rosenman from Claremont McKenna College Title: Fair Votes? The Mathematics of Elections and Redistricting Abstract: How do we know if an election is fair? In this interactive session, we’ll explore how math helps us answer that question. Students will experiment with drawing voting districts to see how drawing different […]

  • Extremal Eigenvalues of Weighted Steklov Problems (Chiu-Yen Kao, CMC)

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

    Abstract: We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function ρ on a bounded Lipschitz domain. We investigate the minimization and maximization of a Steklov […]

  • The Secret Life of Turbulent Fluids (Vincent Martinez, Caltech)

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

    Abstract: Turbulence influences our lives in a multitude of ways, ranging from the mundane (when we stir milk into our coffee) to the spectacular (the formation of galaxies). It is […]

  • An Exact Algorithm for the Unanimous Vote Problem (Feyza Duman Keles, NYU)

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

    Abstract: Consider n independent, biased coins, each with a known probability of heads. Presented with an ordering of these coins, flip (i.e., toss) each coin once, in that order, until […]
