Talk Title: Semi-discrete Optimal Transport: Hardness, Regularization and Numerical Solution Speaker: Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh Meeting Link: https://gatech.zoom.us/j/99381428980 Abstract: Semi-discrete optimal transport problems, which evaluate the Wasserstein distance between a discrete and a generic (possibly non-discrete) probability measure, are believed to be computationally hard. Even though such problems are ubiquitous in statistics, machine learning and computer vision,…

In IEOR, we invent, analyze and learn tools and approaches for design, analysis, risk management, and decision-making in complex real-world systems like supply-chains, energy systems, healthcare systems, and financial systems. Join us from the comfort of your own home this Saturday, November 5 from 10am to 11am to hear from Berkeley IEOR Professors, along with…

The Master of Analytics (MAnalytics) program at UC Berkeley’s Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department will be present at the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education. The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet…

IEOR seminars occur on Mondays throughout the fall semester in room 3108 of Etcheverry Hall. Seminars feature leading-edge research from experts in industrial engineering and operations research who come from local, national, and international institutions. Seminars are open to students, faculty, and the public. Talk Title: Hierarchical Linear Programming at Scale Abstract: Since 2018, the…

Talk Title: Recent Developments on Optimization Algorithms for Convex and Nonconvex Optimization Speaker: Yinyu Ye Meeting Link: https://gatech.zoom.us/j/99381428980 Abstract: In this talk, I will describe a few recent progresses on solving convex and nonconvex optimization problems from my research group. They include an ADMM-based interior-point method for solving conic linear programs; a semidefinite programming approach to…

Speaker: Jennifer Chayes Location: Calvin Lab Auditorium and Zoom Abstract: Graphons and graphexes are limits of graphs that allow us to model and estimate properties of large-scale networks. Graphons are by now widely used in theory and applications; indeed, they are the topic of much of the Simons Institute’s semester program on Graph Limits and…

Speaker: Jessica Hullman (Northwestern University) Location: Calvin Lab Auditorium & Zoom Abstract: Research and development in computer science and statistics have produced increasingly sophisticated software interfaces for interactive visual data analysis as well as data communication. However, our understanding of how to design robust visualizations for data-driven inference remains limited by researchers' heavy reliance on small…
