AI4OPT Seminar Series: Yinyu Ye, Stanford University
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…
Richard M. Karp Distinguished Lecture: Graphons and Graphexes as Models of Large Sparse Networks
Calvin Lab Auditorium and Zoom University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California, United StatesSpeaker: 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…
Law & Society Fellow Talk: Using Theories of Decision-Making Under Uncertainty to Improve Data Visualization
Calvin Lab Auditorium and Zoom University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California, United StatesSpeaker: 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…
