CM Seminar – “Forty-Four Esolangs: The Art of Esoteric Code”
Presented by: Daniel Temkin Description: Software art is widely accepted, but can programming languages themselves be art? The new book Forty-Four Esolangs makes this argument, collecting work by a single artist who poses code as prayer to the Greek gods, patterns of empty folders, or typed in tandem by two programmers, the rhythm and synchrony […]
AM Seminar: Sampling-Based Adaptive Rank Integrators for Multi-scale Kinetic Models.
Presenter: Professor Jingmei Qiu, University of Delaware Description: In this talk, we introduce a sampling-based semi-Lagrangian adaptive rank (SLAR) method, which leverages a cross approximation strategy—also known as CUR or pseudo-skeleton decomposition—to efficiently represent low-rank structures in kinetic solutions. The method dynamically adapts the rank of the solution while ensuring numerical stability through singular value truncation […]
Statistics Seminar: Distance-to-set regularization for inference under constraints
Presenter: Jason Xu, Associate Professor, Department of Biostatistics, UCLA Description: We consider a penalty framework based on regularizing the squared distance to set-based constraints for several core statistical tasks. These distance-to-set penalties provide a simple and flexible way to cast constrained optimization problems in more tractable unconstrained forms. We will see that they often avoid […]
