Spectral Transformers

Machine Learning and Statistics Seminar
Elad Hazan
Princeton

We'll discuss a new technique for sequence modeling for prediction tasks with long range dependencies and fast inference/generation. At the heart of the method is a new formulation for state space model

Central simple representations and superelliptic jacobians

Special Guest Seminar
Yuri Zarkhin
Pennsylvania State University

Let p be an odd prime and f(x)  a polynomial of degree at least 5 with complex coefficients and without repeated roots. Suppose that all the coefficients of f(x) lie in a subfield K suc

Reading Alan Turing

Foundations of Computer Science Seminar
Avi Wigderson
IAS

I will discuss some well-known and less-known papers of Turing, exemplify the scope of deep, prescient ideas he put forth, and mention follow-up work on these by the Theoretical CS community.

Exact Phase Transitions for Sparse PCA in High Dimensions

Machine Learning and Statistics Seminar
Michael Feldman
WIS

Sparse principal component analysis (PCA) is a powerful method for low-rank and sparse signal recovery, applicable to covariance estimation, dimension reduction, and feature selection. In this work, w

Subgroup Tests and the Aldous--Lyons conjecture

Foundations of Computer Science Seminar
Michael Chapman
NYU

A common theme in mathematics is that limits of finite objects are well behaved. This allows one to prove many theorems about finitely approximable objects, while leaving the general case op
