IASOrganizer Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
SeminarContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Agreement testing (aka direct product testing), checks if co...» Agreement testing (aka direct product testing), checks if consistent local information reveals global structure. Beyond its theoretical connections to probabilistic checkable proofs (PCPs), constructing agreement testers is a fundamental combinatorial question that has exciting applications in coding theory and hardness amplification.
In recent work we construct new derandomized `1%-regime' agreement tests. Derandomization of these tests is an important stepping stone towards derandomizing many PCPs, such as the parallel repetition PCP.
We will define agreement tests and give some background on their importance. Then we will see a surprising connection between agreement testing to a problem in algebraic topology. Finally, we will discuss how strong group theoretic tools solve this problem and lead to our construction.
Based on joint work with Irit Dinur and Alex Lubotzky.

The integration of vision into LLMs through VLMs has enabled these models to "see" and reason over visual content. However, these VLMs possess generic knowledge, lacking a personal touch. This raises an intriguing question: can we equip these models with the ability to comprehend and utilize user-specific concepts, tailored specifically to you? Can we ask the model questions about you, such as what you are wearing or what your friend is doing in the image? In this talk, we will explore how we can personalize VLMs to each user, offering more meaningful interactions that better reflect individual experiences and relationships.
Bio:
Yuval is a PhD student at Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Cohen-Or. His research centers around leveraging generative models to give users greater control and creative freedom when interacting with visual content. Currently interning at Snap Research under Kfir Aberman, Yuval is also exploring new approaches for personalizing generative models.

Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, The Yigal Alon Kinneret Limnological LaboratoryOrganizer Department of Earth and Planetary SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Located in a highly sensitive subtropical climate area and a...» Located in a highly sensitive subtropical climate area and a densely populated area, Lake Kinneret is poised to undergo both natural and human-induced transformations in the coming decades. The lake is thermally stratified throughout most of the year and mixes thoroughly each winter when the epilimnion (upper layer) water temperature reaches equilibrium with the hypolimnion (bottom layer) water temperature by surface cooling and turbulence. Both the stratified and the fully mixed periods has a significant role in the Kinneret’s ecological system.
Observation shows that air above the Lake is warming in a rate of 0.4oC/decade, while the epilimnion and hypolimnion are warming in a rate of 0.3oC/decade and 0.1oC/decade, respectively, for the last 50 years. Therefore, stratification strength and duration is anticipated to change and impact the lake’s ecosystem.
Additionally, the sequence of drought periods and the expected future rise in water demands from Lake Kinneret formed the basis for the government's decision to channel desalinated water, via the natural course of the Tzalmon Stream, to the lake to ensure its operational functionality at high levels.
Using a 3D hydrodynamic model forced by short and long-term forecasts the above scenarios are examined and analyzed. A simulation forced by regional atmospheric RCP4.5 climate change scenario spanning from 2010-2070 show continuous warming followed by abrupt cooling of the lake water around the year 2065. This result, presumably due to enhanced latent heat loss, suggest a restrain the dramatic anticipated change in the lake stratification.
