    An Unsupervised Framework for Comparing Graph Embeddings The goal of many machine learning applications is to make predictions or discover new patterns using graph-structured data as feature information. In order to extract useful structural information from graphs, one might want

    Title:  Energy Minimizing Surface Tension Configurations for Microparticles Abstract: An important area of microfluidics is the creation and manipulation of small droplets. This is commonly done using microchannels or electrowetting. Recently a new method is proposed to create templated droplets using

    Conditions for perfect matchings in random sparse bipartite graphs Given a uniformly random sparse matrix A, with specified number of nonzero entries in columns and rows, we determine when A has full row rank over a finite field. As a

    Title: Eigenfunction restriction estimates on curves with nonvanishing geodesic curvatures Abstract: Studying eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact Riemannian manifolds (without boundary) is one of the interesting topics in Harmonic Analysis. One way to study them is to consider the

    Title: Equispaced Fourier representations for efficient Gaussian process regression from a billion data pointsAbstract: Gaussian process regression is widely used in geostatistics, time-series analysis, and machine learning. It infers an unknown continuous function in a principled fashion from noisy measurements at

    Colourings, Polynomials and Roots A lot has happened since graph colourings first arose as an applied problem in cartography – do four colours always suffice to distinguish countries when colouring a map? Along the way to the proof, the related

    Progress towards the Burning Number Conjecture The burning number b(G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that G can be covered by k balls of radii respectively 0,...,k-1, and was introduced independently by Brandenburg and Scott at Intel as a transmission problem on processors and Bonato, Janssen

  • Minicourse: Group Graded Azumaya Algebras and Generic Constructions

    Memorial University (St. John's Campus) St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

    Taught by Professor Eli Aljadeff, Technion University, Israel The main theme of this mini-course is gradings by finite groups on finite-dimensional algebras. Similar to the classical situation of ungraded algebras, we will be interested in finite-dimensional graded simple algebras and finite-dimensional
