AARMS Scientific Machine Learning Seminar: Alison Malcom (Memorial University)
WebEx seminarUsing Normalizing Flows for Seismic Data Interpolation Normalizing Flows are a type of neural network that allow us to map one probability distribution into another. The advantage of such a technique is that they allow us to relate a simple

AARMS Scientific Machine Learning Seminar: Stijn De Baerdemacker (UNB)
Deep Learning Chemistry: extracting chemical features from Graph Convolutional Neural Networks The task of quantum chemistry is to compute chemical properties of molecular compounds from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. This poses a tremendous challenge as the most accurate

AARMS Scientific Machine Learning Seminar: Simone Brugiapaglia (Concordia University)
WebEx seminarThe curse of dimensionality and the blessings of sparsity and Monte Carlo sampling: From polynomial approximation to deep learning in high dimensions In data science and scientific computing, the approximation of high-dimensional functions from pointwise samples is a ubiquitous task,

Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar: Pjotr Buys (University of Amdsterdam)
Online via ZoomAbout a year ago Jason Brown spoke in our seminar (of the university of Amsterdam) about the two-terminal reliability polynomial and left us with some questions about the closure of the complex zeros of all such polynomials (the zero-locus). In

Dalhousie-AARMS AAMP Seminar: Justin Tzou (Macquarie U.)
Zoom seminarTitle: Modeling and analysis of localized vegetation patterns on curved topography Abstract: We propose a two-component reaction-advection-diffusion model for vegetation density and soil water concentration on a curved terrain which accounts for downhill flow of soil water, spatially dependent effective evaporation of
-
Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar: Theodore Kolokolnikov (Dalhousie)
Online via ZoomWe study the algebraic connectivity for several classes of random semi-regular graphs. For large random semi-regular bipartite graphs, we explicitly compute both their algebraic connectivity and as well as the full spectrum distribution. For an integer d in , we

Atlantic Canada Actuarial Student Conference
University of Prince Edward Island Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, CanadaWe invite all Actuarial Science students from across the Atlantic region to join us for the 2022 Atlantic Canada Actuarial Student Conference! Hosted in beautiful downtown Charlottetown, this year’s event will provide students with an opportunity to meet others from

Dalhousie-AARMS AAMP Seminar: Manuela Girotti (Saint Mary’s Uni.)
Zoom seminarTitle: Asymptotic Analysis of the Interaction Between a Soliton and a Regular Gas of Solitons (a.k.a. Gulliver and the Lilliputians) Abstract: N. Zabusky coined the word "soliton" in 1965 to describe a curious feature he and M. Kruskal observed in

AARMS Scientific Machine Learning Seminar: Scott MacLachlan (Memorial)
WebEx seminarOptimization and Learning in the Design of Preconditioners Computer simulation algorithms are a major tool in many areas of science and industry, particularly in areas where the behaviour of fluids or complex materials governs the physical processes of interest. A

AARMS Scientific Machine Learning Seminar: Geoffrey McGregor (University of Northern British Columbia)
WebEx seminarConservative Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods enable us to extract meaningful statistics from complex distributions which frequently appear in parameter estimation, Bayesian statistics, statistical mechanics and machine learning. Similar to how flipping a coin, or rolling a
