Theory Seminar

Adapted lecture from the course “Program Design with Data Structures and Algorithms" at Brown University.

Mingda Qiao (MIT) will be giving a talk on the Truthfulness of Calibration Measures at the theory seminar.

Kate Donahue (MIT) is visiting UMass on Thursday, Oct. 24 to give a talk on "Analyzing Federated Learning via a Game Theoretic Lens" at the Theory Seminar.

CICS graduate Colette Basiliere will give a presentation introducing Public Interest Technology and the challenges and opportunities facing this new field.

The dissertation focuses on employing a neural generative approach for data generation in weak supervision settings, incorporating effective techniques.

In this talk, we'll walk through a simple proof of Férmat's Little Theorem that exposes one of the basic connections between number theory and algebra.

Shivam Nadimpalli will be giving a talk virtually at the theory seminar this week.

This talk will be self-contained and introduce the bits of game theory, online learning, and economics needed for understanding it.

Join us to learn about the regulatory space for AgeTech devices and software, and to hear best practices for preparing a regulatory submission.

The dissertation focuses on employing a neural generative approach for data generation in weak supervision settings, incorporating effective techniques.

Wang will present his research on building language models that go beyond pretraining while improving their generalization through a data-centric perspective.

Join Jane Lange, a fourth year PhD student at MIT visiting UMass Amherst, for a talk on Lifting Uniform Learners via Distributional Decomposition.
