Colloquium

The weekly colloquium features a talk by an invited speaker. Topics vary and include all areas of mathematics.

Unless otherwise noted, the colloquium takes place on Tuesdays, 14:00 in room 614, 6’th floor of the Science and Education Building. For further details, please contact the colloquium coordinator, Dr. Adam Dor-On.

Colloquium: Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024. Speaker: Michael Chapman, (NYU). Title: “Subgroup Tests and the Aldous-Lyons Conjecture”.

Zoom recording Abstract:The Aldous-Lyons conjecture from probability theory states that every (unimodular) infinite graph can be (Benjamini-Schramm) approximated by finite graphs. This conjecture is an analogue of other influential conjectures in mathematics concerning how well certain infinite objects can be…

Colloquium: Tuesday Feb 13, 2024. Speaker: Nadav Dym (Technion). Title: “Approximation and Separation Results for Group Equivariant Machine Learning”.

In many machine learning tasks, the goal is to learn an unknown function which has some known group symmetries. Equivariant machine learning algorithms exploits this by devising architectures (=function spaces) which have these symmetries by construction. Examples include convolutional neural…
