Mid Atlantic Numerical Analysis Day 2017
A conference on numerical analysis and scientific computing for graduate students and postdocs from the Mid-Atlantic region.
Keynote Speaker
Ilse Ipsen,
Randomized Algorithms for Matrix Computations |  |
Abstract
The emergence of massive data sets, over the past fifteen or so years, has lead to the development of Randomized Numerical Linear Algebra. Fast and accurate randomized matrix algorithms are being designed for applications like machine learning, population genomics, astronomy, nuclear engineering, and optimal experimental design.
We give a flavour of randomized algorithms for the solution of least squares/regression problems and, if time permits, for the computation of logdeterminants. Along the way we illustrate important concepts from numerical analysis (conditioning and pre-conditioning) and statistics (sampling and leverage scores).
The Conference
This one-day meeting will start at 10am to allow same-day travel.
It will be held in Room 617 Wachman Hall, Temple University, 1805 North Broad street, just north of Montgomery Avenue.
It will be an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their research, and to meet other researchers.
There will be contributed talks and a poster session.
There will be no registration fee. In order to guarantee appropriate space in the lecture rooms, we ask every participant to please register in advance, even if you are not planning to give a talk.
Lunch will be provided.
