Recent progress on random graph matching problems
Part of the Oxford Discrete Maths and Probability Seminar, held via Zoom. Please see the seminar website for details.
Abstract
In this talk, I will review some recent progress on random graph matching problems, that is, to recover the vertex correspondence between a pair of correlated random graphs from the observation of two unlabelled graphs. In this talk, I will touch issues of information threshold, efficient algorithms as well as complexity theory. This is based on joint works with Hang Du, Shuyang Gong and Zhangsong Li.
Learning and Learning to Solve PDEs
Abstract
Deep learning continues to dominate machine learning and has been successful in computer vision, natural language processing, etc. Its impact has now expanded to many research areas in science and engineering. In this talk, I will mainly focus on some recent impacts of deep learning on computational mathematics. I will present our recent work on bridging deep neural networks with numerical differential equations, and how it may guide us in designing new models and algorithms for some scientific computing tasks. On the one hand, I will present some of our works on the design of interpretable data-driven models for system identification and model reduction. On the other hand, I will present our recent attempts at combining wisdom from numerical PDEs and machine learning to design data-driven solvers for PDEs and their applications in electromagnetic simulation.
