In this talk we will explore deep neural networks from a dynamical systems point of view. We will show that the learning problem can be cast as a path planning problem with PDE constraint. This opens the door to conventional Computational techniques...

Math Outreach: Many Needs, Many Ways I will present a wide range of math educational outreach activities involving elementary, middle and secondary level students. By expecting children to succeed, introducing new and exciting ways to teach...

Data analytics is increasingly becoming an important part of decision making process in applications ranging from management, technology, policy analysis and sports. Key decisions that have been traditionally made by humans are now partly made or at...

Canadian Mathematics Institutions have been invited to send some Canadian graduate students to attend an Industrial Problem Solving Workshop in Paris, this September. PARIS WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: A group of French mathematicians is organizing a...

The two-week workshop will include both theoretical and practical components, featuring lectures on the theory of algorithms used in data science and the freeware implementation of these methods. In the first week, data sets from industry and...

The Graduate Math Modelling in Industry Workshop is designed to provided graduate students in the mathematical sciences, and qualified advanced undergraduates, with training and first-hand experience in industrial research. This one week event in...
