Scientific, Conference
2017 SFU Symposium on Mathematics and Computation
A wide overview of mathematical techniques of interest in various big data problems. Organizers: Cedric Chauve, Mathematics - SFU Tamon Stephen, Mathematics - SFU
Scientific, Conference
7th Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics Conference (CanaDAM 2019)
The CanaDAM conference will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. Particular areas of interest are the following: graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets...

The 14th Intl. Conference on Finite Fields and their Applications (Fq14)
The Fq conference is a biannual conference that covers various topics in finite fields including but not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS - SFU Operations Research Seminar: Jong-Shi Pang
The phrase "non-problems" in the title refers to a collection of adjectives that start with the prefix "non". These include "non-convex", "non-differentiable", "non-traditional", "non-trivial", and "non-stochastic gradient" (as a counter to a topical...

SFU Theory Seminar: Vaishak Belle
We consider the problem of answering queries about formulas of first-order logic based on background knowledge partially represented explicitly as other formulas, and partially represented as examples independently drawn from a fixed probability...

SFU Theory Seminar: Eugenia Ternovska
A challenge in descriptive complexity is to identify logics with low complexity that simultaneously express both fundamental reachability properties and counting properties on unordered structures. In this talk, we introduce a family of logics that...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Boris Hanin
Neural networks are remarkable families of non-linear functions that form the backbone for state-of-the-art algorithms in tasks from computer vision (self-driving cars), natural language processing (Google Translate) and reinforcement learning...
Scientific, Seminar
PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Laura Thesing
This talk will focus on two topics in the foundations of neural networks: computability and false structures. In the first part I will recall briefly the concept of recursive functions and then discuss the gap between existence results, the...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Michael Friedlander
The aim of structured optimization is to assemble a solution, using a given set of atoms, to fit a model to data. Polarity, which generalizes the notion of orthogonality from linear sets to general convex sets, plays a special role in a simple and...
Scientific, Seminar
SFU Discrete Math Seminar: Joris van der Hoeven
In this first talk out of two, I will review various well-known algorithms for integer multiplication, such as schoolbook multiplication, Karatsuba multiplication, FFT multiplication, and the Schoenhage-Strassen algorithm. The talk will also be an...
