Event Description: Adam Bloniarz; Department of Statistics; Google, Boulder, CO Lasso adjustments of treatment effects in randomized experiments We provide a principled way for investigators to analyze randomized experiments when the number of covariates is large. Investigators often use linear multivariate regression to analyze randomized experiments instead of simply reporting...
Event Description: SEMINAR MEETS IN MATH 100 THIS WEEK Anastasios Kyrillidis, The Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG), University of Texas at Austin Finding low-rank solutions via the Burer-Monteiro approach, efficiently and provably A low rank matrix can be described as the outer product of two tall matrices, where the...
Event Description: Kamalika Chaudhuri; Department of Computer Science and Engineering; University of California, San Diego Challenges in Privacy-Preserving Data Analysis Machine learning algorithms increasingly work with sensitive information on individuals, and hence the problem of privacy-preserving data analysis -- how to design data analysis algorithms that operate on the...
Event Description: Bo Waggoner, Department of Computer Science, University of Pennsylvania What Dice Are These? You are handed a die with n sides and asked to describe some property of it. Is it fair or biased? If biased, what is its entropy? Can you write down its distribution over sides,...
Event Description: Jacob Abernethy; Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor On the equivalence of simulated annealing and interior point path following for optimization A well-studied deterministic algorithmic technique for convex optimization is the class of so-called "interior point methods" of Nesterov and Nemirovski, which...
