Representation learning, and in particular graph representation, is one of the most important cross-disciplinary machine learning techniques to have emerged in the last five years with significant impact in a host of domain applications including computer science (natural language processing, … Read more

Large Deviations for Small Noise Diffusions Over Long Time Abstract: We study two problems. First, we consider the large deviation behavior of empirical measures of certain diffusion processes as, simultaneously, the time horizon becomes large and noise becomes vanishingly small. … Read more
Semidefinite programs (SDPs) are some of the most popular and widespread optimization problems to emerge in the last thirty years. A curious pathology of SDPs is illustrated by a famous example of Khachiyan: feasible solutions of SDPs may need exponential space to … Read more
Factoring Polynomials via the Splitting Circle Method Abstract: Finding the roots of a polynomial is an ill-conditioned problem that requires numerical methods in the general case. Unfortunately, most existing numerical methods do not guarantee convergence when working in finite precision. … Read more
