### Seminar 217, Risk Management: Change-point detection for stochastic processes

Seminar | September 19 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m. | 639 Evans Hall

Speaker: Sveinn Olafsson, Visiting Assistant Professor, UC Santa Barbara

Since the work of Page in the 1950s, the problem of detecting an abrupt change in the distribution of stochastic processes has received a great deal of attention. There are two main formulations of such problems: A Bayesian approach where the change-point is assumed to be random, and a min-max approach under which the change-point is assumed to be fixed but unknown. In both cases, a deep...   More >

Dr. Margaret Chu-Moyer, Executive Director, Research, Amgen

College of Chemistry

Recent advances in human genetics have allowed deeper insight into disease biology. Coupling of this to the development of molecules to further understand relevant pharmacology and to identify potential therapeutics has never been more important or more challenging. This lecture will demonstrate the scientific interplay that is necessary to discover human medicines using a recent multi-modality...   More >

### 3-Manifold Seminar: Invariants of spatial graphs

Seminar | September 19 | 2:10-3:30 p.m. | 740 Evans Hall

Kyle Miller, UC Berkeley

Department of Mathematics

Knot theory can be generalized to spatial graphs: embeddings of framed topological graphs in $S^3$ up to isotopy. Certain categories support graphical notations for homomorphisms (for instance, elements of $S_n$ as $n$ immersed arcs in the plane), and by reinterpreting a projection of a spatial graph graphically, we may obtain an algebraic invariant.

We will discuss Penrose's graphical tensor...   More >
