Neil Chada ***CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 OUTBREAK*** On optimal annealing schedules for Langevin algorithms (Joint with work Huy Chau)
***This seminar has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak.*** Abstract: Simulated annealing is a popular optimization method designed to find global minimizers through perturbing dynamics with Gaussian noise. The continuous analogue of it is a diffusion process arising from a Langevin stochastic differential equation. In this work we co..

David Schoch - Mathematical foundations of Network Centrality
(Zochonis Lecture Theatre D) Join us for this seminar by David Schoch (Manchester) as part of the Mathematics in the Life Sciences Series. Abstract: In the social sciences, networks are used to represent relationships between social actors, be they individuals or aggregates. The structural importance of these actors is assessed in terms of ce..
Louise Wright - Maths, modelling and measurement: data science at the National Physical Laboratory
Abstract: The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the UK’s National Measurement Institute. We are responsible for realising and disseminating the seven SI base units, ensuring that measurements made in the UK are comparable to measurements the world over. This work underpins not only UK trade and quality of life, but also ensures that fund..
