Attention graduate students (and advisors)! Apply now for the GRADUATE STUDENT MATHEMATICAL MODELING CAMP IMA mathsci.udel.edu/events/confere…

Slides and codes for my short course on deep generative modeling tomorrow in the Spring School on Data and Models Univ South Carolina are now available here: mathcs.emory.edu/~lruthot/works… This is the first iteration of the course, so I'm happy for any feedback.

I just posted my slides for tomorrow's talk in @IMAmath's Data Science Seminar. Thanks to the organizers for inviting me. I'm looking forward to presenting on recent work involving machine learning and optimal transport mathcs.emory.edu/~lruthot/slide…

Interested in big tensor data (speech, images, videos)? Check out this paper on a rigorous mathematical framework to compress and represent your data. Congrats to my postdoc Elizabeth Newman and her collaborators on this work and its publication in PNAS pnas.org/content/118/28…

Congratulations to my REU/RET students Elle Buser, Emma Hart, and Ben Huenemann on finishing an exciting paper! Preprint available here arxiv.org/abs/2109.14116. Thanks also to Justin Smith for his help and Emory Mathematics and the U.S. National Science Foundation for their support!

Training deep neural networks can be challenging! Think learning rates, regularization, other hyperparameters... In her new paper, Emory Mathematics postdoc Liz Newman splits off the weights of the last layer to improve training: arxiv.org/abs/2109.14002

It was a lot of fun to give an interactive tag-team talk with my postdoc Liz Newman Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing today. We presented our joint work on exploiting deep net structure to improve training. A recording of this live experiment is available at simons.berkeley.edu/talks/how-trai…

Congrats to Emory Mathematics REU students Katy Keegan, Tanvi Vishwanath, and Yihua Xu and mentors Liz Newman and Vida John on their paper arxiv.org/pdf/2111.00587… Their paper shows that treating fMRI data as tensors is more effective for classification than good old matrix-based methods

If you're not already convinced that almost anything involves the SVD, check out this SIAM article. Emory Mathematics undergrad Jennifer Zheng and our REU/RET student Katie Keegan explain how the SVD can help protect copyright online! sinews.siam.org/Details-Page/a…

The call for participation in SIAM's 2nd conference on Mathematics and Data Science #SIAMMDS22 is out! I'm honored and excited to co-chair this meeting. Mark your calendars for Sept 26-30,2022! siam.org/conferences/cm…

The March 1 application deadline for our REU/RET site on Computational Mathematics for Data Science is approaching. If you are (or know) an undergraduate student or in-service teacher and want to join, find more information here: math.emory.edu/site/cmds-reur…

SIAM Conference on Mathematics of Data Science (MDS22) minisymposium deadline has been extended to Monday, March 28. Submit now! siam.org/conferences/CM… #SIAMMDS22

SIAM MDS22 is going hybrid: Speakers can choose to give their talks in-person or online. It is also not too late to propose mini-symposia, posters, contributed talks. See siam.org/conferences/CM…

Headed to #SIAMUQ22 in downtown Atlanta. So great to be back at a conference in person. Looking forward to meeting many old and new friends and some great talks. I’ll speak in MS49 in about 90 minutes

We're hiring! If you (or anyone you know) wants to join a vibrant (and really nice) research community in math and data science, please consider applying at Emory Mathematics. More details at math.emory.edu/about/faculty-…

Excited by giving two tutorials on the Julia Language at #SIAMMDS22: * An introduction to Julia: meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_progr… * Data science with Julia l: meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_progr…

En route to #SIAMMDS22 in San Diego. Looking forward to a fantastic week full of exciting talks and people. Thanks to the SIAM staff for all their help putting the conference together!

Congratulations to Paz Fink Shustin for being selected for a best poster award at #SIAMMDS22

Congratulations to Paz and the other awardees: Abdoulaye Koroko, Sufia Khatoon, Rebekah White, Neophytos Charalambides, and Adrian De La Rocha Galan!

Proud of my group for giving great talks at #SIAMMDS22
