These are expanded notes for the mini-course given by the author at the 2022 ICTS workshop `Elliptic curves and the special values of $L$-functions'.
This talk is an overview of our recent investigations of supersymmetric and near conformal gauge theories. We have studied extensively $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Yang-Mills theory, most recently with the gauge group SU(3). In addition we have…
Semisupervised methods inevitably invoke some assumption that links the marginal distribution of the features to the regression function of the label. Most commonly, the cluster or manifold assumptions are used which imply that the…
In this paper the notion of a superconformal structure on a supermanifold is introduced in an effort to study the superparticle sigma-model. There are, in particular, two main aspects of the sigma-model which are investigated. The first is…
This is a lecture note produced for DS-GA 3001.003 "Special Topics in DS - Causal Inference in Machine Learning" at the Center for Data Science, New York University in Spring, 2024. This course was created to target master's and PhD level…
Supervised contrastive learning (SupCon) has proven to be a powerful alternative to the standard cross-entropy loss for classification of multi-class balanced datasets. However, it struggles to learn well-conditioned representations of…
This is the summary of 4 Lectures given at the XIX Canary islands winter school of Astrophysics ''The Cosmic Microwave Background, from Quantum Fluctuations to the present Universe''. Lectures were intended for master/beginning PhD students…
The lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the methods of CFT as applied to two-dimensional critical behaviour.
We study inductive bias in Transformers in the infinitely over-parameterized Gaussian process limit and argue transformers tend to be biased towards more permutation symmetric functions in sequence space. We show that the representation…
These are lecture notes for a simple minicourse approaching the satistical properties of a dynamical system by the study of the associated transfer operator (considered on a suitable functions or measures spaces). The following questions…
Semi-supervised learning is an important and active topic of research in pattern recognition. For classification using linear discriminant analysis specifically, several semi-supervised variants have been proposed. Using any one of these…
This Chapter of the J\"ulich Summer School 2022 provides for a first reading on diagrammatic extensions of dynamical-mean-field theory and their application to spin fluctuations, pseudogap physics and supercondcutivtiy. The contents is as…
These are lecture notes from the IMPANGA 2010 Summer school. They give an introduction to log canonical thresholds, covering some basic properties, examples, and some recent results and open questions.
These lecture notes are based on an introductory course given by the author at the summer school "Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry" at MSRI in June 2012. The emphasis throughout is on examples to illustrate the many different facets of…
This is the English version of my inaugural lecture at Coll\`ege de France in 2021, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxktplKMhKU. I reflect on the difficulty of multi-disciplinary research, which often hinges of unexpected…
This is a set of notes on automorphic forms and theta correspondence, based on my lectures at the 2022 Arizona Winter School.
This paper proposes an inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) framework to accelerate learning when the learner-teacher \textit{interaction} is \textit{limited} during training. Our setting is motivated by the realistic scenarios where a…
Self-training is an effective approach to semi-supervised learning. The key idea is to let the learner itself iteratively generate "pseudo-supervision" for unlabeled instances based on its current hypothesis. In combination with consistency…
This is an introductory machine-learning course specifically developed with STEM students in mind. Our goal is to provide the interested reader with the basics to employ machine learning in their own projects and to familiarize themself…
This is a writeup of lectures on "statistics" that have evolved from the initial version for the 2009 Hadron Collider Physics Summer School at CERN to versions for other venues and, most recently, for the African School of Fundamental…
