We define and study the structure of SUSY Lie conformal and vertex algebras. This leads to effective rules for computations with superfields.
These are lecture notes based on the first part of a course on 'Mathematical Data Science', which I taught to final year BSc students in the UK in 2019-2020. Topics include: concentration of measure in high dimensions; Gaussian random…
A modest aim of this pedagogical presentation is to analyze, critically, certain fundamental physical concepts to illustrate the physical principles behind the special theory of relativity and, hence, to also illustrate the limitations of…
Detailed feedback on courses and lecture content is essential for their improvement and also serves as a tool for reflection. However, feedback methods are often only used sporadically, especially in mass courses, because collecting and…
Here, we present a simple, low-cost format for structured speaking and listening on historical, cultural, and equity-related topics within a physics institute. In this article, we describe how we run hour-long Learning Together sessions,…
We establish a connection between the superconformal index of $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM and the elliptic Ruijsenaars-Schneider integrable system. The index admits an expression in terms of elliptic Macdonald polynomials, which leads to a…
Unlike the typical classification setting where each instance is associated with a single class, in multi-label learning each instance is associated with multiple classes simultaneously. Therefore the learning task in this setting is to…
Recently, multiple applications of machine learning have been introduced. They include various possibilities arising when image analysis methods are applied to, broadly understood, video streams. In this context, a novel tool, developed for…
This is a brief pedagogical introduction to the theory of large deviations. It appeared in the ICTS Newsletter 2017 (Volume 3, Issue 2), goo.gl/pZWA6X.
This manuscript provides a more detailed treatment of the material from my lecture series at the 2022 Arizona Winter School on Automorphic Forms Beyond $GL_2$. The main focus of this manuscript is automorphic forms on unitary groups, with a…
Doubly robust learning offers a robust framework for causal inference from observational data by integrating propensity score and outcome modeling. Despite its theoretical appeal, practical adoption remains limited due to perceived…
Welcome to WeaSuL 2021, the First Workshop on Weakly Supervised Learning, co-located with ICLR 2021. In this workshop, we want to advance theory, methods and tools for allowing experts to express prior coded knowledge for automatic data…
Confidence intervals provide a way to determine plausible values for a population parameter. They are omnipresent in research articles involving statistical analyses. Appropriately, a key statistical literacy learning objective is the…
Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) enables an agent to learn complex behavior by observing demonstrations from a (near-)optimal policy. The typical assumption is that the learner's goal is to match the teacher's demonstrated behavior. In…
These are the notes for a two-week mini-course given at a winter school in January 2014 as part of the thematic semester New Directions in Lie Theory at the Centre de Recherches Math\'ematiques in Montr\'eal. The goal of the course was to…
We give conditions to prove the existence of an Extremal Index for general stationary stochastic processes by detecting the presence of one or more underlying periodic phenomena. This theory, besides giving general useful tools to identify…
These lecture notes concern the basics of the theory of process behaviour. First the concept of a (labelled) transition system receives ample treatment and then the following issues concerning process behaviour are elaborated in the setting…
In this chapter we present an overview of the main ideas and methods in the fractional integration and cointegration literature. We do not attempt to give a complete survey of this enormous literature, but rather a more introductory…
This book is about conformal prediction and related inferential techniques that build on permutation tests and exchangeability. These techniques are useful in a diverse array of tasks, including hypothesis testing and providing uncertainty…
Humans are capable of learning new concepts from only a few (labeled) exemplars, incrementally and continually. This happens within the context that we can differentiate among the exemplars, and between the exemplars and large amounts of…
