February 14, 2024 2:00 pmLarge language models exhibit many surprising “out-of-distribution” generalization abilities, yet also struggle to solve certain simple tasks like decimal addition. To clarify the scope of Transformers' out-of-distribution generalization, we isolate...

CMSA GENERAL RELATIVITY SEMINAR, CMSA EVENTS
February 13, 2024 11:00 amWe present the first result for the characteristic initial value problem of the compressible Euler equations in three space dimensions without any symmetry assumption. We allow presence of vorticity and...

February 9, 2024 12:00 pmModern data science often requires one to consider "nonlinear random matrices," a broad term for random-matrix models whose construction involves a nonlinear function applied entrywise. Such models are typically far...
