From Word Prediction to Complex Skills: Data Flywheels for Mathematical Reasoning
CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10 20 Garden Street, CambridgeThis talk examines how large language models (LLMs) evolve from simple word prediction to complex skills, with a focus on mathematical problem solving. A major driver of AI products today […]
Spin structures, quadratic maps, and the missing class group heuristic
Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, CambridgeI will report on joint work in progress with Akshay Venkatesh where we propose an arithmetic analogue of the association, in topology, of quadratic enhancements to spin structures on closed […]

Rotation-invariant web bases from hourglass plabic graphs and symmetrized six-vertex configurations
Science Center 232Many combinatorial objects with strikingly good enumerative formulae also have remarkable dynamical behavior and underlying algebraic structure. In this talk, we consider the promotion action on certain rectangular tableaux and […]
The complexity of collision-free motion planning on graphs
Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, CambridgeThe problem of multiple occupancy in a space is captured by the topology of its configuration spaces. The problem of navigation within a space is tied to its topological complexity, […]
