Math and Data Seminar: Metric representations: Algorithms and Geometry

Speaker: Anna Gilbert

Location: 60 Fifth Avenue, Room 150

Date: Thursday, November 3, 2022

Given a set of distances amongst points, determining what metric representation is most “consistent” with the input distances or the metric that best captures the relevant geometric features of the data is a key step in many machine learning algorithms. In this talk, we discuss a number of variants of this problem, from convex optimization problems with metric constraints to sparse metric repair.
