• #### Load-Balanced Bonded Force Calculations on Anton ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-03-15)
Spiral (www.spiral.net) is a program and hardware design generation system for linear transforms such as the discrete Fourier transform, discrete cosine transforms, filters, and others. We are currently extending Spiral ...
• #### Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-10-12)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a powerful, indispensable, and ubiquitously used methodology in neuroimaging. In particularly, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) ...
• #### Metanumerical computing for partial differential equations: the Sundance project ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-10-29)
Metanumerical computing deals with computer programs that use abstract mathematical structure to manipulate, generate, and/or optimize compute-intensive numerical codes. This idea has gained popularity over the last decade ...
• #### Mining Billion-Node Graphs: Patterns, Generators, and Tools ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04-08)
What do graphs look like? How do they evolve over time? How to handle a graph with a billion nodes? We present a comprehensive list of static and temporal laws, and some recent observations on real graphs (like, e.g., ...
• #### Modeling Rich Structured Data via Kernel Distribution Embeddings ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-03-25)
Real world applications often produce a large volume of highly uncertain and complex data. Many of them have rich microscopic structures where each variable can take values on manifolds (e.g., camera rotations), combinatorial ...
• #### Multi-Scale Protein Modeling and Cellular Automata : Two Opportunities for Collaboration ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-09-18)
This talk will discuss two M&S research directions being pursued by the speaker in the GWW School of Mechanical Engineering. Both approaches are explicit and time-marching in nature, and should therefore be amenable to ...
• #### Multicore-oblivious Algorithms ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-03-28)
Multicores represent a paradigm shift in general-purpose computing away from the von Neumann model to a collection of cores on a chip communicating through a cache hierarchy under a shared memory. Designing efficient ...
• #### New Approaches to Protein Functional Inference and Ligand Screening: Application to the Human Kinome ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-01-14)
• #### Novel Applications of Graph Embedding Techniques ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-10-01)
Force-directed graph embedding algorithms, like the Fruchterman-Reingold method, are typically used to generate aesthetically pleasing graph layouts. At a fundamental level, these algorithms are based on manipulating the ...
• #### Open challenges in shape and animation processing ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-08-28)
Jarek Rossignac (IC, http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/~jarek/) will present an overview of his recent research activities (with collaborators and students) and open challenges in shape and animation processing. These include: - ...
• #### Optimization for Machine Learning: SMO-MKL and Smoothing Strategies ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04-15)
Our objective is to train $p$-norm Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) and, more generally, linear MKL regularised by the Bregman divergence, using the Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) algorithm. The SMO algorithm is simple, ...
• #### PHAST: Hardware-Accelerated Shortest Path Trees ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-02-25)
We present a novel algorithm to solve the nonnegative single-source shortest path problem on road networks and other graphs with low highway dimension. After a quick preprocessing phase, we can compute all distances from ...
• #### Sequences of Problems, Matrices, and Solutions ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-11-12)
In a wide range of applications, we deal with long sequences of slowly changing matrices or large collections of related matrices and corresponding linear algebra problems. Such applications range from the optimal design ...
• #### Spatial Stochastic Simulation of Polarization in Yeast Mating ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04-19)
In microscopic systems formed by living cells, the small numbers of some reactant molecules can result in dynamical behavior that is discrete and stochastic rather than continuous and deterministic. Spatio-temporal gradients ...
• #### Stochastic Gradient Descent with Only One Projection ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-09-28)
Although many variants of stochastic gradient descent have been proposed for large-scale convex optimization, most of them require projecting the solution at {\it each} iteration to ensure that the obtained solution stays ...
• #### Virus Quasispecies Assembly using Network Flows ﻿

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-09-25)
Understanding how the genomes of viruses mutate and evolve within infected individuals is critically important in epidemiology. In this talk I focus on optimization problems in sequence assembly for viruses based on 454 ...
