Title: Much Ado About Big Data Speaker: N. R. Srinivasa Raghavan, Data Science and Big Data, Reliance Industries Ltd. Time and Date: 3:00 pm, Tuesday, 29 April 2014 Venue: Room 217, Mechanical Engineering Abstract: ----------- Data science and her big brother Big Data have been ringing the corporate board rooms for a while now and are touted by pundits and brokers alike, as the harbingers of innovation and profitability. This talk will try to do justice to the hubris as well as to the ground realities. Brief bio: -----------
Title: Social Algorithms and Internet Economics Speaker: Dr. Swaparva Nath, ISI Delhi Time and Date: 2:30 pm, Monday 21/04/2014 Venue: Room 217, Mechanical Engineering Abstract: Classical algorithm design assumes that all the parameters of the objective function is known. When that information is held privately by multiple agents, we arrive in the domain of mechanism design, where the
Title: Random geometric complexes
Speaker: Dr. Yogeshwaran, D.
EC Senior Researcher, EE, Technion
Time: 2:15pm, 27th, February 2014
Venue: Room 217, ME Building
Abstract: In this talk, we shall focus on the global behaviour of geometric simplicial complexes built
random point sets. Starting with definitions of simplicial complexes, I shall describe heuristics about the
vanishing and formation of Betti numbers (counts of holes in the simplicial complex). We shall later look
The 3rd winter school on Optimization and Control, organised by the Systems and Control Engineering & Industrial Engineering and Operations Research groups at IIT Bombay aims to expose graduate students to diverse aspects of the field of systems, control, optimization and certain current areas of research.
Umakanta Pattanayak, a research scholar, gave a talk on "Intersection Cuts for Convex Integer Programs", joint work with Prof. Vishnu Narayanan.
Title: On Network Design with Stochastic Arc Capacities. Speaker: Avinash Bhardwaj, UC Berkeley Time and date: 3:00 pm, Friday Jan 17 2014 Venue: Room 217, Mechanical Engineering Abstract: In this work, we present robust models to determine minimum cost network setup(s) while considering a fixed charge network flow problem with particular attention to the stochastic nature of the arc capacities. We study the associated submodular knapsack constraint set and derive strong valid
