Topic: Fundamental Limits of Distributed Estimation and Multiuser Information-Theoretic Games
Abstract: The first part of the talk focuses on fundamental limits of distributed estimation, motivated by a toy model for sensor networks. In distributed estimation, it is of interest to relate the minimax risks of estimating a parameter for users who have
Title: Bivariate exponential distribution: Properties, Estimation and Applications.
Speaker: Prof Alladi Subramanyam, Mathematics, IITB
Time: 4pm, 20/8/10
Venue: 217, Mech Engg. Building
Abstract: The Pickands bivariate exponential distribution is first defined. The distribution is characterised by a function, say A(\cdot),
called the dependence function (along with the marginal means). One may specify a parametric model for A or take A itself as a parameter.
Title: How can data mining help to understand what makes an optimization problem hard, which algorithm will perform best, and why?
Speaker: Prof Kate Smith-Miles, School of Mathematical Sciences, Monash University, Australia
Date and venue: Tuesday, 17 August, 4 p.m., Room 205, Mechanical Engineering Department
Abstract:
Prof Vivek Borkar from TIFR gave a talk on 28th June 2010.
