Today Stephen talked about ongoing research: how the interplay between numerical linear algebra, statistical inference, and information theory can be exploited to yield better algorithms for classic problems in scientific computing.
The handout can be found here and the slides can be found here.

Today I (Alvin) talked about some past research I’ve done, where we reduced a counting problem in origami into a graph coloring problem (I’ll be bringing some hands-on paper to play around with 👀).
