John von Neumann Gastprofessur


John von Neumann
Die John von Neumann Gastprofessur erlaubt herausragenden Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt, ein Semester am TUM Zentrum für Mathematik zu forschen. Sponsor ist das Bayerische Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst. Die Preisträger halten eine "John von Neumann Gastvorlesung", eine Einführung in ihr Forschungsgebiet für fortgeschrittene Studenten.

Die Gastprofessur ist nach John von Neumann benannt, einem der führenden Mathematiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit seinen mathematischen Ideen leistete von Neumann wegweisende Beiträge zu vielen verschiedenen Gebieten wie der Quantenmechanik, Spieltheorie, Fluiddynamik und dem wissenschaftlichen Rechnen. Insbesondere stellte er 1932 mit seinem bekannten Buch die damals neue Quantenmechanik auf mathematisch rigorosen Boden, und führte mit seinem Design des MANIAC-Rechners die bahnbrechenden Ideen des flexiblen Arbeitsspeichers und des Parallelrechnens ein.

Im Jahr 1953 wurde ihm die Ehrendoktorwürde der Technischen Hochschule München verliehen.

John von Neumann Vorlesung: Algebraic and Geometric Techniques of Optimization

Abstrakt der Vorlesung

Optimization is a vibrant growing area of Applied Mathematics. Its many successful applications depend on efficient algorithms and this has pushed the development of theory and software. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest to use 'non-standard' techniques to estimate the complexity of computation and to guide algorithm design. New interactions with fields like algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory, combinatorial topology, algebraic combinatorics, and convex analysis have contributed non-trivially to the foundations of computational optimization. This course will be an introduction to the new techniques used in Optimization that have foundation in algebra (number theory, commutative algebra, real algebraic geometry, representation theory) and geometry (convex and differential geometry, combinatorial topology, algebraic topology, etc).

John von Neumann Vorlesung: Regularized regression models for high-dimensional data

Abstrakt zur VorlesungClose

Abstrakt der Vorlesung

This course is intended to provide a systematic introduction to a state- of-the-art toolbox for the regression analysis of high-dimensional data. It begins with the conventional ideas for low dimensional data, including penalized statistical procedures (e.g. ridge regression, splines smoothing and mixed-effects models), shrinkage estimation (e.g. Steins estimation and empirical Bayes), and variable selection criteria (e.g. Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC)). Then the course evolves to several important topics of regression models for high-dimensional data. Numeric implementation and illustration are emphasized throughout the lectures and R software will be extensively used in the course. Topics include: 1. Introduction to penalized statistical procedure and shrinkage estimation 2. Quadratic optimization 3. Model selection based on L0 penalty, AIC, BIC and extended BIC (EBIC) 4. Regression with L2 penalty: Ridge regression, splines smoothing, mixed-effects model 5. Shrinkage estimation: Steins method, and empirical Bayes 6. Regularized regression model with L1 penalty: LASSO, SCAD and others penalties 7. Extensions: Bridge regression, Elastic Net penalty, group LASSO 8. High-dimensional classification: HTC 9. Regularized regression analysis of longitudinal data: SOFARE and other methods This course will be based on my personal lecture notes with supplementary articles and R software packages.
