DEI Talks | “Accelerating Implicit Mechanics” by Robert F. Lucas
“Historically, the run time of implicit mechanics has been dominated by the time required to solve a large sparse linear system. The default solver is a multifrontal sparse matrix factorization, which will reliably solve ill conditioned, indefinite problems. The multifrontal method turns a sparse matrix factorization into a directed acyclic graph of smaller, dense “frontal”…

DEI Talks | The Limitations of Data, Machine Learning & Us by Prof. Ricardo Baeza-Yates
“Machine learning (ML), particularly deep learning, is being used everywhere. However, not always is used well, ethically and scientifically. In this talk we first do a deep dive in the limitations of supervised ML and data, its key component. We cover small data, datification, bias, predictive optimization issues, evaluating success instead of harm, and pseudoscience,…
