Abstract:

Heat equation in mathematical physics and Gaussian channel in information theory are equivalent as the fundamental solution to heat equation is given by the heat kernel (Gaussian distribution). Gaussian completely monotone conjecture (GCMC) states that the entropy of the solution to heat equation is completely monotone in time t. GCMC was originally introduced in 2013 by obtaining the sign of the third derivative. Related study may date back to de Bruijn, C. E. Shannon, H. P. McKean, E. Lieb, M. Costa, and C. Villani, etc.

In this talk, we will talk about the progress, history and future of GCMC, including its application to the Gaussian interference channel and its connection with the hodge theory method for log-concave sequence by J. Huh.

      Gaussian Differential Privacy

      AbstractPrivacy-preserving data analysis has been put on a firm mathematical foundation since the introduction of differential privacy (DP) in 2006. This privacy definition, however, has some well-known weaknesses: notably, it does not tightly handle composition. In this talk, we propose a relaxation of DP that we term "f-DP", which has a number of appealing properties and avoids some of the di...

      Optimization on Manifolds via Graph Gaussian Processes

      AbstractOptimization problems on smooth manifolds are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Oftentimes the manifolds are not known analytically and only available as an unstructured point cloud, so that gradient-based methods are not directly applicable. In this talk, we shall discuss a Bayesian optimization approach, which exploits a Gaussian process over the point cloud and an acquisition fu...
