Huffman Codes: An Information Theory Perspective
Huffman Codes are one of the most important discoveries in the field of data compression. When you first see them, they almost feel obvious in hindsight, mainly due to how simple and elegant the algorithm ends up being. But there's an underlying story of how they were discovered by Huffman

David McAllester - Dependent Type Theory from the Perspective of Mathematics, Physics, and (...)
Dependent type theory imposes a type system on Zemelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZFC). From a mathematics and physics perspective dependent type theory naturally generalizes the Bourbaki notion of structure and provides a universal notion of isomorphism and symmetry. This comes with a universal

Ximena Fernández 7/20/22: Morse theory for group presentations and the persistent fundamental group
Discrete Morse theory is a combinatorial tool to simplify the structure of a given (regular) CW-complex up to homotopy equivalence, in terms of the critical cells of discrete Morse functions. In this talk, I will present a refinement of this theory that guarantees not only a homotopy equiv
