AWM Upcoming Events

Good afternoon,

On behalf of the Association for Women in Mathematics, we are excited to share two opportunities coming up next week. I would appreciate it if you could share this with your students!

First, Dr. Chamila Gamage of the Department of Mathematics (https://people.clas.ufl.edu/cgamage/) will be giving a talk on Tuesday, September 24th at 4:00 pm in LIT127. The title of her talk is "The Optimal Transport Problem: Its Variants and Applications". I’ve attached the abstract and flyer for those that are interested.

Additionally, we are having an informal Q&A session in LIT225 on Monday, September 23rd at 4:00 pm with former AWM President, Dr. Ami Radunskaya, from the Department of Mathematics at Pomona College (https://www.pomona.edu/directory/people/ami-e-radunskaya). We hope to see you there! 

If anyone would like to know more about the club, feel free to look at our website, https://awm.math.ufl.edu, contact our AWM Vice President Iman Kazmi (kazmib@ufl.edu), or our two faculty sponsors, Dr. Pollock (s.pollock@ufl.edu) and Dr. Christodoulopoulou (kchristod@ufl.edu). Thank you!

Best,

Abstract for Talk with Dr. Gamage:

The classical Optimal Transport (OT) problem studies how to transport one distribution to another in the most efficient way. In the past few decades, it has emerged as a very powerful tool in various fields, such as optimization theory, probability theory, partial differential equations, machine learning, and data analysis. In this talk, we will discuss some variants of the classical optimal transport problem, such as the capacity constrained OT problem, multi-marginal OT problem, entropy-regularized OT problem and barycenters, and their applications. We will also briefly discuss the duality results associated with these variants and highlight their theoretical significance.

English Speech Survey for Indian students

I hope this email finds you well. The UF Data Studio Lab is conducting research to improve speech recognition for Indian English accents. To support this study, we've created a brief 4-5 minute survey that includes simple speech tasks. We believe the participation of Indian graduate students can be really helpful to our research. Could you kindly share this survey link with Indian graduate students in the CS department?  Survey Link: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bsypey1tUeqAic6 Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management The most powerful, simple and trusted way to gather experience data.
