We provide various formulations of knot homology that are predicted by string dualities. In addition, we also explain the rich algebraic structure of knot homology which can be understood in terms of geometric representation theory in these formulations. These notes are based on lectures in the workshop "Physics and Ma…

Lecture notes on group actions on injective spaces and Helly graphs.

problem Understanding group actions on specific metric spaces.
method Review of injective metric spaces and Helly graphs, elementary properties, constructions, and exercises.
result Presentation of various constructions of injective metric spaces and Helly graphs with interesting group actions.

Semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are developed in the context of travel mode inference with uni-dimensional smartphone trajectory data. We use data from a large-scale smartphone travel survey in Montreal, Canada. We convert GPS trajectories into fixed-sized segments with five channels (variables).…

These are notes of lectures given at the NATO Summer School, Montreal 1995. Taubes's recent spectacular work setting up a correspondence between JJ-holomorphic curves in symplectic 4-manifolds and solutions of the Seiberg-Witten equations counts JJ-holomorphic curves in a somewhat new way. The "standard" theory conce…

problem Analyzing the mean curvature flow of surfaces and their singularities.
method Analysis of neck and conical singularities, using monotonicity formulas, epsilon-regularity, weak solutions, and blowup techniques.
result Unique evolution through neck singularities, nonuniqueness through conical singularities.

Ensemble CNNs improve mode classification in smartphone travel surveys.

problem Classifying transportation modes from smartphone travel survey data.
method Developed an ensemble of CNN models with different architectures and hyper-parameters, combined using average voting, majority voting, optimal weights, and a Random Forest meta-learner.
result The ensemble method with Random Forest as meta-learner achieved 91.8% accuracy, surpassing other methods.
