Graduate Numerical Analysis Seminar, Khalil Hall-Hooper, Anomaly Detection with Isolation Forests: Using tree-based methods in machine learning to find outliers in data

Zoom

Determining anomalies in data using classical machine learning techniques typically requires characterizing the notion of what is "normal" or "expected" in the instance space. Upon doing so, one would then utilize this profile to identify points that do not coincide with this description of normal. However, this process tends to be costly computationally, thus limiting…

Christopher Leonard, NC State, Mapping from Low Fidelity to High Fidelity Analysis for Failure Quantities of Interest

Zoom

Often in large numerical simulations decisions are made to reduce the fidelity of particular features in order to simulate the event duration. One common method is the application of shell formulations instead of 3D continuum, especially for objects with large aspect ratios of extent to thickness. While these reductions allow for longer duration events to…

Tim Reid, Examining Sensitivity Large Computational Problems on Early Termination of CG with Probabilistic Numerics

Zoom

Many large computational problems depend on solutions to systems of linear equations. One widely used method of solving systems of linear equations is the Conjugate Gradient method (CG). Terminating CG after only a few iterations can save computational resources but can also cause an error in the solution to the system of linear equations, and…
