Subject: New Book, Solving Transcendental Equations
Announcing the September 22, 2014, publication by SIAM of:
Solving Transcendental Equations: The Chebyshev Polynomial Proxy and
Other Numerical Rootfinders, Perturbation Series, and Oracles, by John
P. Boyd
xviii + 462 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611973-51-8 / List
Price $99.00 / SIAM Member Price $69.30 / Order Code OT139
This book serves as the mathematical equivalent of a skydiver's
reserve parachute—not always needed, but indispensible when it is.
The author’s goal is to teach the art of finding the root of a single
algebraic equation or a pair of such equations.
Solving Transcendental Equations is unique in that it is the first
book to describe the Chebyshev-proxy rootfinder, which is the most
reliable way to find all zeros of a smooth function on the interval,
and the very reliable spectrally enhanced Weyl bisection/marching
triangles method for bivariate rootfinding. It also includes three
chapters on analytical methods—explicit solutions, regular pertubation
expansions, and singular perturbation series (including
hyperasymptotics)—unlike other books that give only numerical
algorithms for solving algebraic and transcendental equations.

Subject: Mathematical Challenges of Big Data, UK, Dec 2014
The Big Data Revolution is one of the main science and technology
challenges of today. While this is multifaceted, mathematics is at the
very core of the challenge – in ranking information from vast networks
in web browsers such as Google, or identifying consumer preferences,
loyalty or even sentiment and making personalised recommendations, the
very scale of big data makes automation necessary and this, in turn,
necessarily relies on mathematical algorithms. The challenge is to
derive value from signals buried in an avalanche of noise arising from
challenging data volume, flow and validity. The mathematical
challenges are as varied as they are important. Whether searching for
influential nodes in huge networks, segmenting graphs into meaningful
communities, modelling uncertainties in health trends for individual
patients, linking data bases with different levels of granularity in
space and time, unbiased sampling, or connecting with infrastructure
involving sensors, privacy protection and high performance computing,
answers to these questions are the key to competitiveness and
leadership in this field. This event will highlight current
challenges in mathematical methodology alongside new mathematical
problems arising from Big Data applications.
Papers should describe mathematical challenges specific to the
following topics or their application in large-scale use cases:
Optimal and dynamic sampling; Probably approximately correct
methodologies; Uncertainty modelling & generalisation error bounds;
Network analysis & community finding; Graph & web mining methods;
Trend tracking & novelty detection; Stream data management; Dynamic
segmentation & clustering; Transfer learning; Latent models for
hierarchical data; Deep learning; Context awareness; Multimodal data
linkage; Integration of multi-scale models; Mining of unstructured,
spatio-temporal, streaming and ; multimedia data; Computational
intelligence in large sensor networks; Predictive analytics and
recommender systems; Real-time forecasting; Access on-demand in
distributed databases; Affordable high performance computing; Privacy
protecting data mining; Data integrity & provenance methods;
Visualization methods; Mathematics underpinning large-scale use cases

Subject: Optimization for Machine Learning, Canada, Dec 2014
OPT 2014 - 7th NIPS Workshop on Optimization for Machine Learning
December 12th, 2014, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
http://opt-ml.org/
Deadline for submission of papers: 16th October, 2014
Invited Talks:
- Jean Bernard Lasserre (CNRS, France)
- Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal, Canada)
- Amir Beck (Technion, Israel)
Optimization lies at the heart of many machine learning algorithms and
enjoys great interest in our community. Indeed, this intimate relation
of optimization with ML is the key motivation for the OPT series of
workshops. We aim to foster discussion, discovery, and dissemination
of the state-of-the-art in optimization relevant to ML.
This year, the workshop's special topic will be the challenges in
non-convex optimization, with contributions spanning both the
challenges (hardness results) and the opportunities (modeling
flexibility) of non-convex optimization. Irrespective of the special
topic, contributions on convex optimization are still encouraged.
We invite participation in the 7th International Workshop on
"Optimization for Machine Learning", to be held as a part of the NIPS
2014 conference. This year we invite both contributed talks and/or
posters, as well as open problems.
