ESE Fall Colloquium – “Phase Transitions, Symmetry, and Reed-Muller Codes on BMS Channels”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesThis talk will begin by discussing phase transitions in high-dimensional statistical inference problems. Some effort will be made to distinguish between problems with random structure (e.g., random codes and sparse PCA) and problems with deterministic structure (e.g., highly symmetric codes such as Reed-Muller codes). For problems with deterministic structure, we will observe that symmetry can […]
