The stochastic root-finding problem is that of finding a zero of a vector-valued function known only through a stochastic simulation. The simulation-optimization problem is that of locating a ...

This is a graduate topics course on learning in networks, focusing in particular on fundamental statistical and computational limits. Topics include the planted clique problem, community detection, ...

Years ago, no math education was complete without understanding how to compute a square root. Today, you are probably just ...

A research team has developed a powerful computational tool—the Algorithmic Root Trait (ART) extraction method—that can “see” beyond human perception to uncover hidden features in plant roots.
