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.

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 Please visit the conference webpage for details on registration: http://ima.org.uk/conferences/conferences_calendar/big_data.html For further information, please visit the conference webpage: http://ima.org.uk/conferences/conferences_calendar/big_data.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Martin Jaggi [log in to unmask] Date: October 02, 2014 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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Roumen Anguelov [log in to unmask] Date: September 27, 2014 Subject: BIOMATH 2015, Bulgaria, Jun 2015 BIOMATH 2015: International Conference on Mathematical Methods and Models in Biosciences 14-19 June 2015 University Centre Bachinovo, South-West University, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria The conference is devoted to recent research in life sciences based on applications of mathematics as well as mathematics applied to or motivated by biological studies.
