Birth, Death, and Barcodes: Discretization of Continuous Attributes in Bayesian Network Structure RecoveryBayesian networks are graphical models that can be used to represent complex relationships between a large number of random variables. A

Mathematical modeling of cell divisionCells are the basic unit of life. All life on earth depends on cells' ability to duplicate themselves. In order to divide successfully, cells must solve fascinating mathematics and physics problems, which this

Critical matterI will discuss examples of novel soft condensed matter, such as liquid crystals, membranes, and rubber, with particular focus on ubiquitous thermal fluctuations that lead to phenomena qualitatively beyond Euler-Lagrange

Mathematical modeling of hemostasis  Hemostasis is the process by which a blood clot forms to prevent bleeding at a site of injury. The formation time, size, and structure of a blood clot depends on the local hemodynamics and the

Flavors of Baroclinic Instability in the Global OceanBaroclinic instability is the fundamental mechanism responsible for large-scale and mesoscale motions in rotating, stratified fluids. In Earth's atmosphere, it produces weather systems in

Will KleiberThe challenge of creating historical weather products for the United StatesAbstract: Historical gridded weather products are critical components in climate, hydrologic and ecologic applications. A large number of historical

Stephen BeckerImaging, Optimization and RandomnessWe will take a look at some of the work going in my research group, including work on super-resolution imaging problems (and their associated ill-conditioned optimization formulations), robust

Modeling Arctic Sea IceThe pack ice is effected by both thermodynamic and mechanical processes. Thermodynamic processes result in mass changes at the atmosphere and ocean boundaries.  These processes are coupled with mechanical properties that

The Hunt for the Swamp Monster There is a criminal on the loose in Tensorland. As innocent tensor approximation programs go about their work, sometimes they get ``swamped''. A swamped program has to work for many iterations without making

What Partial Differential Equations Can Teach Us Â鶹ӰԺ Social Behavior and Movement of Populations Models based on partial differential equations have been used extensively to describe fundamental and ubiquitous phenomena in several areas of ecology
