Applied Mathematics/Data Science Journal Club

Welcome to the Applied Math/Data Science Journal Club! The club is open to anyone interested in learning what applied math has to say about data science or recent machine learning methods that have already made a great impact on scientific computing. Selected topics so far include applied analysis of neural networks, data-driven equation discovery, generative modeling, and numerics for high-dimensional PDE. If you have any questions about the club, please contact us.

Spring semester meetings will take place on Tuesdays at 3:00 P.M. in Moody Hall Room 241

Club Schedule: Fall 2023
