Some of my recent presentations:
Phase transitions and algorithmic
barriers in inference problems; invited talk given at IPAM, UCLA, in
January 2012. Includes examples of community detection and
compressed sensing, physics explanation of why the spatial
coupling in compressed sensing saturates the threshold.
Smart Grid;
Introductory lecture about Smart Grid given in ENS, December 2011.
Random Adversarial Satisfiability Problem; invited talk in Bardonecchia, Italy, February 2011.
Inference of functional modules in networks; invited talk in Tokyo, Japan, November 2010.
Inference of parameters in particle tracking by passing messages between images; talk in Hong Kong, China, July 2010.
Glassy phases: A possible origin of computational hardness; invited talk on the March Meeting in Portland, March 2010.
Integration of renewables in redundant power grid; presented at HICSS-43, Hawaii, January 2010.
Random Field Ising Model; no spin glass phase in random field Ising model, RFIM at fixed magnetization, conjecture about graph partitioning. Presented at Banff, Canada, November 2009.
Cavity method for slow dynamics; generalization of the cavity method for adiabatic evolution of glassy Gibbs states; presented at LPT University Paris-Sud, October 2009.
Learning from and about complex energy landscapes; presented as a Santa Fe Institute Colloquium, September 2009.
Physics on random graphs; presented at Physics of Computations seminar, University of Chicago, September 2009.
