In 2009, Peter Cameron introduced a common generalization of various classes of combinatorial designs such as balanced incomplete block designs, resolvable designs and orthogonal arrays. Generalized covering and packing designs can be defined in analogous way. These objects bring into this framework further classes of designs, including covering and packing arrays, Howell designs, monogamous cy...

Hour Talks

Efforts to detect targets of recent positive selection (“selective sweeps”) in the genome frequently involve an initial screen of a region of the genome at a low density of markers (either SNPs or microsatellites), followed by a denser screen in the region flanking markers that show reduced or skewed variation relative to that predicted by an equilibrium neutral model or relative to “background...

Short talks

This talk concerns Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems for second order elliptic divergence form equations with non-symmetric, or more general complex, and measurable coefficients independent of the transversal coordinate in the upper half space. I shall discuss some recent results obtained which shows that, in the case of non-symmetric coefficients, the solutions obtained with the bo...

In team sports, players move in complex but surprisingly predictable ways. With state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning methods, it is now possible to collect sufficiently large player tracking datasets and learn patterns of how players actually move. In this talk, I will describe how this knowledge has been used at Disney Research to generate new analytics and sports broadcasting...
