IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Human B Cell Receptor-Epitope Selection for Pan-Sarbecovirus Neutralization
Abstract
The induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against viruses requires the specific activation of human B cell receptors (BCRs) by viral epitopes. Following BCR activation, B cells can undergo germinal center–dependent and –independent pathways to generate both long-term…
Department of Mathematics - Seminar on Pure Mathematics - Geometric Langlands and co-adjoint orbits
Geometric Langlands can be interpreted as a mirror symmetry between the moduli space of Higgs bundle of group $G$ via the same moduli space of its Langlands dual $G'$. Once we
Science Majors Week 2022 - Popular Science Talk: 2022 Physics Nobel Prize - Into The Wild Quantum World
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 has been awarded to three pioneers for their experiments on the foundations of quantum mechanics and its potential future applications.
Department of Mathematics - Seminar on Statistics and Data Science - Exponential Lower Bounds and Fast Convergence for Policy Optimization
Policy gradient (PG) methods and their variants lie at the heart of modern reinforcement learning. Due to the intrinsic non-concavity of value maximization, however, the theoretical underpinnings of PG-type methods have been limited even until recently.
