These singularities generate cusps that limit the global regularity of the wave function in spectral Barron spaces, which are particularly relevant to the analysis of Fourier-based approximation methods and neural networks.<br>\r\nIn this talk, we study the effect of extracting a truncated Jastrow factor designed to capture the leading coalescence singularities while preserving the asymptotic behavior of the wave function at infinity. We show that the resulting quotient gains one full order of spectral Barron regularity: whereas the original wave function typically belongs to spaces of order (s<1), the Jastrow quotient belongs to those of order (s<2). An explicit hydrogenic example shows that the threshold (s=2) is natural.<br>\r\nThe proof relies on conjugating the Hamiltonian by the Jastrow factor and carrying out a global Fourier-space analysis. It combines resolvent estimates, precise control of singular coefficients, and a fixed-point argument separating low and high frequencies.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n---<br>\r\nThe electronic structure reading group brings together researchers and students interested in mathematical aspects of electronic structure problems and adjacent topics, including:\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li>Density Functional Theory</li>\r\n\t<li>Many-body Schrödinger equation for electrons</li>\r\n\t<li>Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics</li>\r\n\t<li>Numerical analysis and error control</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWebsite: <a href=\"https://matmat.org/readinggroup/\">https://matmat.org/readinggroup/</a><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-08-25T16:31:13", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-02T11:49:52", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "True", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "GC B3 31", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==GC%20B3%2031", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://team.inria.fr/matherials/team-members/virginie-ehrlacher-galland/\">Virginie Ehrlacher (ENPC)</a>", "organizer": "Michael Herbst, Noé Blassel, Niklas Schmitz", "contact": "Michael Herbst, Noé Blassel, Niklas Schmitz", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121568/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/191/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/246/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72472, "title": "creapoly - EPFL staff collective expressions", "slug": "creapoly-epfl-staff-collective-expressions", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/creapoly-epfl-staff-collective-expressions", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33788/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-08", "end_date": "2026-10-12", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<strong>Discover your colleagues’ creative talents! </strong>Thirty EPFL staff members, doctoral students, and postdocs are showcasing their artistic works as part of this exhibition.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>PRACTICAL INFORMATION:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Exhibition : </strong>October 9-12<strong> / </strong>10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>At the <a href=\"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%20294.22\">Foyer SG</a></strong> : The SG building will be open over the weekend</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThey answered the call and will be exhibiting one or two works as part of the creapoly exhibition!

Held every week, alternating between <strong>Tuesdays and Thursdays</strong>, these sessions provide an opportunity for laboratories, platforms, centers, and units to receive guidance and support on implementing more sustainable laboratory practices.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe <strong>Sustainable Labs initiative</strong> is part of EPFL's <em>Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2030</em>, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of <strong>40% compared to 2006/2019 levels</strong> and achieve <strong>climate neutrality by 2040</strong>.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n→<a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/about/sustainability/sustainability/green-labs_draft_ag/\"> </a><strong><a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/about/sustainability/sustainability/green-labs_draft_ag/\">Learn more about the EPFL Sustainable Labs initiative</a>.</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nResearch activities are a key lever for achieving these ambitious goals. However, while cutting-edge research drives innovation, it also carries a significant environmental footprint. Laboratories consume large amounts of energy, generate substantial quantities of plastic, chemical, and biological waste, and contribute considerably to greenhouse gas emissions. At EPFL, we are committed to understanding and reducing this impact. Through the development and deployment of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>, we help researchers measure, understand, and improve the environmental performance of their activities.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nFrom <strong>October 8 to December 17, 2026</strong>, the <strong>Sustainable Labs: Get Involved</strong> sessions will focus on training and supporting users in the use of the <strong>EPFL CO₂ Calculator</strong>.

Just as simple models from decision theory provide context for understanding the decisions of complex humans, so too can they for complex AI systems. Bayesian decision theory considers an agent receiving a signal that is correlated with the state, choosing an action, and obtaining a payoff that depends on both the state and action. With Bayesian updating and the revelation principle, the signal becomes a posterior belief and the decision problem becomes a scoring rule. Given a scoring rule, baseline performance is the optimal score under the prior; benchmark performance is the optimal score under the posterior; and the optimal scoring rule — framed as a mechanism design problem — maximizes the difference between them. The talk reviews this theory and applies it to (a) evaluate prediction as a service, (b) behavioral experiments on human-AI decision making, (c) develop proper scoring rules for text (e.g. for training language models to hallucinate less).<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Short bio:</strong><br>\r\nProf. Hartline’s research introduces design and analysis methodologies from computer science to understand and improve outcomes of economic, legal, and AI systems. Optimal behavior and outcomes in complex environments are complex and, therefore, should not be expected; instead, the theory of approximation can show that simple and natural behaviors are approximately optimal in complex environments. This approach is applied to auction theory and mechanism design in his graduate textbook Mechanism Design and Approximation which is under preparation.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nProf. Hartline received his Ph.D. in 2003 from the University of Washington under the supervision of Anna Karlin.

A borrower raises funds for an initial investment and may need financing after observing a private liquidity shock.

The optimal simple debt contract is an endogenous debt limit. It captures the intertemporal commitment–flexibility tradeoff: more borrowing today fi nances investment but increases dilution incentives, requiring tighter limits on future borrowing. Richer clauses, including performance-sensitive debt and contingent prepayment provisions, re store the exclusive-lending benchmark by compensating existing lenders when new financing is raised.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-06-03T15:01:15", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-30T13:50:47", "link_label": "Paper", "link_url": "https://yunzhihu.web.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/14825/2026/08/draft-v4.pdf", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "UNIL, Extranef, room 126", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://yunzhihu.web.unc.edu/\">Yunzhi Hu - The University of North Carolina</a>", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120962/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/112/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/116/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/105/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72194, "title": "Neuro-X seminar: Prof Tim O'Shea - Engineering astrocytes to promote wound repair and modulate foreign body responses in the CNS", "slug": "neuro-x-seminar-prof-tim-o-shea-engineering-astroc", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/neuro-x-seminar-prof-tim-o-shea-engineering-astroc", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33474/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33474/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33474/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-09", "end_date": "2026-10-09", "start_time": "11:00:00", "end_time": "12:00:00", "description": "<p>Astrocytes are the predominant glial cells in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and play essential roles in maintaining neural circuit activity and tissue homeostasis. In response to CNS insult, including traumatic injury or implantation of a medical device, astrocytes undergo a conserved, temporally regulated reprogramming that reshapes their prioritized functions to protect adjacent neural tissue. The nature and extent of astrocyte reprogramming critically influences outcomes after CNS insult. For example, regeneration after traumatic CNS injury in adult mammals is limited by local responding astrocytes lacking sufficient self-renewal capacity. By contrast, the CNS of neonate (newborn) mammals possesses exceptional parenchymal repair capacity owing to immature astrocytes with elevated proliferative and migratory potential. In the context of an implanted medical device, the spatial extent of astrocyte reprogramming and how impacted astrocytes respond to any further device micromotion, latent infection, or other persistent device-derived stimuli, dictates device performance and longevity. Engineering astrocyte responses to promote targeted functional gains while preserving key capabilities of healthy neural tissue astrocytes will be critical to enabling effective neural regeneration therapies and improving long-term performance of implanted devices. In this talk, I will outline our emerging understanding of how adult astrocytes adaptively reprogram in response to CNS injury and implanted foreign bodies, drawing insights from innovative astrocyte-specific transcriptomic bioassays. I will also provide an overview of biomaterial and cell-grafting strategies that we are exploring to direct astrocyte responses in preclinical models of stroke, spinal cord injury, and foreign body responses.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio:</strong><br>\r\n<strong>Dr. Timothy O’Shea, PhD</strong> is an Assistant Professor in the Biomedical Engineering department at Boston University (BU).
