DESCRIPTION:Prof. Afonso Bandeira\, ETH Zürich\nTitle: \nWhat are the li
 mits of large random matrices? And what does this say about algorithms?\n\
 nAbstract:\nRandom matrix theory has played a major role in several areas 
 of pure and applied mathematics\, as well as statistics\, physics\, and co
 mputer science. This lecture aims to describe phenomena where large random
  matrices can be described by certain limiting operators\, and how this pr
 ovides new easy-to-use sharp non-asymptotic bounds on the spectrum of gene
 ral random matrices. We will use Tensor PCA and the Kikuchi algorithm for 
 it\, as a running example where the arising limit operators are a central 
 object in noncommutative probability\, functioning as a hybrid between com
 mutative and free variables.\nThis talk is meant to a broad mathematical a
 udience\, no previous background in Random Matrix Theory or noncommutative
  probability is assumed.\n\nPlease register on the following form : https:
