Liberating the Dimension - Frontier Technologies for Very High Dimensional Problems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Real world problems tend to involve an enormous number of variables (the dimension) - hundreds, thousands, millions, or even infinite. Very high dimensional problems arise in finance, statistics, physics and many other application areas. For example, in option pricing, maximum likelihood estimation in health statistics, and porous flow through a random medium. In this project, the theory of very high dimensional computation will be developed in step with applications, with the applications being chosen to help in shaping the theory. The project involves interdisciplinary collaborations and aims to develop frontier technologies for tackling realistic high dimensional problems.
