SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Applied Mathematics\n
 \n
 Daniel Kane, University 
 of California, San Diego, will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 presentation is titled "Point Location 
 and Active Learning."\n
 \n
 Contact Olga Turanova 
 (turanova@msu.edu) for more informatoin.\n
 \n
 In the point location problem one is given 
 a hyperplane arrangement and an unknown point. 
 By making linear queries about that point one 
 wants to determine which cell of the hyperplane 
 arrangement it lies in. This problem has 
 an unexpected connection to the problem in 
 machine learning of actively learning a halfspace. 
 We discuss these problems and their relationship 
 and provide a new and nearly optimal 
 algorithm for solving them.\n\n
