Classification by Invariant Scattering

Speaker: Dr. Stephane Mallat, Applied Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique, Paris

Time: 2:00pâ?"3:00p

Location: 46-3002, Singleton Auditorium, Bldg 46, off of 3rd floor atrium

I2 Lecture Series

Abstract: Signal classes are usually invariant to groups of operators such as translations or scalings, and to larger Lie groups of deformations. Classification thus requires finding informative invariants. Invariants are also at the core of quantum physics through Gauge theories. We introduce non-linear invariant operators, similar to quantum scattering. These operators have small commutators with elastic deformations and provide new representations of stationary processes. Their computational architecture reminds deep neural networks, but learning is needed at a single layer, and implemented with O(N) operations. State of the art results are shown for image classification of deformed patterns and random textures.

MIT Falun Dafa Group Exercises

Time: 6:15pâ?"7:30p

Location: W20-Front, Lawn in front of W20 Student Center

Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong, or just Dafa) is a high-level cultivation practice guided by the characteristics of the universe--Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance.

"Cultivation" means continuously striving to better harmonize oneself with these universal principles. "Practice" refers to the exercises -- five sets of easy-to-learn gentle movements and meditation. Cultivating oneself is essential; practicing the exercises supplements the process.

Over time, the principles of Dafa unveil the deepest and most profound truths of the universe. Following the principles, practitioners of Falun Dafa are able to reach very high realms, enlightening to the true meanings of life, and finding the path of return to their origins and true selves.

While the exercises have deep inner meanings, they also help to reduce stress and can bring great improvements in health and fitness.

Mix and Mingle (Joint Event)
This is a joint event with the Social Fun Meetup Group, the Happy Hour Meetup Group and the Boston Nightlife Meetup Group, and the Boston Volunteer Meetup Group. I'm probably not going to be able to make it, but members had so much fun at the last mix and mingle that I wanted to post the event again. So, we won't be meeting as a group at the event, but I still encourage you all to come. This is not a Singles Party. Meaning anyone can come, including couples. All are welcome to Party and Socialize. Kitty O'Sheas has 2 Bars upstairs, 4 huge comfy couches, AC, its own DJ area with light machine and dance floor, plus its own bathroom upstairs so this will be like a private party. Note: Music will medium levels in main room upstairs. Music will be tuned very low in the back room so members can have a separate area to chat! At about 9PM the dancing and music starts, There will be 3 Bartender upstairs: 2 at the upfront Bar and 1 in the back . Some appetizers will be provided (Wings/veggie platter, cheeses etc) The entry fee is $5 to cover the cost to rent the whole 2nd floor, 3 bartenders +the DJ. Please find Biagio at the party and please give Biagio the $5. (No one dollar bills please) If you don't know Biaggio, go to the Social Fun Meetup and his picture is listed as the organizer. Or ask when you're there. Some one will point you in the right direction. After you get inside there is a Security at the stairs please tell them you are with Social Fun to get in (Even if you are with a different group). There were some issues last time and if you say you are with any other group they will not let you in. Some things to keep in mind: 1. Everyone, but the Meetup Head Organizers, pays $5. 2. If you arrive after 9PM, you will have to pay another $5 as a cover charge for the Bar Entrance fee to get in so that $10 total. $5 to bar and $5 to cover the cost to rent the 2nd floor. 3. If you get in before 9PM you only have to pay $5 to Biagio to cost to rent. Make sure you get there early! 4. It will be packed. Get there early to ensure you get in. 5. If you come after 8:00PM you might not even get in right away and will have to wait in line downstairs to go upstairs. 6. Tell Security you are with Social Fun to get in -Even if you are with a different group. Note: Because this is a joint event, we only have 40 spots. So, if you RSVP with another group, don't RSVP for this group too. Also if you RSVP and then later know you can't make it, please change your RSVP to a no so that other members can come. Maybe RSVPs will be moved to NO RSVPs 1 week before the event.

Johnny A.
Only the finest musicians have the ability to capture the nuances of life in sound, which puts Johnny in a very exclusive group of six-stringers that includes Les Paul, Wes Montgomery, Jeff Beck, Chet Atkins, and Jimi Hendrix. The secret is his blend of melody, sonic definition, technique and that indefinable-yet-tangible quality called soul. And hes eloquently shared that secret on the CDs Sometime Tuesday Morning (2001), Get Inside (2004) and the instructional DVD Taste, Tone, Space (2006). All the virtues of Johnny A.s playing are in abundant display on One November Night. Johnny has shared the stage with B.B. King, Les Paul, Jeff Beck, JJ Cale, Etta James, Dr. John, Joe Satriani, Peter Frampton, Steve Vai, George Thorogood, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Huey Lewis and the News, Sonny Landreth, Robben Ford, Monte Montgomery, Duke Robillard and Coco Montoya, among others. Performances at Eric Claptons Crossroads Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Japans Fuji Rock Festival and many more. Played as a sideman with such artists as Bobby Whitlock and J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf. In his six year stint as Wolfs guitarist, Johnny recorded on the album Fools Parade (1999) and co-produced Long Line (1996) with Wolf. Nominated for Best Debut Album at the Boston Music Awards in 2000 for Sometime Tuesday Morning. Radio single from that album, Oh Yeah, was 1 on AAA radio at stations in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Austin, TX, among others, the first time in a decade an instrumental artist achieved that status. Gibson Custom Guitars introduced the Johnny A. Signature Model in 2003, designed from the ground up per Johnnys specs. This was the first time in 40 years Gibson had done so for an artist and it has become one of the companys most successful and popular models. Johnny A.s Signature Model is featured on Gibson.com as one of the top Five Iconic Guitars and sweetest rides in the Gibson Shop, along with Signature B.B. King and Les Paul models.
