This seminar is meant for any interested members of our department and the university at large--faculty, graduate students and undergraduates--to convene and discuss matters related to artificial intelligence and its uses and impacts on the world of mathematics. There is one rule: ALL viewpoints are sought and time for productive discussion is expected. There is no restriction on the topics that will be covered as long as they are related in some way to AI and mathematics.
Time and Place: Every other Tuesday, 4:30-5:20, WTHR 114

Title: Money, Models, and Making the Most of It
Abstract: AI is here, so how can you make it work for you? We'll give an overview of some strategies for leveraging the human angle in the age of AI, and talk about the world's newest commodity: inference. What is it? Are there flavors? How much does it cost? And how should I deploy it?

Title: Math Conversations with LLMs
Abstract: We all know by now that LLMs can solve complex mathematical problems. The question is, where does that leave us? How do we use them productively in our own training and research? I'll describe my own views and practices on using LLMs for education and research.
