About Latent Seminar
This latent seminar is an interest-driven reading group inspired by John Baez's website, which I have followed since I was an undergraduate student. I found it fascinating to learn about a wide variety of topics. I used to maintain a research blog (updated through 2020) to document my thoughts, but I paused it during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The topics are random. I generated the typeset using Jupyter Notebooks and converted it to HTML. Embedding code in a Google site uses the snippet. The notes are available if you'd like them. Some of them could be lecture notes in the future.
The past topics are archived on separate pages. This group is latent. If you would like to join the reading group, please email me.
In Oct. 2026, famous problems were massively resolved (claimed) by OpenAI. A portion of the seminar will study whether there were any interesting techniques in their proofs.
