Group,
I installed Mathematica 5.2 and Cygwin in the machine that is running just
under windows(Istanbul).
Enjoy!

PS: In case I don't see you around during the week... Hope you all have a
great time during the holidays!!!

Dear group,
I hope you can make it. The only time I can have lunch is today (I am
skipping a faculty presentation). I was thinking of going to Grendel's
at noon.
Cheers,
Alan

Dear All
We will not meet today. Please let me know if would like to meet
sometime in January or if you will be away.

Dear group,
I have two faculty meetings at noon on Monday and Tuesday. Therefore, for
those that I mentioned the possibility of a group lunch, I think we should
schedule it for sometime in January. My apologies.
My own personal schedule follows:
- Wednesday 20th - Leave for Mexico
- January 3rd - Leave for Italy
- January 11th Leave for Boston
I will be back in the office the 12th of January. If you need to meet me in
person between now and Wednesday, schedule a meeting with me or drop by.
Otherwise, I will try to stop by the office to wish you happy holidays. If I
don't see you, happy holidays!
Between the 21th of December and 2nd of January, I will be working from
Mexico. I can make calls to the US and will be available by e-mail. January
3-11, I will be at my best-friend's wedding and expect no time to deal with
work-related issues. I will e-mail my Mexico Cell phone as soon as I get the
number when I arrive.
With regards to other policies, I decided that next semester, although I
don't teach, I will have "BLOCKED" my time Tuesdays and Thursdays, meaning
that probably besides group meetings, I prefer to meet people on Monday,
Tuesday and Friday. This will help me finish many un-finished things that
have been piling up.
Realistically, I expect to respond to many of your pending longish-requests
(contributions to papers, letters of recommendation, etc. while I am in
Mexico, where I will be in "concentration mode" at least most mornings).

Abstract
Increasingly, we face machine learning problems in very high dimensional spaces. We proceed with the intuition that although natural data lives in very high dimensions, they have relatively few degrees of freedom. One way to formalize this intuition is to model the data as lying on or near a low dimensional manifold embedded in the high dimensional space. This point of view leads to a new class of algorithms that are "manifold motivated" and a new set
of theoretical questions that surround their analysis. A central construction in these algorithms is a graph or simplicial complex that is data-derived and we will relate the geometry of these to the geometry of the underlying manifold. Applications to embedding, clustering, classification, and semi-supervised learning will be considered.

Hello all,
Due to busy schedules, the HF tutorial (scheduled for tomorrow,
Thursday) has been postponed to January. After the break we will,
hopefully, have a continuous set of tutorials on electronic structure
theory, with contributions from different people in the groups, so it
should be a lot fun.
Cheers,
Ali
