SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Info Session for UMichigan Students - Northwestern's MSEd Program
DESCRIPTION:Attend a live-streamed information session about the Masterof Science in Education &amp\; Social Policy Program at Northwestern University. Presentations will include information about the curriculum\, the master's project\, field experiences for teachers\, the application process\, and financial aid. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of program administrators. If you are registering to participate in the live-streamed information session about the program and admissions with our program directors\, go to https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/98047374075 at the scheduled time. When you log in to the session\, you must allow audio in order to hear us. The session is interactive. You will have the opportunity to ask questions\, and you will be asked to introduce yourself and specify which program you are interested in. You may either unmute yourself or type in the chat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The soccer model\, stochastic ordering and martingale transport
DESCRIPTION:Tournaments are competitions between a number of participants\, the outcome of which determines the relative strength or rank of each participant. In many cases\, the strength of a participant in the tournament is given by a score. Perhaps\, the most striking mathematical result on the tournament is Moon’s theorem\, which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a feasible score sequence via majorization. To give a probabilistic interpretation of Moon’s result\, Aldous and Kolesnik introduced the soccer model\, the existence of which allows a short proof of Moon’s theorem. However\, the existence proof of Aldous and Kolesnik is non-constructive\, leading to the question of a “canonical” construction of the soccer model. The purpose of this talk is to discuss explicit constructions of the soccer model with an additional stochastic ordering constraint\, which can be formulated by martingale transport. Two solutions are given: one is by solving an entropy optimization problem via Sinkhorn’s algorithm\, and the other relies on the idea of shadow couplings. It turns out that both constructions yield the property of strong stochastic transitivity. I will also discuss the nontransitive situations if time permits.
