PRESENTATION

AICA is a short industrial workshop focused on transfering knowledge from mathematical areas related to the application of algebra to the industrial world.

This is going to be the fifth edition, after those organized in Granada (2011), Madrid (2013), Logroño (2016), and Santander (2019).

Industrial workshop organized by Red-EACA, a Network of Excellence partialy financed by the Spanish Ministery of Science, Innovation and Universities (RED2018-102709-T)

This event is locally organized by Universitat de Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, and Centre de Recerca Matemàtica through the Maria de Maeztu Excellence Program.

      ABSTRACT

      Topological data analysis (TDA) can be broadly described as the application of topological ideas to find structure in data. The breakthrough in this field started during the 2000 with the introduction of persistent homology, an algorithm that allows one to study how the “shape” of a dataset varies across different levels of detail. In this talk we present an introduction of the subject and we discuss some examples in different fields: neuroscience, image recognition, …

      ABSTRACT

      Optimization methods for the design of progressive lenses

      The lens is the transparent part of the eye behind the pupil that helps humans to see clearly by focusing light onto the retina. Over time, the lens loses some of its elasticity and therefore can no longer accommodate clearly for near vision. This phenomenon is called presbyopia and explains why people need reading glasses as they become older. Progressive lenses correct presbyopia and have a complex design: they have an upper region for far vision, a low region for near vision (reading), and a corridor that connects these areas which allows clearly vision at an intermediate distance, for example, when looking at a computer screen. In this talk we will present two different models for computing progressive lenses. Both models are highly nonlinear, nonconvex and continuous and were solved using the AMPL modeling language and the interior point solvers IPOPT, LOQO and KNITRO. This talk is part of an Industrial Doctorate developed through a partnership agreement between the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the company Horizons Optical.
