Title: Markov models on trees: Variants of the reconstruction problem
Abstract: 
I will consider the so-called `reconstruction problem': how accurately
can one guess the state at the root of a Markov chain on a finite tree,
given the states at the leaves? I will introduce variants of this problem
that arise naturally in connection with applications in molecular
evolution, and discuss recent results and open problems. Based
on joint works with Andoni, Daskalakis, Hassidim, Mossel and
Sly.
