Data structures have applications and connections to algorithm design, database systems, streaming algorithms and other areas of computer science. Understanding what efficient data structures can do (and what they cannot do) is crucial to these applications.
Networks are ubiquitous in biology where they encode connectivity patterns at all scales of organization, from populations to a single cell. How to extract and understand non-trivial topological features and structures inherent in the networks is critical to understanding interactions withi
Technology scaling of DRAM cells has enabled higher capacity memory for the last few decades. Unfortunately, DRAM cells become vulnerable to failure as they scale down to a smaller size.
Computer systems are highly vulnerable; attackers everyday discover new security vulnerabilities and exploit them to compromise the target systems. This talk will present our approaches to automatically prevent software vulnerabilities from exploitation.
Natural language is built from a library of concepts and compositional operators that provide a rich source of information about how humans understand the world. Can this information help us build better machine learning models?
Despite decades of research building secure operating systems, many deployed systems must still choose between flexible application APIs and security. As a result, the vast majority of programmers are unable to improve these systems. This is not merely a result of poor system building.
How will self-driving cars change urban mobility? This talk describes contributions in machine learning and optimization critical for enabling mixed-autonomy mobility, the gradual and complex integration of automated vehicles into the existing transportation system.
AI has made huge advancement into our daily life and increasingly we require intelligent agents that work intimately with people in a changing environment. However, current systems mostly work in a passive mode: waiting for requests from users and processing them one at a time.
Computing devices play a more significant role in our lives than ever before, so it is more important than ever for them to understand who we are as people on a deep level.
We are at an exciting point in the evolution of memory technology. Device manufacturers have created a new non-volatile memory (NVM) technology that can serve as both system memory and storage.
