Satyan Devadoss: Origami Folding and Evolutionary Trees

Origami Folding and Evolutionary Trees Satyan Devadoss 11am Saturday, Nov 1, 2014  Laurel Hall 101 In the past 25 years, origami has seen a tremendous explosion, in the arts, the sciences, and in technology.  The mathematical theory of origami, in many ways, is at its infancy.  There is a simple relationship between origami folds and […]

CSE Colloquium: Jon Bentley

Selecting Data for Experiments: Past, Present and Future Jon Bentley October 31, 2014 at 11am at the Dodd Research Center Auditorium (Storrs Campus)  This talk describes three different kinds of data that algorithm designers use to test their implementations.  Selecting input data for past problems typically involves scholarship to assemble existing data and ingenuity to […]

Special ECE/CSE Seminar: Subbarao Kambhampati

Challenges of Human-in-the-Loop Planning & Decision Support  Subbarao Kambhampati Arizona State University October 21, 11am, ITEB 336   Abstract: Endowing  an automated agent with  the ability to “plan” — i.e., convert its high-level goals into an executable course of action — has been a long-standing quest in Artificial Intelligence.  For much of the history of […]

Abhishek Jain – Computing on Private Data

Abhishek Jain Date: March 3, 2014 Time: 11-12amPlace: ITEB 336 Computing on Private Data Abstract Today, end users generate large volumes of private data, some of which may be stored on the cloud in an encrypted form. The need to perform computation on this data to extract meaningful information has become ubiquitous. The following fundamental […]
