CS Department Seminar: Elaine Weyuker (AT&T Labs Research)
February 27, 2012 Title: Looking for Bugs In all the RIGHT Places Speaker: Elaine Weyuker (http://www.research.att.com/people/Weyuker_Elaine_J?fbid=tSYcTCsG7Co), AT&T Labs Research, Florham Park, NJTime: Monday, February 27th, 11:00amLocation: Babbio 203Host: Adriana Compagnoni Abstract:It would obviously be very valuable to know in advance which files in the next release of a large software system are most likely to contain the largest numbers of faults. To accomplish this, we developed a negative binomial regression model and used it to predict the expected number of faults in each file of the next release of a system. The predictions are based on code

February 14, 2012 Title: Bayesian Reinforcement Learning With Censored Observations andApplications in Dynamic PricingSpeaker: Sanmay Das (http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~sanmay/), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY 12180-3590Time: Tuesday, Feburary 14th, 11:00amLocation: Lieb 319Host: George KamberovAbstract:In many real-world applications, a decision-maker receives censored information from the world. A censored observation is one where the value of a measurement is only partially known -- for example, whether or not a buyer values an item enough to purchase it at a particular price, or whether or not a particular drug dosage level is toxic. The d

February 13, 2012 Title: Motor, Voters, and the Future of Embedded Security
Speaker: Stephen Checkoway (http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~scheckow/), University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0404Time: Monday, February 13th, 11:00amLocation: Babbio 203Host: Susanne WetzelAbstract: The stereotypical view of computing, and hence computer security, is a landscape filled with laptops, desktops, smartphones and servers; general purpose computers in the proper sense. However, this is but the visible tip of the iceberg. In fact, most computing today is invisibly embedded into systems and environments that few of us would ever think of as computers. Indeed, ap

February 8, 2012 Title: Secure Computation: From Theory Towards Practice
Speaker: Samuel "Dov" Gordon (http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~gordon/), Columbia University, New York, NY 10032
Time: Wednesday, February 8th, 11:00am
Location: Babbio 203
Host: Antonio R Nicolosi
Abstract:
In 1982, Yao introduced the field of "secure computation", in which n parties, holding private inputs x_1,...,x_n, engage in a protocol to compute some function f(x_1,...,x_n), while revealing nothing more than the output. In the decade that followed, the topic of secure computation was thoroughly explored, and almost every theoretical

February 6, 2012
Title: Causality, Probability, and Time
Speaker: Samantha Kleinberg (http://people.dbmi.columbia.edu/samantha/), Columbia University, New York, NY 10032
Time: Monday, February 6th, 11:00am
Location: Babbio 203
Host: Adriana Compagnoni
Abstract:
Whether we want to know the cause of a stock's price movements (in order to trade on this information), the key phrases that can alter public opinion of a candidate (in order to optimize a politician’s speeches), or which genes work together to regulate a disease causing process (so we may intervene and disrupt it), we want to understand
