Abstract: Concurrent software is everywhere. Ensuring reliability of concurrent software is a daunting task. In this talk, I will present the basics of verification, what is so hard about concurrency, and recent efforts to tame the problem.
Abstract: There seems to be a general consensus among mathematicians about the notion of a correct proof. Still, in mathematical literature, many invalid proofs remain accepted over a long period of time.
Abstract: Sparse Recovery refers to a broad collection of techniques that aim to exploit sparsity to dramatically reduce the "cost" of reconstructing a low dimensional "sparse" dataset embedded in a prohibitively high dimensional space.
Abstract: Algorithmic game theory is an active and impactful area of research that in recent years has found many applications in the study of large strategic environments, like online markets and auctions, as well as social and biological systems
Abstract: In this talk a duality relation between the Mane's potential and Mather's action functional is derived in the context of convex and state-dependent Hamiltonians.
Abstract: Optimality of source-channel separation for universal communication with a fidelity criterion will be discussed. Universality is over the channel; that is, the channel can belong to a set.
Abstract: Interactions among proteins, regulatory DNA regions surrounding genes, and other biomolecules are central to cellular function and health. Constructing a network representation of these in
