Abstract: The talk begins with the clean-slate design problem of the Internet along with current service provider pain-points, focusing on plausible solutions, narrowing to the concept of Omnipresent Ethernet or OE.
Abstract: A formal axiom system for the algebraic manipulation of regular expressions will be discussed. This system is consistent and complete; equations derivable within this system are precisely the ones that are true.
Abstract: In this talk I will introduce a class of latent variable models for relational data. Consider the relational data of pairwise measurements, such as presence or absence of links between a pair of objects.
