Hawaii Intern XAPfest - Intro Session #1: Silverlight for Windows Phone and Programming Language? Check. Platform? Check. Design language? Check. Speed?

Smartphones offer advanced hardware and software features that allow developers to design feature-rich applications.

A memory abstraction is an abstraction layer between the program execution and the memory that provides a different "view" of a memory location depending on the execution context in which the memory

The Human Genome Project was completed almost a decade ago.

Starting with n particles at the origin in Z^d, let each particle in turn perform simple random walk until reaching an unoccupied site.

An overwhelming number of authentication technologies have been proposed to replace passwords over the past 20 years.

TouchDevelop is a new a software development environment that runs on the Windows Phone itself, no separate PC or keyboard required.

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a popular approach in statistics and machine learning for the global optimization of expensive blackbox functions.

Networks have become multipath: mobile devices have multiple radio interfaces, datacenters have redundant paths and multihoming is the norm for big server farms.

The rapid growth of data volumes has led many developers to abandon traditional relational databases in favor of distributed key/values stores and map/reduce programs.

Dynamic software updating (DSU) systems allow programs to be updated while running, thereby allowing developers to add features and fix bugs without downtime.

In this talk I will focus on two major aspects of differentially private learning: i) learning from high-dimensional data, and ii) learning from data sets where the samples arrive online.

A Brief Exposition Of Quadratic Forms In Two Variables Over The Integers And A Theorem Of Manjul Bhargava Let p be a prime.

Emerging datacenter workloads differ from traditional e-commerce workloads in two ways. First, emerging big-science workloads can access networked storage thousands of times for 1 simulation.

1). Erasure Codes for Big Data over Hadoop As big data grows faster than infrastructure, triple replication becomes prohibitively expensive for distributed storage systems.

Deducing the state or structure of a system from partial, noisy measurements is a fundamental task throughout the sciences and engineering.

Solid-state storage devices such as flash and phase-change memory have dramatically different properties than disks, yet are exposed in many systems as a generic block device.

This talk will describe research on evolving general purpose graphics processor units (GPGPU) architecture towards more irregular parallel workloads.

The information revolution has been unfolding for a few thousand years. The changes of the past half-century fit in; differences in degree become differences in kind.

GPU Ocelot is an open-source dynamic JIT compilation framework for GPU compute applications targeting a range of GPU and non-GPU execution targets.

Fast, accurate and satisfying text entry remains a significant challenge on touch screens.

There are many urgent problems facing the planet: a degrading environment, a healthcare system in crisis, and educational systems that are inadequately training creative, innovative thinkers to

We present a system and a set of techniques for learning linear predictors with convex losses on terascale datasets, with trillions of features (the number of features here refers to the number of

An important challenge faced by today's big-data analytics systems is fault-tolerance: When running a parallel query at large scale, some form of failure is likely to occur during execution.

This talk provides an overview of our current research on SMT-based model checking.

Six-sided ice crystals that fall to earth in ideal winter conditions, commonly known as snowflakes, have fascinated scientists for centuries.

The talk will give an overview of recent results on simple one-dimensional rules started from seeds, i.e., from bounded perturbations of the quiescent state.

Get introduced to C++ AMP: GPU computing in the next release of Windows and Visual Studio.

Current Event: Advanced techniques for monetizing Windows Phone apps Learn how to increase the revenue of your Windows Phone 7 apps!

His talk is an overview of the machine learning course I have just taught at Cambridge University (UK) during the Lent term (Jan to March) 2012.
