Lili Su: Learning with Distributed Systems: Adversary-Resilience and Neural Networks
Friday, October 18, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

In this talk, I will first talk about how to secure Federated Learning (FL) against adversarial faults. FL is a new distributed learning paradigm proposed by Google.

Lower Bounds for Dynamic Distributed Task Allocation
Friday, May 10, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Abstract: I will talk about problem of distributed task allocation in multi-agent systems.

Brabeeba Wang: Integrating Temporal Information to Spatial Information in a Neural Circuit
Friday, March 8, 2019 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Algorithms in the brain are inherently distributed.

Quanquan Liu: On Bioelectric Algorithms: A Novel Application of Theoretical Computer Science to Core Problems in Developmental Biology. Authors: Seth Gilbert, James Maguire, Calvin Newport
Friday, December 14, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Previous experimental studies have suggested that cellular bioelectricity plays a key role in organism developmental processes such as tissue regeneration, tumor suppression, and embryogenesis.

Lewis Tseng: Resilient Causal Memory in Client-Server Model
Friday, December 7, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
We study how to emulate resilient causal memory in the client-server model over asynchronous message- passing network.
Rati Gelashvili: Why Extension-based Proofs Fail
Friday, November 30, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
We prove that a class of fundamental shared memory tasks are not amenable to certain standard proof techniques in the field.
Adam Alon: Deterministic Abortable Mutual Exclusion with Sublogarithmic Adaptive RMR Complexity
Friday, October 12, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Abstract: We present a deterministic abortable mutual exclusion algorithm for a cache-coherent (CC) model with read, write, Fetch-And-Add (F&A), and CAS primitives, whose RMR complexity is O(log_W N) , where W is the size of the F&
Kishori Konwar: FLECKS-Fast Lean Erasure-coded Consistent Key-value Store
Friday, September 14, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Creating highly-available and cost-effective large-scale distributed object storage systems with useful consistency guarantees is at the heart of enabling the implementation of many Internet-based applications.
Nancy Lynch: An Algorithmic Theory of Brain Networks
Friday, May 18, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Ren Ling: Efficient Synchronous Byzantine Consensus
Friday, May 4, 2018 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
