This is a graduate-level course on deep learning for text analysis. We will discuss newest publications on information extraction, knowledge graph construction, question answering and dialog system. Each student is expected to give one hour presentation and complete a research project.
Cryptography provides techniques, mechanisms, and tools for private and authenticated communication, and for performing secure and authenticated transactions over the Internet as well as other open networks. It is highly probable that every single bit of information flowing through our networks will have to be either encrypted and decrypted or signed and authenticated in a few years from now. This infrastructure is needed to carry over the legal and contractual certainty from our paper-based offices to our virtual offices existing in the cyberspace.
String manipulation is a crucial part of modern software systems; for example, it is used extensively in input validation and sanitization, and in dynamic code and query generation. The goal of string-analysis techniques is to determine the set of values that string expressions can take during program execution.
We will cover a diverse state of the art topics related to data management in the cloud. These will include:
Sometimes techniques already available in one branch of science wait to be rediscovered in some disguise in another. This is particularly true for mathematics and computer science.
This is new graduate-level course on mathematical foundations of data science, based on the forthcoming book Foundations of Data Science by Avrim Blum, John Hopcroft and Ravi Kannan. The current draft of the book is available at http://www.cs.cornell.edu/jeh/
The course will primarily focus on a number of fundamental topics including
Geometry of high-dimensional space
Matrix methods
Machine learning
Clustering
Graph models
Data stream processing
This course covers advanced topics on information retrieval, web search, and related scalable information systems. The topics include search engines and advertisements, web crawling, classification, indexing and data serving, ranking and recommendation, user behavior analysis, and online services. This course will also cover system and middleware support for building related large-scale Internet services.
