Exactum B119Title:
Learning When Hard Problems Are Easy
Abstract:
Many interesting and important problems, such as SAT, are known to be NP-Hard. Nevertheless, many sophisticated algorithms have been proposed which, in practice, can provably solve some problem instances quite effectively. Furthermore, the performance of the algorithms is often orthogonal; that is...

Guest lecture
B222Abstract of the talk
Google's Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is responsible for running the company's services with high quality standards: fast, reliably and cheap (pick all three). These services include Google Maps, Web Search, GMail, YouTube, Google+ and many others. This talk explains the purpose and challenges that SRE faces.

SeqPig: simple and scalable scripting for large sequencing data sets in Hadoop
Prof. Keijo Heljanko, HIIT
Abstract:Hadoop MapReduce-based approaches have become increasingly popular due to their scalability in processing large sequencing datasets. However, as these methods typically require in-depth expertise in Hadoop and Java, they are still out of reach of many bioinformaticians. To solve this problem, we have created SeqPig, a library and a collection of tools to manipulate,...

Searching for Similar Items in Diverse Universes
Dr. Corinna Cortes, Head of Google Research, New York, US
Abstract:Google's diverse and ever-growing search domains present new challenges to machine learning. They require designing effective similarity measures that are efficient to compute. In this talk, I will discuss several algorithmic advances and implementation solutions we have designed at Google to handle some of these problems for metric spaces as well as graph-based...
