CIS Seminar: “Designing Hardware for Cryptography and Cryptography for Hardware”

There have been few high-impact deployments of hardware implementations of cryptographic primitives. We present the benefits and challenges of hardware acceleration of sophisticated cryptographic primitives and protocols, and describe our […]

CIS Seminar: “The Long Arm of Theoretical Computer Science: A Case Study in Blockchains/Web3”

Blockchains that support a general contract layer (e.g., Ethereum) export the functionality of a general-purpose, ownerless, and open-access computer that can enforce property rights for digital data.  How is such […]

CIS Seminar: “Rater Equivalence: An Interpretable Measure of Classifier Accuracy Against Human Labels”

In many classification tasks, the ground truth is either noisy or subjective. Examples of noisy ground truth include: does this radiology image show a cancerous growth? does this radar data […]

CIS Seminar: “Equilibrium Complexity and Deep Learning”

Deep Learning has recently made significant progress in learning challenges such as speech and image recognition, automatic translation, and text generation, much of that progress being fueled by the success of […]

Theory Seminar- Rachel Cummings (Columbia University)

Theory Seminar- Recent Developments in Combinatorial Auctions, Matt Weinberg (Princeton University)

Abstract: In a combinatorial auction there are m items, and each of n players has a valuation function v_i which maps sets of items to non-negative reals. A designer wishes […]

Theory Seminar- Aaron Roth (University of Pennsylvania)

Abstract: Dawid gives two conceptualizations for models of individual probabilities: “Group to Individual” and “Individual to Group”. A classical concern about the “Group to Individual” view of probability is the […]
