Algorithms Seminar - Title: EE 388 Modern Coding Theory - Instructor: Prof. A. Montanari
WhenThu, April 2, 12:30pm – 1:30pm

DescriptionClass Times and Locations * Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:35-02:05 PM in Room: Gates 380-380D Course Description Tools for analysis and optimization of iterative coding systems. LDPC, turbo and RA codes. Optimized ensembles, message passing algorithms, density evolution, and analytic techniques. References The course is mainly based on T. Richardson and R. Urbanke, Modern Coding Theory Additional references are M. Mezard and A. Montanari, Information, Physics, and Computation R. G. Gallager, Low Density Parity Check Codes Prerequisites The prerequisite mentioned in the bulletin is EE376A (Information Theory.) If you did not take EE376A, this is not a problem. On the other hand, it is important to know some basic probability (say, enough probability for understanding a proof of the central limit theorem.) Webpage: http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee388/

DescriptionAlso speaking 4/3 , 12:00 noon "Turing and Artificial Life" The Wasow Scholar Lunch Seminar ABSTRACT: "Creativity and Computers" (4/2, SSP Forum, 4:15 pm): Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas that are new, surprising, and valuable. It doesn't happen by magic, but involves psychological processes that can be described by science. There are three ways of generating creative ideas: combinational, exploratory, and transformational. Each of these can be modelled, at least up to a point, in computers. Surprisingly, perhaps, combinational creativity is the least easy to model. Also surprisingly, the main problem in modelling transformational creativity is not generating the transformations, but evaluating the results. Computational concepts can help us to understand how creativity is possible. But no scientific psychology (with or without neuroscience) could predict every new idea--nor even explain every one in detail, post hoc.

DescriptionAlso speaking 4/2 , 4:15 PM "Creativity and Computers" - The Annual Symbolic Systems Distinguished Speaker Lecture, Symbolic Systems Forum "Turing and Artificial Life" Margaret Boden, Univ. of Sussex ABSTRACT "Turing and Artificial Life" (4/3, 12 noon): In his 1950 paper in MIND, in which he introduced the Turing Test, Alan Turing mentioned two ideas that would eventually be hugely important in A-Life. These were evolutionary computing, and the fourfold classification of computational systems that was later clarified by Stephen Wolfram. However, he merely remarked on these in passing, while setting out his (hugely prescient) manifesto for a future AI. With respect to A-Life, his last published paper, on "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" (1952) was much more important. He showed there how a homogeneous source, such as an undifferentiated ovum, could spontaneously self-organize, producing new forms of order where none existed before. This could happen by way of familiar physical laws, or "reaction-diffusion systems", wherein chemicals diffuse and inter-react so as to generate patterns of concentration that could act as the basis of anatomical/morphological structures (e.g. stripes and dappling, or petals/tentacles/segments). Over thirty years later, computer power (and computer graphics) had advanced enough for Turing's equations to be explored beyond the very simple examples that he could deal with in the early 1950s, and for generating novel patterns out of pre-existing patterns (as opposed to homogeneity).

WherePackard Building, room 101 escriptionMeet, Greet, and Eat What the MySQL is this anyway? An introduction to a five letter phenomenon and why you should care. WHERE: Stanford, Packard 101 WHEN: Thursday, April 16 - 6-7pm WHO: Colin Charles, Sun/MySQL Community Relations Manager of APAC WHY: Learn about Sun / MySQL / OpenSource Free Food and Giveaways Provided Seating is Limited! Colin Charles is the Community Relations Manager, APAC at MySQL/The Database Group, Sun Microsystems. He lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (after having moved from Melbourne, Australia in April 2008) and has been with MySQL since 2005. Before joining MySQL, he worked actively on the Fedora and OpenOffice.org projects. He currently spends a lot of his time making community-based projects happy using the MySQL database. His main role is to deal with distributions shipping MySQL, but he’s also co-ordinated the MySQL participation in the Google Summer of Code. He’s spoken at many conferences – linux.conf.au, The MySQL Conference & Expo, foss.in
