Michael Oberst Abstract: How do we make machine learning as rigorously tested and reliable as any medication or diagnostic test? Machine learning (ML) has the potential to improve decision-making…
Victor A. Ying Abstract:Parallelization is critical to fast computation, but it remains a painstaking and piecemeal practice. This dissertation shows how new compilers and hardware can make parallelization…
Yujie Qian Abstract: Structured documents, such as scientific literature and medical records, are rich resources of knowledge. However, most natural language processing techniques treat these documents as plain…
Lillian Chin Abstract:Current robot designers often treat a robot’s body as merely a vessel to transport the brain, limiting the potential scope of “embodied intelligence” that is unique…
Frank Cangialosi Abstract: As video cameras have become pervasive in public settings and accurate computer vision has become commonplace, there has been increasing interest in collecting and processing…
Yichen Yang Abstract: Research in game theory has surfaced many interesting phenomena on how strategic players interact in various game settings. In this thesis, I consider two topics…
R’mani Haulcy Abstract: Previous research has shown that speech can be used to detect cognitive impairment in patients with dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases produce cognitive deficits…
The MIT professor focuses on efficient, sublinear, and streaming algorithms, with innovative research addressing issues in large data and high-dimensional geometry, which relates to the geometry of spaces with more than three dimensions.
The prize recognizes early-to-mid-career computer scientists who have made key research contributions to the field, such as Kalai’s influence on modern cryptographic practices.
