• Around Hilbert’s Tenth Problem

    Speaker: Mihai Prunescu (University of Bucharest) Abstract: We discuss different implications of the negative answer of Hilbert's Tenth Problem: the exponential Diophantine equation over ℕ and ℚ, the minimal number of variables which lead to an undecidable problem over ℤ, the homogeneous Diophantine problem over ℤ.

  • Blockchain – Intro

    Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 219

    Speaker:  Ruxandra Olimid (University of Bucharest) Abstract: Short (crypto) introduction in Blockchain. Mostly a reading group, discussing the original bitcoin paper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

  • Anti-Malware Machine Learning

    Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 202

    Speaker: Andra Băltoiu (University of Bucharest) Abstract: In a previous seminar, we introduced Dictionary Learning (DL), a machine learning method capable of handling the requirements of IoT-related tasks, motivated by its reduced computational complexity, theoretical guarantees and its applicability to continuous retraining contexts. We now discuss the task of training different machine learning and DL

  • An introduction to hybrid-dynamic first-order logic

    Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 202

    Speaker: Ionuţ Ţuţu (Royal Holloway, University of London) Abstract: We propose a hybrid-dynamic first-order logic as a formal foundation for specifying and reasoning about reconfigurable systems. As the name suggests, the formalism we develop extends (many-sorted) first-order logic with features that are common to hybrid and to dynamic logics. This provides certain key advantages for

  • Protocols in Dynamic Epistemic Logic

    Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 202

    Speaker:  Alexandru Dragomir (University of Bucharest) Abstract: Dynamic epistemic logics are useful in reasoning about knowledge and certain acts of learning (epistemic actions). However, not all epistemic actions are allowed to be executed in an initial epistemic model, and this is where the concept of a protocol comes in: a protocol stipulates what epistemic actions

  • Dynamic Code Analysis

    Speaker:  Radu Velea (BitDefender) Abstract: Static code analysis methods have the advantage of providing deterministic and reliable results. Malware has evolved beyond the point where simple pattern matching algorithms or signatures can provide adequate levels of protection. To respond to new threats we have to look at other hidden aspects such as execution behavior and

  • Anomaly Detection Reading Group: Deep OC-SVM

    Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 202

    Speaker: Andrei Pătrașcu (University of Bucharest) Abstract: Recent empirical results confirm that one-class (OC) classification methods remain among the most important learning strategies for anomaly detection. In this seminar, we will technically describe in detail multiple basic OC schemes such as OC-SVM and SVDD and their deep variants, in order to identify room of improvements

  • Anomaly Detection Reading Group: Deep RPCA
