Human Computation
Google TechTalks July 26, 2006 Luis von Ahn is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where he also received his Ph.D. in 2005. Previously, Luis obtained a BS in mathematics from Duke University in 2000. He is the recipient of a Microsoft Research Fellowship. ABSTRACT Tasks like image recognition are trivial for humans, but continue to challenge even the most sophisticated computer programs. This talk introduces a paradigm for utilizing human processing power to solve problems that computers cannot yet solve. Traditional approaches to solving such problems focus on improving software. I advocate a novel approach: constructively channel human...

Cory Doctorow: The coming war on general computation [28C3]
The coming war on general computation The copyright war was just the beginning The last 20 years of Internet policy have been dominated by the copyright war, but the war turns out only to have been a skirmish. The coming century will be dominated by war against the general purpose computer, and the stakes are the freedom, fortune and privacy of the entire human race. The problem is twofold: first, there is no known general-purpose computer that can execute all the programs we can think of except the naughty ones; second, general-purpose computers have replaced every other device in our world. There are no airplanes, only computers that fly. There are no cars, only computers we sit in. There are no hearing aids, only computers we put in our ears. There are no 3D printers, only computers that drive peripherals. There are no radios, only computers with fast ADCs and DACs and phased-array antennas. Consequently anything you do to "secure" anything with a computer in it ends up undermining the capabilities and security of every other corner of modern human society. And general purpose computers can cause harm -- whether it's printing out AR15 components, causing mid-air collisions, or snarling traffic. So the number of parties with legitimate grievances against computers are going to continue to multiply, as will the cries to regulate PCs. The primary regulatory impulse is to use combinations of code-signing and other "trust" mechanisms to create computers that run programs ...

Disk-Based Parallel Computation, Rubik's Cube, and Checkpointing
Google Tech Talks March, 24 2008 ABSTRACT This talk takes us on a journey through three varied, but interconnected topics. First, our research lab has engaged in a series of disk-based computations extending over five years. Disks have traditionally been used for filesystems, for virtual memory, and for databases. Disk-based computation opens up an important fourth use: an abstraction for multiple disks that allows parallel programs to treat them in a manner similar to RAM. The key observation is that 50 disks have approximately the same parallel bandwidth as a _single_ RAM subsystem. This leaves latency as the primary concern. A second key is the use of techniques like delayed duplicate detection to avoid latency. For example, hash accesses accesses can be saved (even saved on disk), until there are sufficiently many pending accesses to use standard streaming techniques. We have designed a library for search problems that exploits the high parallel bandwidth while hiding the latency. We build abstractions for search that employ parallel disk-based hash arrays with the same speed as a single hash array in a single RAM subsystem. In the case of Rubik's cube, we exploited this mechanism by using seven terabytes of distributed disk in a search problem that showed that 26 moves suffice to solve Rubik's cube. Our initial efforts emphasize idempotent operations, so that we can easily recover from hardware or software faults. We next intend to apply a more general solution for ...

TEDxCaltech - Charlie Marcus - Nanoelectronics and Quantum Computation
Charlie Marcus is Professor of Physics at Harvard. His research focuses on fabrication of submicron electronic structures -- semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and graphene-based microstructures -- and measurement of their electron transport properties at low temperatures. His scientific interests include mesoscopic quantum phenomena, at the interface between micro and macro scales -- where quantum properties coexist with disorder and decoherence. Charlie's current research includes investigations of spin-based qubits for quantum information processing, and schemes for topological quantum computing based on the fractional quantum Hall effect. He is also exploring the use of quantum dots in medical imaging, focusing primarily on novel materials as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.

Efficient, Secrecy-Preserving, Provably Correct Computation (and Some Cool Ap...
Google Tech Talks July, 21 2008 ABSTRACT Cryptography is now much more than keeping credit card numbers safe from packet sniffers and laptop thieves. We combine several advances in cryptography theory to construct a model of computation in which a third party securely performs computations for a set of parties who do not trust one another. These parties encrypt their inputs to a computation, then circulate the encrypted values. Our third party decrypts them, performs the computation and then issues correctness proofs of the results: we cryptographically "tie its hands" to do the right thing. In addition to this model of provably correct computation, we will discuss other techniques to control the information flow of secret data to and from the party, so even the third party cannot profitably abuse the secret data before or after it knows it during the computation. Finally, we will illustrate the power of these techniques in e-commerce, and our design decisions, through secure electronic auctions and securities exchanges. Speaker: Dc. Christopher Thorpe Dr. Christopher Thorpe is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who recently completed a Ph.D. in computer science from Harvard, advised by Michael Rabin and David Parkes.

Efficient Cell Labelling and Path Non-existence Computation Using C-obstacle Query #1
We present a simple algorithm to check for path non-existence for a low-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot among static obstacles. Our algorithm is based on approximate cell decomposition of configuration space or C-space. We use C-obstacle cell query to check whether a cell lies entirely inside the C-obstacle region. This reduces the path non-existence problem to checking whether a path exists through the set of all cells that do not lie entirely inside the C-obstacle region. We present a simple and efficient algorithm to perform C-obstacle cell query using generalized penetration depth computation. Our algorithm is simple to implement and we demonstrate its performance on three-DOF and four-DOF robots [Liangjun Zhang, Young J. Kim, and Dinesh Manocha]. gamma.cs.unc.edu

Computational Analysis Methods and Issues in Human Cognitive Neuroscience
Google Tech Talk January 14, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Bradley Voytek. There is a massive, relatively uncoordinated effort underway to map out the relationship between brain and behavior. Human neuroimaging experiments abound with approximately 30000 neuroimaging studies performed in 2008 alone. Most of the data from these experiments are analyzed on an individual desktop or small, local cluster. Neuroimaging data contains information about neural activity in both time and space and can easily exceed 1GB per subject. In order to analyze the functional properties of neuronal networks these data can be decomposed in a variety of ways (behavioral condition, principal and independent components, phase and frequency components, graphs and digraphs, etc.). This exponentially increases analysis time and database sizes creating bottlenecks in the analysis work flow. I will discuss a variety of neuroimaging methods in terms of the sources of the signals measured, what these signals actually inform us about how the brain gives rise to cognition and behavior, and how this information can inform medical diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore I will highlight how advances in computational processing have improved data analysis and discuss the computational roadblocks that impede research progress.

How to compute a Fourier series: an example
Free ebook tinyurl.com This video is a demonstration on how to compute a Fourier series of a simple given function. I discuss how to calculate the Fourier coefficients through integration and the simplifications involved. Fourier series are an important area of applied mathematics, engineering and physics that are used in solving partial differential equations, such as the heat equation and the wave equation. Fourier series are named after J. Fourier, a French mathematician who was the first to correctly model the diffusion of heat. Fourier series are seen in 2nd-year university mathematics.
