Data systems are known for their complexity; they contain a vast number of features and configuration parameters to support different use cases. As no single data system can efficiently process all workload types, administrators face a daunting task:

Convexity plays a prominent role in both mathematics and computer science. It is defined for sets and functions, and many problems related to them can be solved efficiently given the guarantee that the set/function is convex. In this thesis, we focus on three problems related to convexity where we don’t have that guarantee.

Incoming master’s student Sabrina Mokhtari has received a 2022–23 Vector Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence from the Vector Institute. These merit-based scholarships provide $17,500 for one year of full-time study and are awarded to exceptional students who have been admitted into an AI-related master’s program in an Ontario university.
