The tradeoff between performance and correctness is pervasive across computer systems such as shared-memory multiprocessors, databases, and local file systems. The same tradeoff exists in distributed storage systems as well; designers must often choose consistency or performance but not both. In this talk, I will show how we can build distributed storage systems that provide strong guarantees yet also perform well.

Given a graph G, network embedding maps each node in G into a compact, fixed-dimensional feature vector, which can be used in downstream machine learning tasks. Most of the existing methods for network embedding fail to scale to large graphs with millions of nodes, as they either incur significant computation cost or generate low-quality embeddings on such graphs.
