David Radke, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisors: Professors Kate Larson, Tim Brecht

While it has long been recognized that a team of individual learning agents can be greater than the sum of its parts, recent work has shown that larger teams are not necessarily more effective than smaller ones.

Matt D’Souza, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Ondřej Lhoták

Parametric polymorphism, also known as generics, is an abstraction that lets programmers define code that behaves independently of the types of values it operates on. Generics is a useful abstraction to enable code reuse and improve the maintainability of software projects.

Greg Philbrick, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Craig Kaplan

This paper treats the subject of pseudo-3D modeling (via drawing in projective coordinates). I'll talk about the authors’ methods, as well as my own exploration of pseudo-3D drawing techniques.

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1304 and virtually over Zoom.

Given a square matrix B' over a (commutative) ring S, the null ideal N_0(B') is the ideal consisting of all polynomials f in S[X] for which f(B')=0. In the case that S=R/J is the residue class ring of a ring R modulo an ideal J, we can equivalently study the so-called J-ideals

N_J(B) =  { f in  R[X]  |  f(B) in M_n(J) }
