PhD Defence • Machine Learning | Natural Language Processing • Less is More: Restricted Representations for Better Interpretability and Generalizability

Please note: This PhD defence will take place online.

Zhiying (Gin) Jiang, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Jimmy Lin

In this thesis, we aim at improving interpretability and generalizability through restricting representations. We choose to approach interpretability by focusing on attribution analysis to understand which features contribute to prediction on BERT, and to approach generalizability by focusing on effective methods in low-data regime.

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Data Systems • Efficient Geo-Distributed Transaction Processing

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will take place online.

Joshua Hildred, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Khuzaima Daudjee

Distributed deterministic database systems support OLTP workloads over geo-replicated data. Providing these transactions with ACID guarantees requires a delay of multiple wide-area network (WAN) round trips of messaging to totally order transactions globally.
