Master’s Thesis Presentation • Data Systems • Dowsing For Math Answers: Exploring MathCQA with a Math-aware Search Engine

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Yin Ki Ng, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Distinguished Professor Emeritus Frank Tompa

Solving math problems can be challenging, so challenging that one might wish to seek insights from the Internet and search for answers from Community Question Answering sites such as Math StackExchange. However, searching for relevant answers for a math problem is itself not trivial.

Seminar • Systems and Networking • Co-designing Distributed Systems and Storage Stacks for Reliability and Performance

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Ram Alagappan, Postdoctoral researcher
VMware Research Group

Distributed storage systems form the core of modern cloud services. Like many systems software, these systems are built using layering: system designers use distributed protocols (e.g., Paxos, 2PC) and layer them upon local storage engines (e.g., RocksDB, SQLite). Such layering abstracts details about the storage stack to the layers above, easing development.
