In this talk, we discuss the stochastic vertex cover problem. In this problem, G is an arbitrary known graph, and G* is an unknown random subgraph of G containing each of its edges independently with a known probability p. Edges of G* can only be verified using edge queries. The goal in this problem is to find a minimum vertex cover of G* using a small number of queries.

Despite several works that succeed in generating synthetic data with differential privacy (DP) guarantees, they are inadequate for generating high-quality synthetic data when the input data has missing values.

We have begun grappling with difficult questions related to the rise of AI, including: What rights do individuals have in the age of AI? When should we regulate AI and when should we abstain? What degree of transparency is needed to monitor AI systems? These questions are all concerned with AI accountability: determining who owes responsibility and to whom in the age of AI.

Xupeng Miao, Postdoctoral Researcher
Computer Science Department, Carnegie Mellon University

In this talk, I will introduce my work on machine learning (ML) parallelization, a critical endeavor to bridge the significant gap between diverse ML programs and multitiered computing architectures. Specifically, I will explore ML parallelization at three distinct yet interconnected levels.

CS/FINE 383 is a third-year studio course where students work in an interdisciplinary environment to combine computer science principles with fine art technical and conceptual skills. Experience novel computational art works and aesthetic experiences using generative agents, advanced computer vision, distributed computing, and more.
