PhD Seminar • Artificial Intelligence • Less is More: Parameter-Free Text Classification with Gzip

Please note: This PhD seminar will take place online.

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

Supervisor: Professor Jimmy Lin

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are often used for text classification due to their high accuracy. However, DNNs can be computationally intensive, requiring millions of parameters and large amounts of labeled data, which can make them expensive to use, to optimize, and to transfer to out-of-distributed (OOD) cases in practice.

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Systems and Networking • Understanding NUMA Effects on Memory Allocation and Reclamation

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

Daewoo Kim, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Trevor Brown

Memory management in multicore systems is a well studied area. Many approaches to memory management have been developed and tuned with specific hardware architectures in mind, capitalizing on hardware characteristics to improve performance. In this thesis, the focus is on memory allocation and reclamation in multicore systems.
