Vladimir Braverman received a Best Paper Award at FAST ’19
Load balancing is critical for distributed storage to meet strict service-level objectives (SLOs). It has been shown that a fast cache can guarantee load balancing for a clustered storage system. However, when the system scales out to multiple clusters, the fast cache itself would become the bottleneck. Traditional mechanisms like cache
Carey Priebe’s paper “On a `Two Truths’ Phenomenon in Spectral Graph Clustering” has been accepted for publication at PNAS
Clustering is concerned with coherently grouping observations without any explicit concept of true groupings. Spectral graph clustering – clustering the vertices of a graph based on their spectral embedding – is commonly approached via K-means (or, more generally, Gaussian mixture model) clustering composed with either Laplacian or Adjacency spectral embedding (LSE
Five papers from professors Arora and Vidal’s teams have been accepted for presentation at ICML 2018
ICML is the leading international machine learning conference and is supported by the International Machine Learning Society (IMLS). The 35th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2018) will be held in Stockholm, Sweden from Tuesday, July 10 to Sunday, July 15, 2018. The conference will consist of one day of tutorials (July 10),
QnAs with Donald Geman
With the proliferation of “omics” technologies, personalized medicine—which tailors treatment to an individual’s genomic profile—promised a revolution in care. That revolution, says applied mathematician Donald Geman, has been slow to arrive. Geman has spent nearly four decades devising statistical methods for a variety of applications. He recently teamed up with an
Suchi Saria selected as Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow
Suchi Saria, a member of the MINDS faculty, was recently selected as a 2018 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in Computer Science. Saria is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and also a member of the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare. The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation awards 126 fellowships each
Johns Hopkins-led team aims to turn computer systems into digital detectives
Imagine an embassy bombing. Consider the massive amount and varied types of data that investigators need to review to determine who carried out the attack and how it was accomplished. Such a probe could involve the slow, painstaking examinations of video footage, photos, internet communications, telephone records, and other material. An
