A Code Generation Framework To Replicate Software Design Concepts
Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. George Heineman, Associate Professor, Computer Science - Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Talk Title: A Code Generation Framework To Replicate Software Design Concepts
Abstract: In 1998, Philip Wadler used the term Expression Problem (EP) to describe a common situation that occurs when devising software that must evolve, specifically with regard to the structure of the data types and the operations over these data types. Over time, software engineers extend systems by adding new data types and/or new operations, and the goal is to avoid changing existing code as part of the extension. Dozens of researchers have investigated approaches to EP using a variety of programming languages. The papers from the research literature often contain only small code fragments and the lack of a common benchmark makes it difficult to compare different approaches with each other. We designed EpCoGen, a code generation framework, to replicate the results of numerous papers using a rich benchmark domain of mathematical expressions. While it was not our intention, in completing this project, we devised a novel CoCo approach to EP based on Covariant Conversions. This result would not have been possible without the meticulous effort in both developing a comprehensive benchmark and trying to replicate existing results from the literature. We generate fully coded solutions in Java, Scala and Haskell, with accompanying test cases, for nine different approaches to EP using a language-independent code generation framework (CoGen) that can be expanded to include additional languages and approaches.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.
Biography: George Heineman is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts. His research interests include component-based software engineering, modularity, code generation, and algorithms. He is the author of Algorithms in a Nutshell (2ed, O’Reilly Media, 2016), Learning Algorithms (O’Reilly Media, 2021), and an online training video course, Coding Interview Preparation: Learn to Solve Algorithms Problem to Land Your Next Software Role (O’Reilly Media, 2024). George is also an avid puzzler with a lifelong interest in logical and mathematical puzzles. He is the inventor of Sujiken® puzzles (a variation of Sudoku), Trexiken puzzles (a variation of Ken-Ken®) and the online https://wordygame.net, if you are ready to try a more challenging word puzzle than Wordle.

CSC/CommNetS-MHI Seminar: Lauren Conger
Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Lauren Conger, PhD Candidate, Control and Dynamical Systems, Caltech
Talk Title: Wasserstein Gradient Flows for Modeling Strategic Distribution Shift
Series: CSC/CommNetS-MHI Seminar Series
Abstract: We propose a novel framework for analyzing the dynamics of distribution shift in real-world systems that captures the feedback loop between learning algorithms and the distributions on which they are deployed. We propose a coupled partial differential equation model that captures fine-grained changes in the distribution over time by accounting for complex dynamics that arise due to strategic responses to algorithmic decision-making, non-local endogenous population interactions, and other exogenous sources of distribution shift. We prove convergence results in 3 settings for min-max optimization problems over measures, as well as in a cooperative setting, addressing a recent open problem posed in (Wang and Chizat 2024, Convergence of single-timescale mean-field Langevin descent-ascent for two-player zero-sum games).
Biography: Lauren Conger is a PhD candidate in Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech, advised by Franca Hoffmann, Eric Mazumdar, and John Doyle. Her research is at the intersection of partial differential equations (PDE) analysis, game theory, and control theory. She studies systems of gradient flow PDEs through the lens of game theory with applications in machine learning, and works on system level synthesis, a new control parameterization, in a variety of contexts, including distributed optimization and PDE control.

Computational Science Distinguished Seminar Series
Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 03:45 PM - 05:00 PM
USC School of Advanced Computing
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Youssef Marzouk, MIT
Talk Title: Transport methods for Bayesian inference and optimal experimental design
Abstract: Measure transport has emerged as a versatile tool in probabilistic modeling and inference, offering a unifying perspective on various computational challenges. This talk explores the core principles of transport maps and their ability to induce couplings between probability measures, facilitating efficient simulation and analysis. We will survey the diverse landscape of transport representations, from polynomials and invertible neural networks to ODE flow maps, highlighting how these constructions capture different notions of low-dimensional structure in probabilistic models.
The presentation will then focus on recent advancements in two key areas:
1. Nonlinear ensemble filtering: This talk explores novel transport-based algorithms that generalize the ensemble Kalman filter to nonlinear settings, offering improved performance in challenging filtering problems.
2. Simulation-based inference: We will investigate how transport maps can be leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of inference in scenarios where only forward simulations are available.
Additionally, this talk explores the application of transport-based density estimates in bounding information-theoretic objectives for optimal experimental design, demonstrating the broad utility of this framework in decision-making under uncertainty.
Biography: Youssef Marzouk is the Breene M. Kerr (1951) Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and co-director of the Center for Computational Science and Engineering within the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. He is also a core member of MIT's Statistics and Data Science Center and a PI in the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).
His research interests lie at the intersection of statistical inference, computational mathematics, and physical modeling. He develops new methodologies for uncertainty quantification, Bayesian computation, and machine learning in complex physical systems, motivated by a broad range of engineering and science applications. His recent work has centered on algorithms for inference, with applications to data assimilation and inverse problems; dimension reduction methodologies for high-dimensional learning and surrogate modeling; optimal experimental design; and transportation of measure as a tool for inference and stochastic modeling.
He received his SB, SM, and PhD degrees from MIT and spent four years at Sandia National Laboratories before joining the MIT faculty in 2009. He is also an avid coffee drinker and an occasional classical pianist.
