PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Sandeep Polisetty, Abstractions to Eliminate Redundancy in Training Graph Neural Networks on GPUs
In the first part of my thesis, I introduce split parallelism, a novel
abstraction that addresses the limitations of traditional data parallelism on GPUs.
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Hao Shi, Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Flexible Persistent Transactional WebAssembly Runtime System
This dissertation proposes integrating transactional memory directly into a WebAssembly runtime system for persistent memory programming.
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Pracheta Amaranath, The Interface of Simulation and Causal Modeling
This thesis investigates the interplay between simulation and causal inference, focusing on how causal modeling can enhance simulation and vice versa.
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Mengxue Zhang, AI-Driven Analysis, Scoring, and Generation for Open-Ended Mathematical Reasoning
This thesis addresses these limitations by developing a comprehensive framework for the automated assessment of open-ended mathematical responses.
PhD Dissertation Proposal: Juan Altmayer Pizzorno, Efficient and Effective Test Generation and Type Inference for Python Applications
In this dissertation, I explore how lightweight dynamic analysis can be used to improve the reliability of Python software.
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Aimen Gaba, Natural Language and Visual Design Can Influence Trust and Bias Perception in AI
Gaba's dissertation explores the role of natural language and visualization design in shaping users' perceptions of bias in ML systems and its impact on trust.
PhD Dissertation Proposal: Ashish Singh, Side-Information Guided Open-World Novelty Detection
In this thesis, I address this challenge across several computer vision problems by developing methods that adapt standard models to the open world.
PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense: Ankita Gupta, Understanding Argumentative and Persuasive Texts at Scale
Policy and legal argumentation spans thousands of public comments, book pages, and judicial opinions covering decades of United States public discourse.
PhD Dissertation Proposal: Ignacio Gavier, Overcoming Data and Energy Challenges in Wearable IMU-based Learning
This thesis addresses IMU data scarcity and energy constraints.
