Program:

Group "Big Data Systems"

Systems for Big Data (X-INF583)

Go to course webpage. This course is taught by Angelos Anadiotis / Yanlei Diao.

The course follows X-INF553 and covers topics on concurrency control, parallel, and distributed data processing, storage layouts, and execution models. The course takes a systems-oriented approach and first explains the effect of different parts of the computer architecture to the query execution. Then, it moves to the fundamentals of parallelisation, including threads, processes and low-level synchronisation, before it moves to the coordination of transactions, both in scale-up and scale-out settings. After synchronisation, the course focuses on data analytics, by starting from low-level issues like memory layouts and their interaction with query operators and finally moves towards well-established scale-out platforms like Hadoop and Spark. This course will be scheduled on Friday afternoon on X's calendar from January to March.

Prerequisites: The main background knowledge required for INF583 includes the relational operators, SQL, storage, and transaction processing. We also expect that they are aware of notions such as query plans and query optimisation, even though INF583 will not build on top of them, except a very small part of it. These prerequisites can be fulfilled by a typical database class such as INF553 (more in depth) or SD202 (more lightweight).

Topological Data Analysis (X-INF556)

Go to course webpage. This course is taught by Steve Oudot.

Objectives : Topological Data Analysis is an emerging trend in exploratory data analysis and data mining. It has known a growing interest and some notable successes in the recent years. The idea is to use topological tools to tackle challenging data sets, in particular data sets for which the observations lie on or close to non­trivial geometric structures that can fool classical techniques. Topological methods are indeed able to extract useful information about these geometric structures from the data, and to exploit that information to enhance the analysis pipeline. The objective of this course is to familiarize the students with this new topic lying at the confluence of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and computer science. Emphasis is put on the methods and on their theoretical guarantees. Meanwhile, the lab sessions focus on challenging data sets, primarily multimedia data sets such as collections of images or 3d shapes. Content : The course is divided into nine lectures and nine exercise or lab sessions. These cover the main mathematical concepts and algorithmic tools involved in topological data analysis. The topics covered include: dimensionality reduction and its limitations, hierarchical versus density-based clustering, simplicial and singular homology, persistence theory, topological inference for data exploration, topological signatures for data classification, Reeb graphs and Mapper. Suggested readings: Gunnar Carlsson. Topology and Data, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society Herbert Edelsbrunner and John Harer, Computational Topoogy: An Introduction, AMS press

Introduction to the verification of neural networks (2X-INF641)

This course is taught by Sylvie Putot, Eric Goubault.

Neural networks are widely used in numerous applications including safety-critical ones such as control and planning for autonomous systems. A central question is how to verify that they are correct with respect to some specification. Beyond correctness or robustness, we are also interested in questions such as explainability and fairness, that can in turn be specified as formal verification problems. In this course, we will see how formal methods approaches introduced in the context of program verification can be leveraged to address the verification of neural networks. Dates for 2022 : all day for all Mondays of January : 09/01, 16/01, 23/01, 30/01. BEWARE, despite being hosted at X, this course is only 24h so 2.5 ECTS!
