[Archimedes Talks Series] Scaling Data Science, For All

Dates
2024-10-11 12:00 - 14:00
Venue
Artemidos 1 - Amphitheater
Title: Scaling Data Science, For All

Abstract: Scaling out data science workloads is critical for getting
results on ancient texts, climate change, or vaccine development in
minutes or hours—not weeks or years. This kind of scaleout, however,
requires not only expertise on scalable computing paradigms but also
burdensome effort to manually scale out each computation. In this talk
I will present a family of software systems automatically scaling out
data science workloads. Central among these systems are a just-in-time
compiler that blends static pre-processing with dynamic interposition,
a high-level component specification framework, and a collection of
high-performance runtime primitives that support parallel and
distributed program execution. Combined, they achieve
order-of-magnitude speedups on unmodified data-science workloads,
offer strong correctness and compatibility guarantees, and remain
virtually indistinguishable from (and require no modifications to) the
underlying language runtime. These systems have received multiple
awards, are worked on by several institutions, and are open-source
software available by the Linux Foundation.

Bio: Nikos Vasilakis is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at
Brown University and an Affiliate with Brown's Data Science Institute.
His research includes software systems, programming languages, and
security — and has been recognized by several distinguished paper
awards. His current focus is on automatically transforming systems to
add new capabilities such as parallelism, distribution, and security —
against a variety of threat models. Prof. Vasilakis is also the chair of the
Technical Steering Committee behind PaSh, a shell-script optimization
system hosted by the Linux Foundation. More: https://nikos.vasilak.is

Mission

To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world

 

Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

Archimedes Workshop on Dialect NLP

Archimedes Workshop on Dialect NLP

Upcoming workshop on Dialect NLP on “Standardization and Variation for Dialect Varieties with Universal Dependencies as an Application Framework” coming up. We are excited to announce that the Dialect NLP team at Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece, is organizing a workshop in collaboration with the MaiNLP Research Lab at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich.

 
 

The project “ARCHIMEDES Unit: Research in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Algorithms” with code OPS 5154714 is implemented by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
