Agenda Eventos

Abstract: A partir de su experiencia en la elaboración e implementación de la agenda anticorrupción en la Comisión Engel, Daniel García (Director Ejecutivo) y Miguel Jorquera (Investigador), expondrán sobre estrategias para que los trabajos sobre investigación académica logren influir en la opinión pública, con el objetivo de convertirse en políticas que contribuyan a mejorarla calidad…

Fecha: Jueves 6 de diciembre a las 10:30am. Lugar: P303 – Auditorio Philippe Flajolet, Beauchef 851 AI and Social Media for Disaster Response and Associated Challenges Abstract: Sudden-onset emergencies such as natural or man-made disasters bring uncertainties in which time-critical information needs emerge from formal response organizations, affected communities and other concerned population. The growing adaption…

Viernes 23/11/2018 Sala Philippe Flajolet, DCC UChile 12.00 horas. Cheminformatics meets the Linked Data and SKOS Abstract: Cheminformatics is evolving from being an area of study associated mainly with drug discovery into a discipline that holds the access, management, store, and sharing of chemical data. In this field, there is a lack of truly interoperable…

Abstract: The dynamics of attention in social media tend to obey power laws. Attention concentrates on a relatively small number of popular items neglecting the vast majority of content produced by the crowd. Although popularity can be an indication of the perceived value of an item within its community, previous research has highlighted the gap…

Abstract: In a groundbreaking series of articles, Craig Gentry proposed in 2009 the first fully homomorphic encryption scheme. In the first variation of the scheme, secret keys are bases of polynomial ideal lattices, which provide algebraic structures that can be exploited by an attacker. In this talk, we introduce the Adaptively Learning the Parallelepiped problem…

ABSTRACT. Information Retrieval and Recommender Systems have been frequently evaluated using indexes based on variants and extensions of precision-like measures. Likewise, approaches for diversity evaluation have been proposed. However, these measures are usually defined in terms of a set of high level content descriptors known as \textit{information nuggets} that are hard to obtain. We propose…

ABSTRACT: Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a fundamental method in the text mining field. We propose strategies for topic and model selection based on LDA that exploits the semantic coherence of the topics inferred, boosting the quality of the models found. Then we study how our boosted topic models perform in ad-hoc information retrieval tasks….

Prior to joining U of T in 2004, McIlraith spent six years as a Research Scientist at Stanford University, and one year at Xerox PARC. McIlraith is…

Promover el ingreso de mujeres a carreras ligadas a la informática, así como visibilizar su quehacer e investigaciones en el área, son algunos de los objetivos del VII Chile WIC “Encuentro Chileno de Mujeres en Computación”, actividad organizada por la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María -a través de su Departamento de Informática- junto con las…

Abstract: In Latin America, shopping malls seem to offer and open, safe and democratic version of the public space. However, it is often difficult to quantitatively measure whether they indeed foster, hinder or are neutral with respect to social inclusion. In this talk we present that, by using mobile phone network records, we can provide…

Abstract: Many optimization problems are NP-hard and therefore we do not expect to find algorithms for them that are efficient, i.e., run in polynomial time, and find the optimal solution for any given instance. Therefore, we are interested in approximation algorithms which are algorithms that run in polynomial time and provably find solutions that differ…

Abstract: Usualmente asumimos que en una democracia moderna las personas poseen acceso a derechos básicos de ciudadanía civil, política y social. Sin dicho acceso, la agencia democrática se vuelve problemática. En base a datos de la encuesta LAPOP, y al trabajo con más de 100 mil observaciones para el período 2012-2016, Juan Pablo Luna y…
