Seminar • Scientific Computing — Sympiler: Transforming Sparse Computations

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Kazem Cheshmi, Department of Computer Science
University of Toronto

Sparse matrix computations are an important class of algorithms frequently used in scientific simulations such as computer graphics and weather modeling as well as in data analytics codes and machine learning computations. The performance of these simulations relies heavily on the high-efficient implementations of sparse computations.

DSG Seminar Series • Efficient Network Embeddings for Large Graphs

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Xiaokui Xiao, School of Computing
National University of Singapore

Given a graph G, network embedding maps each node in G into a compact, fixed-dimensional feature vector, which can be used in downstream machine learning tasks. Most of the existing methods for network embedding fail to scale to large graphs with millions of nodes, as they either incur significant computation cost or generate low-quality embeddings on such graphs.
