Abstract: Many real-world systems are most naturally modelled by “multi-layer” networks, which allow for different types of connections between entities; it is therefore important to develop efficient algorithms to extract information from such networks. However, most existing results concerning the structural properties of graphs/networks which allow us to solve NP-hard problems efficiently consider only the … Kitty Meeks (Glasgow): Exploiting structure in multi-layer networks: a case study on motif counting (School Seminar)

Abstract: Usable security is about exploring the relationship between the tools which are supposed to keep people safe and the ways that people interact with them. In this talk, I will be discussing two of my recent projects: URL readability and reasons for avoiding software updates. URLs are a nearly ubiquitous method of telling another … Kami Vaniea (Edinburgh): Usable Security: From URLs to Updates (School Seminar)

Abstract: This talk concentrates on our efforts over the years to make the harvesting of relevant data from mobile devices accurate and efficient, to allow on device data interpretation and to produce models able to interpret the data so that it can be exploited for a wide range of applications. In this sense I will … Cecilia Mascolo (Cambridge): Systems, Models and Learning: From mobile devices to mobile data (School Seminar)
