Dawand’s abstract The concept of using cloud hosted infrastructure as a means to overcome the resource-constraints of mobile devices is known as Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), and allows applications to run partially on the device, and partially on a remote cloud instance, thereby overcoming any device-specific resource constraints. However, as smart phones and tablets gain … SRG Seminar: “Adaptive Multisite Computation Offloading in Mobile Clouds” by Dawand Sulaiman and “Topological Ranking-Based Resource Scheduling for Multi-Accelerator Systems” by Teng Yu
Statistical models in e.g. machine learning are traditionally expressed in some sort of flow charts. Writing sophisticated models succinctly is much easier in a fully fledged programming language. The programmer can then rely on generic inference algorithms instead of having to craft one for each model. Several such higher-order functional probabilistic programming languages exist, but their semantics, and hence correctness, are not … Semantics for probabilistic programming – Dr Chris Heunen
