Semifinalists' Presentations

Animashree Anandkumar

Energy Efficient Routing for Inference

Student has introduced concept of statistical inference and its applications followed by the problems one faces in In-Network Processing for Inference and the problems addressed in her work.

Animashree then introduced results of investigation of how the presented problems can be solved. She then described how she applied Markov Random Field model in context of Spacial Correlation, followed by a description of her solution to minimize the routing cost.

Amrita Pati

Genomic signatures from DNA word graphs

Student started by describing the scope of the presented research and how the unique genome signatures can be obtained in an entirely new way with much higher efficiency than existing algorithms. Speaker has concluded with her plans for future work.

Himabindu Pucha

Exploiting Similarities for Multi-Source Downloads Using File Handprints

Presenter has introduced the problem of bulk data transfers being slow and congesting the Network. She then explained how this can be addressed by using multi-source downloads. She then presented results of her research demonstrating that her system shows performance improvement in multi-source download.

Shannon Irene Steinfadt

Massively Parallel Sequence Alignment for the Bioinformatics Domain

Presenter talked about sequence alignment by using longest common subsequence. She then presented her algorithm (SWAMP) and future work including plans to make it available for download.

Wanmin Wu

Towards Multi-site Collaboration in Tele-Immersive Environments

Presenter explained the challenges arising when using more than two sites for collaboration in immersive environments. She then gave an overview of the contributions of her research to the solution of these problems.
