For the tenth year, MIT and Microsoft New England are proud to collaborate with Women in Data Science (WiDS) Worldwide to bring the WiDS regional conference to Cambridge, Massachusetts. This one-day conference will feature an all-female lineup of speakers and panelists from academia and industry to talk about the latest data science-related research in a number of domains, and to learn how leading-edge researchers and companies are leveraging data science for success.
This is a joint talk with CSAIL’s Theory of Computation Colloquium. Abstract: Over the last few years, graph-based approaches to nearest neighbor search have attracted renewed interest. Algorithms such as HNSW, NSG, and DiskANN have become popular tools in practice. These algorithms are highly versatile and come with efficient implementations. At the same time, their correctness, performance guarantees, and functionality remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by this class of algorithms. Bio: Dr. Piotr…
