Talk at PSC2016 on paper with Neerja Mhaskar

IMG_2999I just gave a talk at PSC2016 conference in Prague based on a paper with Neerja Mhaskar, Forced repetitions over alphabet lists. This paper explores further the problem posed by Grytczuk in 2010 regarding the construction of non-repetitive strings over alphabet lists where each alphabet has 3 symbols. We use some string combinatorics, as well as an approach based on the Crossing sequences technique from complexity theory. The conference took place at České vysoké učeni technické v Praze – Fakulta stavebni, which is quite a mouthful to say, even for a fellow slav :), and is the Czech Technical University in Prague.

I will be giving a talk in the Math/CS seminar on String Algorithms on Feb 4th at 6pm

Refreshments will be served

Title: Algorithms on Strings

Speaker: Michael Soltys

Date/Place: February 4th, 2015, at 6pm, in Del Norte 2530

Abstract: This talk is going to be centered on two papers that are going to appear in the following months:

Visit http://prof.msoltys.com for more details (these two papers are number 3 and 19 on the page), as well as Python programs that can be used to illustrate the ideas in the papers. We are going to introduce some basic concepts related to computations on string, present some recent results, and propose two open problems.

TAPPS 2014 talk “How safe is your data?”

TAPPS - Training Seminar Spring 2014Today I gave a talk at TAPPS (the Toronto Association of Police and Private Security), tilted How safe is your data?  Here are the slides on SlideShare.

Here are some of the sources cited in the presentation:

I have also used the following videos:

and the presentation included this video that I did not show:

Also, I would like to point out that for the presentation slides I used the the Google Go present package. It runs a web server that presents slide and article files from the current directory. It may be run as a stand-alone command or an App Engine app. The stand-alone version permits the execution of programs from within a presentation. I have written some more about it in post 448.
