Theory Talks
Centre for Fundamental Computer ScienceDate: 18 October 2024 Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Location: Peter Landin 4.24
A sequence of introductory talks
Marc Roth will give a talk as described below:
I will give a brief introduction to the space of graph motif parameters, a vector space of counting problems (such as counting k-cliques in an n-vertex graph) that exhibit very close connections between fine-grained complexity theory, descriptive complexity theory, and the expressive power of graph neural networks.
I will demonstrate the power of this framework using a concrete running example: Counting 3-matchings (sets of 3 pairwise disjoint edges) in n-vertex graphs.
Pasquale Malacaria will give a talk about some very nice short proofs of some fundamental theorems of logic using Kolmogoroff complexity
The seminar will be followed by a social event at which all are welcome.
