In the setting of cloud computing a user wishes to delegate its data, as well as computations over this data, to a cloud provider. Each computation may read and modify the data, and these modifications…
Interactive proofs have had a dramatic impact on Complexity Theory and Cryptography. In particular, the celebrated IP=PSPACE Theorem [LFKN92,Shamir92] allows an all-powerful but untrusted prover to convince a polynomial-time verifier of the validity of extremely…
Latent or hidden variable models have applications in almost every domain, e.g., social network analysis, natural language processing, computer vision and computational biology. Training latent variable models is challenging due to non-convexity of the likelihood…
Homomorphic encryption is an encryption function which permits encrypted data to be computed without decryption. It is considered as a solution for protecting privacy information in present situations such as cloud computing and machine communication.…
Alice and Bob compete in a game of skill, making moves alternately until one or other reaches a winning position, at which the game ends. Or, perhaps neither player can force a win, in which…
This talk has two inter-twined aims. First, it introduces a number of medical challenges, and the ways in which quantitative image analysis is being developed to address them and which underlie my (current) companies. Second,…
