Learning Language through Interaction
Machine learning-based natural language processing systems are amazingly effective, when plentiful labeled training data exists for the task/domain of interest. Unfortunately, for broad coverage (both in task and domain) language understanding, we’re unlikely to ever…
Quantum Algorithms for Number Theory and their Relevance to Cryptography
I will report on recent results about quantum algorithms for solving computational problems in number theory. I will show how they impact the security of certain post-quantum cryptosystems. Shor’s quantum algorithm for factoring large integers…
