Computer Science Colloquium Now Available on Youtube
The HSE Faculty of Computer Science, where international specialists teach alongside Russian professors and one Master’s programme in System and Software Engineering is taught entirely in English, has launched a public colloquium. The colloquium — a faculty-wide seminar — is a platform for teachers, research fellows, graduates and undergraduates and anyone interested in computer science to discuss and exchange opinions and information. The only rule for the colloquium is that whoever wants to talk about their new research results or issues related to computing must use language that everyone can understand.
Discussions are recorded on video and uploaded weekly onto the Faculty Youtube channel in Russian and English.
At the moment you can watch Stefan Haar, ENS Cachen (Paris) talking about True Concurrency — from C.A. Petri to Telecom and Systems Biology, Geoffrey Gérard Décrouez, Associate Professor at the Department of Data Analysis and AI, at HSE’s Faculty of Computer Science giving a lecture — On scale invariance, multifractal formalism, and their applications, and Wil van der Aalst, Eindhoven University of Technology, HSE Honorary Professor.
Wil van der Aalst - is a leading world expert on modelling and analysis of information systems. He is the founder and leader of the new, rapidly developing area of research - process mining. His ideas have had a huge impact on software developers. You can watch his lecture, Process Mining: Data Science in Action on the Faculty Youtube channel.
Assaf Schuster, Computer Science, Technion, Haifa, Israel talks about RaaS and Ginseng: The Resource as a Service Cloud, while Dzmitry Kliazovich, Research Assistant, Organization & International Development, University of Luxembourg, discusses Energy efficient Cloud Computing. The series of English lectures concludes with Frederico Wadehn, representing the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory of ETH Zurich, on the subject of: Probabilistic graphical models: Factor graphs and more.
The Faculty Youtube channel allows those with a professional interest in the development of computer science to watch lectures by world famous experts and students and also to get a flavour of the lively discussions at HSE.
