[4eyes] Reading Group Tomorrow @ 11 am

[Saiph Savage]

Hello Everyone,
Due to Veterans day our* reading group will be shifted to tomorrow Tuesday
at 11* am in the MAT conference room.
We will have a guest speaker, PhD candidate Maha Alabduljalil, who will
present a talk on pairs similarity search. Maha is interested in Similarity
search, duplicate detection algorithms, parallelism, and performance
optimizations techniques. She has papers in SIGIR, WSDM, and WWW.
Please join us, there will also be special snacks.

*Talk Abstract:*
All pairs similarity search is used in many applications such as duplicate
detections, data cleaning and clustering. It is still a time consuming
process and in this proposal I present our contributions to speeding up the
process using exact and efficient parallel executions. These techniques can
be summarized as data partitioning, load balancing and memory
optimizations. They have shown to add an order of magnitude over state of
the art algorithms for similarity search using five datasets.

*Keywords:*
Modeling, algorithms, performance
