The document summarizes the impacts of the Green Revolution from the 1940s-1970s, which aimed to increase global agricultural production through new technologies. It led to increased cereal crop yields through high-yielding varieties, irrigation infrastructure, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This boosted food availability and reduced famine in countries like India and Mexico. However, it also had negative consequences like groundwater depletion, increased monocultures, and worsening inequality as small farmers struggled with high input costs. The document then discusses the introduction of GE crops and notes both arguments for reducing world hunger but also concerns about the impacts on bees, weeds, and Indian farmer suicides.

It provides an example of such a partnership for Bt brinjal eggplant. Public-private partnerships are seen as essential to successfully adopting new

Cover Crops for Pest Management and Weed Suppression - Hartzler

Soil and Water Conservation Society

This document discusses weed suppression through the use of cover crops. It summarizes results from experiments showing that cereal rye planted in mid-September or mid-October produced sufficient biomass by termination in early May to significantly reduce the emergence of waterhemp and lamb's quarters weeds compared to an untreated control. The level of weed suppression was correlated with the amount of cover crop biomass, with at least 3,000 pounds of rye biomass per acre required to achieve over 80% weed control. Proper termination methods are also important to maintain an evenly distributed mulch layer for continued weed suppression.

Fertilizer microdosing

ICRISAT

Small doses of fertilizer combined with an inventory credit system called warrantage has led to increased yields and incomes for farmers in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The innovation involves applying a small amount of fertilizer, about 2-6 grams, in the seed hole at planting time. This microdosing technique has increased sorghum and millet yields by 44-120% for about 25,000 smallholder farmers. Warrantage allows farmers to store grain after harvest and take loans, then repay after selling the grain which enables them to buy inputs for the next season.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257

Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesdays - June 2024

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
