The document discusses algorithms for maximum matchings in bipartite graphs. It defines bipartite graphs and matchings. A simple algorithm finds augmenting paths and increments the matching size in each iteration, having complexity O(VE). The more efficient Hopcroft-Karp algorithm finds a maximal set of shortest augmenting paths and augments along all paths simultaneously in each iteration, achieving complexity O(√V√E). It demonstrates the algorithm augmenting the matching by alternating along paths in the maximal set.

Temporal logic and functional reactive programmingSergei Winitzki
In my day job, most bugs come from imperatively implemented reactive programs. Temporal Logic and FRP are declarative approaches that promise to solve my problems. I will briey review the motivations behind
and the connections between temporal logic and FRP. I propose a rather "pedestrian" approach to propositional linear-time temporal logic (LTL), showing how to perform calculations in LTL and how to synthesize programs from LTL formulas. I intend to explain why LTL largely failed to
solve the synthesis problem, and how FRP tries to cope.
FRP can be formulated as a -calculus with types given by the propositional intuitionistic LTL. I will discuss the limitations of this approach, and outline the features of FRP that are required by typical application programming scenarios. My talk will be largely self-contained and should be understandable to anyone familiar with Curry-Howard and functional programming.
Exact Matrix Completion via Convex Optimization Slide (PPT)Joonyoung Yi
Slide of the paper "Exact Matrix Completion via Convex Optimization" of Emmanuel J. Candès and Benjamin Recht. We presented this slide in KAIST CS592 Class, April 2018.
- Code: https://github.com/JoonyoungYi/MCCO-numpy
- Abstract of the paper: We consider a problem of considerable practical interest: the recovery of a data matrix from a sampling of its entries. Suppose that we observe m entries selected uniformly at random from a matrix M. Can we complete the matrix and recover the entries that we have not seen? We show that one can perfectly recover most low-rank matrices from what appears to be an incomplete set of entries. We prove that if the number m of sampled entries obeys
𝑚≥𝐶𝑛1.2𝑟log𝑛
for some positive numerical constant C, then with very high probability, most n×n matrices of rank r can be perfectly recovered by solving a simple convex optimization program. This program finds the matrix with minimum nuclear norm that fits the data. The condition above assumes that the rank is not too large. However, if one replaces the 1.2 exponent with 1.25, then the result holds for all values of the rank. Similar results hold for arbitrary rectangular matrices as well. Our results are connected with the recent literature on compressed sensing, and show that objects other than signals and images can be perfectly reconstructed from very limited information.
In graph theory, a matching is a subset of a graph's edges such hat no two edges meet the same vertex. A matching is maximum if no other matching contains more edges. A trivial solution (exhaustive search) to the problem of finding a maximum matching has exponential complexity. We illustrate polynomial time solutions to the problem that were published between 1965 and 1991.

Graph coloring is an important concept in graph theory. It is a special kind of problem in which we have assign colors to certain elements of the graph along with certain constraints. Suppose we are given K colors, we have to color the vertices in such a way that no two adjacent vertices of the graph have the same color, this is known as vertex coloring, similarly we have edge coloring and face coloring. The coloring problem has a huge number of applications in modern computer science such as making schedule of time table , Sudoku, Bipartite graphs , Map coloring, data mining, networking. In this paper we are going to focus on certain applications like Final exam timetabling, Aircraft Scheduling, guarding an art gallery.

In many scientific areas, systems can be described as interaction networks where elements correspond to vertices and interactions to edges. A variety of problems in those fields can deal with network comparison and characterization.
The problem of comparing and characterizing networks is the task of measuring their structural similarity and finding characteristics which capture structural information. In order to analyze complex networks, several methods can be combined, such as graph theory, information theory, and statistics.
In this project, we present methods for measuring Shannon’s entropy of graphs.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Definition
A graph G = (V, E) is bipartite if there exists partition
V = X Y∪ with X Y =∩ ∅ and E X × Y⊆ .
Bipartite Graph types
Unweighted
Weighted
For every edge e E∈ , there is a
weight w(e) .
Introduction
4. Example:
There are a set of boys and a set of girls.
Each boy only likes girls and each girl only likes boys.
A common friend wants to match each boy with a girl such that
the boy and girl are both happy – but they both will only be
happy if the boy likes the girl and the girl likes the boy.
Is it possible for every situation?
Introduction
We can use a bipartite graph
to model this problem
7. Definition
Matching
A Matching is a subset M E⊆ such that ∀v V∈ at most one
edge in M is incident upon v
– Maximum matching
– A Maximum Matching is matching M such that everyother
matching M′ satisfies |M′| ≤ |M|.
– Unweighted graph: |M|= the number of edges
– Weighted graph: |M|=
– Perfect Matching
– A matching which matches all vertices of the graph

Alternating Paths
A path is alternating if its edges alternate
between M and E − M.
Augmenting Paths
An alternating path is augmenting if both
endpoints are free

(Path: Y1, X2, Y2, X4, Y4,
X5)
Berge's Theorem: A matching M is maximum iff it
has no augmenting path (Proof: Lec01 Page 3)
Maximum matching
17. Introduction
• The Hopcroft-Karp algorithm was published in
1973
• It is a matching algorithm that finds a
maximum matching in bipartite graphs
• The main idea is to augment along a set of
vertex-disjoint shortest augment paths
simulatenously
• The complexity is O(√|V||E|)
• In this section, some Theorems and Lemmas
from graph theory will be stated without
showing the proof.
18. Definition
• We let the set A B denote the symmetric⊕
difference of the set
• A B = (A B) – (A B)⊕ ∪ ∩
• A maximal set of vertex-disjoint minimum
length augmenting path is defined as follows :
It is a set of augmenting path
No two path share a same vertex
If the minimum length augmenting path is of
length k, then all paths in S are of length k
If p is an augmenting path not in S, then p
shares a vertex with some path p’ in S
19. Algorithm
The algorithm of Hopcroft and Kraft is as follows :
Given a graph G = (X Y),E)∪
1) Let M = {} ,
2) Find S = {P1 , P2 , … Pk}
3) While S ≠ {}
M = M S⊕
Find S
4) Output M
