An interactive workshop session exploring the fascinating concept of the Halting Problem in computer science.

What is the chance that among a group of friends, at least 2 of them have the same birthday? This is the celebrated birthday problem, which connects many seemingly disparate problems both within and beyond mathematics.

As Plato observed, nature is governed by the eternal laws of geometry.

In the context of software development, technical debt relates to the cost of refactoring or rework in the future that arises out of the prioritization of immediate expedience over long-term design.

The recent sensation ChatGPT, powered by large language models (LLM) can be used to mimic a human conversationalist, ChatGPT is versatile.

The talk begins with the evolution of computers and the synergistic roles played by the twin disciplines of electronics engineering and computer science and how that synergy brought computers to its all-pervasive present state.

Have you ever wondered how online platforms magically suggest products, movies, or music that seem tailor-made for you? It's not magic; it's the power of Recommender Systems (RS). Join us in this informative and hands-on session as we demystify the world of RS and learn how these digital fairy godmothers work their magic to enhance user experiences. In the first part of our talk, we'll dive deep into the world of Recommender Systems, shedding light on their applications, workings, and various types. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the foundations of RS, setting the stage for your journey into the world of personalized recommendations. In the second part, get ready to put your knowledge to the test as we guide you through the process of building a simple RS model. We'll use a user-friendly framework, making it accessible to everyone. We'll share practical tips and best practices to help you fine-tune your RS and ensure it provides meaningful recommendations. Join us for this exciting journey into the world of Recommender Systems, and discover how they can be your own fairy godmother of choices, making every digital interaction feel like it was designed just for you.

What does it mean for something to be computable? What are some of the mathematical properties of general-purpose computers? What are their limitations? These are typical questions that are of interest to computability theorists.

The brain is one of the most connected organs of an organism. It directly connects to all the organs through a network of neurons. The brain interacts with the body through a combination of electrochemical and chemical processes. The brain also controls the body indirectly through hormones and neuropeptides. Similarly, the body also controls the brain by modulating its function through indirect and direct means.

We will present a very simple streaming algorithm on F_0 estimation that also caught the eye of Donald E. Knuth.
