Theory
Researchers from the department showcased their work at the 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS) conference.
Machine learning systems often assume that the data they learn from is mostly trustworthy. But what happens when that data is deliberately corrupted?
Christos Papadimitriou and Michael Weinstein are being recognized for their considerable achievements in their respective fields and their dedication to teaching.
About
The group does research on the fundamental capabilities and limitations of efficient computation.
In addition, they use computation as a lens to gain deeper insights into problems from the natural, social, and engineering sciences.
The group is highly collaborative, both within Columbia and among peer institutions. They hold a weekly Theory Lunch and a bi-weekly Student Seminar. Most graduate students have (at least) two advisors and collaborate with several professors and other students. Some of the faculty are cross-listed with the IEOR department and the Data Science Institute.
