Entropy/IP - Uncovering Structure in IPv6 Addresses

Speaker
Paweł Foremski, IITiS PAN
Date
Abstract

We introduce Entropy/IP: a system that discovers Internet address structure based on analyses of a subset of IPv6 addresses known to be active, i.e., training data, gleaned by readily available passive and active means. The system is completely automated and employs a combination of information-theoretic and machine learning techniques to probabilistically model IPv6 addresses.

Seminar

Wykorzystanie baz i narzędzi dostępnych na platformie Web of Science do oceny badań naukowych, odnajdywanie istotnych źródeł bibliograficznych i umiejętne zastosowanie ich w celu kształtowania własnego dorobku naukowego

Speaker
Marcin Kapczyński, Thomson Reuters
Date
Abstract

Obecnie instytucje naukowo-badawcze, rządowe i te dystrybujące środki na badania stają przed koniecznością obiektywnego określenie wpływu i jakości dorobku naukowego.

Prezentacja przedstawia sposoby wykorzystania narzędzi analityki bibliometrycznej takie jak: Web of Science, Journal Citation Reports czy Incites wykorzystywane do określanie wpływu badań naukowych, identyfikacji potencjalnych obszarów rozwoju, trendów badawczych i najbardziej wpływowych autorów i instytucji.

Seminar

Hyperspectral imaging and multivariate analysis in the study of works of art

Speaker
Agata Mendys, Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie
Date
Abstract

Due to their non-invasive nature analytical techniques based on reflectance spectroscopy are almost ideal for the analysis of such sensitive and valuable objects as works of art. Point reflection spectroscopy can be extended in the direction of the analysis performed on the entire surface to perform hyperspectral imaging. Large amounts of data, obtained by this method, in conjunction with statistical analysis become a source of new information about studied objects and open up new possibilities in the field of non-destructive testing of historic buildings.

Seminar

Control of open quantum systems

Speaker
Daniel Burgarth, Aberystwyth University
Date
Abstract

Which algorithms could you run on a given quantum device? I give an introduction into the concept of "reachable operations" in controlled quantum systems. In practice, quantum devices will be noisy, so it is important to characterise the reachable set of open quantum systems. This, however, brings many mathematical challenges, which I will briefly discuss. I then provide a case study of a qubit in a bath of spin 1/2 particles, for which the reachability question can be solved analytically, and provide numerical results using an open-source software library developed by our group. 

Seminar

Maximal Entropy Random Walk in information theory, diffusion and data analysis

Speaker
Jarosław Duda, Jagiellonian University
Date
Abstract

The standard way of choosing stochastic models (transition probabilities) in many cases turns out to be in disagreement with experiment, correctly described by quantum mechanics. For example it would allow electrons to freely travel through defected lattice of semiconductor, while we know that it is not a conductor - these electrons are statistically imprisoned (Anderson localization).

Seminar

The conditional uncertainty principle based on majorization relations

Speaker
Waldemar Kłobus, Uniwersytet Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu
Date
Abstract

We develop a general operational framework that formalizes the concept of conditional uncertainty in a measure-independent fashion. The formalism is built around a mathematical relation that we call conditional majorization. We define and characterize conditional majorization, and use it to develop tools for the construction of measures of the conditional uncertainty of individual measurements, and also of the joint conditional uncertainty of sets of measurements.
