“POLAR” lowers the adoption barrier for adaptive query processing in database systems
A preprint by BIFOLD researchers titled "POLAR: Adaptive and Non-invasive Join Order Selection via Plans of Least Resistance" is set to be presented at the VLDB conference in 2024. The database engineering paper introduces a technique for reordering joins that is adaptive, with a focus on non-invasive integration and low overhead.
Girls' Day: dEIn Labor and BIFOLD offer AI workshop
TU Berlin is once again participating in this year's "Girls' Day" on April 25, 2024. dEIn Labor and BIFOLD offer a workshop for schoolgirls from the age of 15.
EVENTS
BIFOLD Colloquium 03/2024
"Trustworthy AI... for Systems Security", the 3rd BIFOLD Colloquium discusses the question if machine learning is truly capable of ensuring systems security. In his talk, Lorenzo Cavallaro, Professor of Computer Science at University College London (UCL), will highlight the importance of reasoning beyond mere in-distribution performance by examining the consequences of distribution shifts in realistic settings.
BIFOLD Colloquium 04/2024
Amr El Abbadi is a Computer Science Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara and an ACM, AAAS, and IEEE Fellow. In his talk, he discusses how private access to data can become a practical reality in the near future by using sophisticated, expensive, but secure cryptographic methods.
