Miklos Z. Racz (Miki Racz)Talk Title
Recent Advances in Learning in Networks: The Interplay Between Community Recovery and Graph MatchingAbstract
Community recovery and graph matching are two fundamental inference tasks on networks. I will discuss recent work that studies the interplay between them, focusing on the natural setting of edge-correlated stochastic block models. We determine the information-theoretic thresholds for both graph matching and community recovery. In particular, this uncovers and characterizes a region of the parameter space where exact community recovery is possible using multiple correlated graphs, even though this is impossible using a single graph and exact graph matching is also impossible. Furthermore, we develop an efficient algorithm for these tasks under a condition on the correlation strength that is conjectured to be necessary. This is based on joint works with Shuwen Chai, Julia Gaudio, Anirudh Sridhar, and Jifan Zhang.Biography
Miklos Z. Racz is an assistant professor at Northwestern University, jointly in the Department of Statistics and Data Science and the Department of Computer Science. Before joining Northwestern, he received his PhD in Statistics from UC Berkeley, he was a postdoc in the Theory Group at Microsoft Research, Redmond, and was then an assistant professor at Princeton University. Miki's research lies at the interface of probability, statistics, computer science, and information theory, with a focus on combinatorial statistics, discrete probability, and applied probability. Miki's research and teaching has been recognized by Princeton's Howard B. Wentz, Jr. Junior Faculty Award, a Princeton SEAS Innovation Award, and an Excellence in Teaching Award.---

lessThe aim of this workshop is to explore theoretical foundations of optimally combining human and statistical judgments. Complementarity, referring to the superior performance of a human paired with a statistical model over either alone, is a goal when deploying predictive models to support decision-making in high-stakes domains like medicine or criminal justice. However, considerable empirical evidence suggests that complementarity is difficult to design for and achieve in practice, even when experts are assumed to have access to information that a model may not. This workshop considers how to rigorously define, design for, and evaluate human-AI complementarity.

Join us for the Northwestern 2024 Fall Tech Career Fair, a collaborative in person career fair, connecting you with employers looking for talented students in computer science, data science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, machine learning, and similar programs. This is a great opportunity for you to learn, network and possibly be recruited with various industries. This fair is open to undergraduate, Masters and PhD students for internship, co-ops, and full-time positions.
Registrations for this event will be handled through Handshake!
Pre-registration is preferred but students will be given access on the day of the event.
Wildcards will be required for all attendees.
Business casual attire recommended.
Check back regularly to see which companies are coming! List is subject to change.
·Conduct company research to better familiarize yourself with companies.
· Search McCormickConnect and Handshake for available positions and apply for the position(s) ahead of time so companies know you’re interested.
· Be prepared and be ready with your “elevator pitch”.
·Bring copies of your resume and business cards! Resume should be uploaded into McCormickConnect
Engineering Career Development (ECD is here to assist as you prepare for the fair. You can schedule an appointment in McCormickConnect to meet with your dedicated career advisor.
