CACR Talk Tuesday: http://cacr.iu.edu/sites/cacr.iu.edu/files/Shelat.pdf
SPEAKER:
abhi shelat Assistant Professor of Computer Science School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia
TOPIC:
TITLE: The Price of Secure Collaboration
We frame the notion of secure collaboration as one about the ability for several parties p1,...,pn, who privately hold inputs x1,...,xn respectively, to jointly compute some function f(x1,...,xn).
In this talk, we discuss two aspects about the *price* of security. How much extra communication and computation are necessary? What extra assumptions about ``parties following the instructions" need to be made? We partially answer these questions by Presenting recent work that addresses these factors.
For the two-party case, we first present a recently designed system that achieves security against a malicious adversaries with the lowest communication and computation among all known solutions.
For the multi-party case, we introduce a new threshold fully homomorphic encryption scheme. This system allows a set of players to generate a public key pk for which each party has a share sk_i of the secret key. We also develop a proof of knowledge of plaintext and a collaborative decryption procedure for this system. By combining these methods, we construct the first secure multi-party computation protocol that allows evaluation of a function $f$ using communication that is independent of the circuit description of $f$.
The talk covers joint work with Chih-hao Shen, and with Steve Myers and Mona Sergi.

MS Advising Tip
One can use any course with a middle digit of 0/1 to fulfill the foundations requirements, e.g., B501 or B503. In some very rare cases, it would be possible to use the undergraduate versions of B501 and B503 but that would require special permission from the Director.Internship
The Unit for Natural Language Processing at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI: http://www.deri.ie/) of the National University of Ireland, Galway invites applications for an internship in information mining. The successful applicant will have the following responsibilities:1. Research: topic clustering. We are currently extracting over 27,000 topics from scientific publications using NLP techniques, and need a reliable and efficient technique to cluster these so that they are more manageable in our expert-finding application’s user interface. This could be hierarchical topic clustering (super topics and sub topics in a tree structure) or some other suitable way determined by research.
2. Development: crawling. We are currently identifying further sources of both documents and metadata describing the documents, and need infrastructure to be setup and run to effectively crawl this information for subsequent information extraction. This will involve the setting up and administration of databases, metadata stores and open source crawling tools, as well as the development of some custom screen-scraping tools.
3. Any other tasks required of them.
The work will be carried out in the context of an ongoing industrial research collaboration, and internally with DERI's Unit for Information Mining and Retrieval. Internships are aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, with a duration of 3-12 months and will be remunerated at EUR 1000 per month (EUR 1200 for postgraduate students).
DERI is a leading research institute in semantic technologies that offers a stimulating, dynamic and multi-cultural research environment, excellent ties to research-groups worldwide, close collaboration with industrial partners and up-to-date infrastructure and resources. The DERI Unit for Natural Language Processing (http://nlp.deri.ie/) has a focus on applied research in ontology-based information extraction, semantic-level text mining and the use of linguistic and semantic methods in information retrieval. The unit develops methods for the efficient application of NLP tools in combination with domain semantics as specified in ontologies, thesauri and other knowledge organisation systems for relevant use cases. Research is carried out in close cooperation with the DERI Unit for Information Mining and Retrieval (http://uimr.deri.ie/) in the context of the DERI Semantic Information Mining stream (http://sim.deri.ie/) as well as with other DERI units.

Dr. Dalkilic, I was at the July 15th & 16th orientation and did not recieve one the the papers that you were passing around the crowd. Could you please send me the PDF file if it is not too much trouble. I would also like to thank you for the Border's Books gift card and for making Orientation enjoyable.
Thank you, Lucas H.

Another nice email:
Hello, my name is Nathan K* and I attended the orientation meeting you gave in the auditorium a couple days ago. I accepted the offer for the gift card and am emailing you concerning what book I should get. My friend and coworkers pursuaded me into starting Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac a few weeks ago and I've grown to really enjoy the adventurous stories and the views he has of life and religion. I'm almost finished reading it and was planning on reading either more Kerouac or start branching out to books by other poets that he knew and was friends with. I'm hoping that you encouage this choice, or if you have any other suggestions, I'm open to those as well. I'd also like to thank you for the gift card. It's extremely generous of you and I'm hoping to continue reading and talking about books with you! Sincerly, Nathan K

I met with Billy about his internships--I suggested the difficult one. We'll see what he does. He did nominate me for Distinguished Professor in Teaching--I was very touched, but to my chagrin, a dossier is required. Having completed work on P & T (maybe a dozen) and the dossier being required in a few days, it was suggested that I try again next year. I cannot decide if it's [application process] like a water slide or a Sisyphean exercise.
I met with Bobak and Justen several times
I picked up Jim at the airport and dropped him off around 5:00am. He wanted to leave at 4:00am, because his flight was at 11:00am.
P & T writing
My sister was kind enough to make arrangements for our family for Thanks-giving, but I was encouraged not to spend 9 hours on the road for a meal at 11:30am. I miss seeing them, but Kan has no keeper.
I took my entire H101 class to Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. We were written up by the IDS by Lindsey Ferguson . I recommend Peter Branscombe's W.A. Mozort Die Zauberöte.
If this link is stale, I found it at textbookx.com The site has a synopsis of the book:
Few operas have had more written about them than Die Zauberflote, yet few are as often exposed to misguided comment--or to idiosyncratic productions. This book sets out to provide a straightforward account of Mozart's most beloved opera, exposing the half-truths and legends that have proliferated since its first production in 1791. The sources for the opera are discussed, and there are chapters devoted to composition of the work, the authorship and qualities of the libretto, the music (analyzed by Erik Smith), early productions and performance history, and the practical problems of directing a production (examined by Anthony Besch). The book contains illustrations, a synopsis, bibliography, and discography and will be of interest to music students, scholars and operagoers.

Chris Paulson, a student from some time ago, sent me this nice message:
Hey Dr. D, Long time no talk to, this is Chris Paulson(from class of '04) and I got an informatics booklet in the mail today and it made me think of you and I wanted to shoot you an email to see how things are going? I follow the website some and also get updates from Matt Hottell on facebook and its amazing how much things are growing around there! I would love to catch up with you and I will be down at IU sometime in the next couple months visiting my sister(shes a sophmore) and am hoping to catch a basketball game, so I will let you know when I'm gonna be there and hopefully we could meet up for a bit if you have the time. I am living in Wisconsin these days, married(no kids) and I work for GlaxoSmithKline in the Vaccines division selling to hospitals/clinics covering SW Wisconsin. Well I hope things are going well for you as I'm sure they are, and I hope to catch up with you soon. Chris
Jim explained "metrotextual" to me. Evidently, it's OK to end one's text with 'xoxox...' (how ever many are deserved, etc.) without exposing oneself--you can finish this this though.
I'm stealing this from Chelsea Lately, but when she remarked, "Do you remember when 'twilight' just meant dark outside?" I was thinking some hollywooden tax on usurping words.
Another study session of KAN for textbooks
I guess the lesson for the day is "postponed prepositions." This grammatical form is only for informal writing (that's what's believed). For example, "The paper that I was asking about is late." In this case, 'about' is the preposition, and its object is 'that'. Which is correct? "I concur (with or in or to) that proposal? The correct answer is 'in'. Prepositions are pesky elements! I've been working on my dad (whose mother tongue is not English) to rid himself of superfluous prepositions. "Where are you at?" (remove the 'at'); "Is the game over with?" (remove the 'with'). I was going to end with a passage from Voltaire's Philosphical Dictionary. Evidently I can download it for free on my unused KindleDX. Let's see how it goes. - (edited November 29, 2009, 2:50 PM)

I will eventually show what he does inbetween these misleading cute, passive poses. The last thing to say is that I must be a luddite.
The last image is of my television informing me I should pay my bill...my television...What happens when the house is eventually tethered electronically, and your electric toothbrush flashes, "Pay the TV--and buy more Crest?" I'm glad I've kept the clock I had in high school--no electronic soul or enough silicon to give messages other than static or an annoying beep to rouse me from sleep. I know it's probably paranoid, but I could swear the television was trying to turn-off the other electrical devices in the room until I looked at it squarely and performed what is asked.

Faculty Nomination
Addressing Internet Problem
UG committee
Discussed the undeniable wisdom of banning flavored cigarettes with students. I find this decision so sublime, that listening to Magnificat in D, BWV 243 Quia Respexit...Omnes Generationes
is the only means I have to fully comprehend not only the law, but also the great minds that were intrepid enough to identify and stamp out this problem. I do have an admittedly silly thought: will flavored cigarettes become among the ilk of guns, heroin, extortion...trafficking of cookie dough cigarettes. We must be vigilant.
Let's hope there's a kind of cosmic hiccup, and we beat the OSU tomorrow. So a mystery has occurred. I embarrassingly spend too much on books, mostly at Amazon and even have the Kindle DX. So the mystery--yes. After ordering 16 copies of a book for my honors class, the order, according to UPS via Amazon had shown the delivery was made two weeks prior--Sept. 16. There was a green colored bar, which I guess indicates successfully delivered. Oddly, I had not received the books. I contacted Amazon and explained about the nearly identical addresses in my planned housing division, and the likelihood the books were no more. Amazon contacted UPS, then responded to me that UPS ackowledged deliverying the books to the wrong address. True to Amazon's wonderful service, it sent me an additional 16 books at no charge overnight. Herein lies the mystery. UPS delivered what appears to be the original order that night, then the duplicate order the day after. Amazon did not send three orders of 16 books (I've just spoken to them). How could UPS have delivered the books, yet ostensively deliver the same order to me weeks later? Hmm.
Just finished reading Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! The Psychology of Deceit. It's interesing, though somewhat dated, account of lies through the lens of a psychiatric physician. I encourage reading of the book, if for no other reason than to dispel widely held mythoi of affectation, ability to detect lying, and so forth.

I've finished The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language. It's more of a survey, but informative; there is a decent mix of philosophy, biology, and speculation. Like "Nutureshock" I have to post notes later. I will post my first exam which included readings from by MacFarlane, The Information Paradox by Thorp, and Doubt by Hect. These may be a strange trio--and they are. MacFarlane's book as a fascinating social network of accusations. It bares an eerie similarity to Facebook (in its connections). Thorp's book discusses the apparent dogma that technology improves situations, but somehow the improvement is elusive to quantify or even formally recognize. This is particular true with IT. Hecht's book offers a "doubters" quiz. I was interested in seeing where on the scale they stand. We'll see tomorrow.
Meet with Chris
I'll be doing the accounting for my class and the Lotus Festival. I paid for the ticket, if a student attended. My order of 16 books, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was delivered to another address--similar to mine. Unfortunately, the resident disposed of the books somehow (I'm thinking burning, but using them for the small, loud dog--think birdcage--is another alternative). I'm contacting various state and federal agencies to see if this somewhat mean-spirited reproach is actionable. I hope it is--not the least of which is because I'd like my items back LOL. I presume the resident is unfamiliar with any technology post 1960--so, this blog will be unread. - 3:58 PM
Jim and Lisa have graduated and now reside on the east coast in a beautiful--but haunted--house. Our paper--really the core of Jim's work--Gene networks in Drosophila melanogaster: integrating experimental data to predict gene function in Genome Biology. The work is the first integration of genome-wide experimental data for fly. Jim's post-doc'ing at Collin's lab studying sythetic and systems biology. Lisa's at Brown doing her post-doc. Moving Jim's furniture with DL, Scott, Brian (and eventually...eventually Richie and his new sidekick) was a study in how a collectin of Type A personalities that run the gamut of OCD, which needs to be treated because it's so severe (Scott had to take calming breaths as we stacked boxes) to OCD, which needs to be treated because it's so severed (I wanted to understand why anyone would move cardboardesque furniture). BTW, a shoutout and apology to Jim's mother. I didn't know it was a gift, but in my defense, Jim couldn't explain what it actually was.
My 2nd year honors class is a blast. I'll be posting images and URLs from them too. There was even a waiting list to get in LOL. Unfortunately, like Charlie: they are locked in. Props to Nick for wearing Harry Potter's cloak LOL.
Kan's brother passed away two months ago. Oakley was a remarkable canine--wildly tempermental, mischievious, and loving. Kan and I both miss him. Kan's doing very well--our last daily walk he tried to bring down a deer. He's feral; I don't care what anyone has to say.
Justen and I are continuing Jim's work--and I have a number of projects ongoing. Being on the P&T committee eats up a lot of time--but it's important--especially in light of the changes this year at IU.
The Lotus Festival is this week. I can't say for sure, but it seems a couple of the flowers I worked on a couple of years ago are floating amongst the pages LOL. I did graphics anonymously for Lotus as succor for someone who, as it turns out, is really an insect. Now, with a priori help from me, which I solemnly regret, it (the afore mentioned insect) has managed to burrrow its way into a medical school and infest other people. I had thought an email (what I know now as a disingenuous response to an initial email from me about a graduation) was nothing more than mimicking friendly, human communication. Okay--it's what insects do, right? Or don't do--no disrespect to people who own "pet" roaches. But my gut tells me, the roaches would be in the same (lack of) state of mind, rollining crap in the wild as they would be housed in a cup (rolling in crap). In the end, being an insect is its own unawares punishment. One fewer bug in Bloomington. octies novem: sit omni genere laborum fatigatue exorit.
Today we review the three cases of our division...Division C. I don't know why it's C. I'm a faculty fellow for Briscoe--we need to set a time to all meet. NP hard for sure. I've given Josh a code so his "association" (of 250 people) (which I doubt) and all watch Sunny in Philoflorida or some such.
I just finished reading Nuture Shock by Bronson and Merryman. Not very technical, but an excellent collection (compiled by the authors) of recent work by scientists on cognitive research of growing-up. Much of the mythos of raising and dealing with the young and young adults are directly studied--and some provocative (at least for now) results have begun to emerge. As I write this, I wonder about the results had the scientists studied insects too? I've finished three others this week--but time, the devourer calls me thither. I'll look for the books' images--makes it so much more palatable when recommending them.
