20 May 2022, 10:30-11:30. ENS S16. Algorithm for consistent query answering under primary key constraints Databases often have constraints. One of the basic constraints is the “primary key constraint” which states there can be at most one tuple for every primary key. However, these days it is common to have…

Valda Seminar: Michaël Thomazo

8 April 2022, 10:30-11:30. ENS, S16 Capturing Homomorphism-Closed Decidable Queries with Existential Rules Existential rules are a well studied ontology-mediated query language for which the chase represents a generic computational approach for query answering. It is straightforward that existential rule queries exhibiting chase termination are decidable and can only recognize…

Valda Seminar: Debabrota Basu

Debabrota Basu, Inria Lille. 11 March 2022, 10:30-11:30. ENS S16. Verifying and Explaining Unfairness of Machine Learning Algorithms In recent years, machine learning (ML) algorithms have been deployed in safety-critical and high-stake decision-making, where the fairness or unbiasedness of algorithms bears significant importance. Fairness in ML centres on detecting bias…
