The Algorithms and Complexity Lab (in short, ACLab) is celebrating Theory Days from 22 to 23 June 2017. The two main reasons for the celebration of the Theory Days (open to the general public) are to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ACLab, and the 105th birthday of Alan Mathison Turing (the founder of computer science). Theory Days aim to celebrate both these reasons by providing invited lectures under the general theme of discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science.
More details regarding this celebration can be found at the Theory Days 2017 page.

"Showing the Correctness of Algorithms using
Machine Learning and Automated Reasoning."
Date: 27. February 2017 (Monday)
Time: 2pm to 4pm,
Venue: Lecture Hall
2/f UPAECH, Department of Computer Science,
College of Eng'g.
Title: Showing the Correctness of Algorithms using
Machine Learning and Automated Reasoning
by
Dr. Cezary Kaliszyk Uni. Innsbruck
Abstract:
With the increasing complexity of software and hardware, showing the correctness and security of the involved algorithms becomes more and more important. Highest levels of certainty about such properties can today be achieved using formal proof methods. In this talk I will introduce formal proof and discuss the main challenges the field faces presently. The most powerful techniques today combine machine learning with automated reasoning. I will introduce the various machine learning problems including the selection of relevant knowledge, choice of reasoning techniques, and generation of intermediate statements, as well as discuss the currently used algorithms and their relation to reasoning.
Bio: Cezary Kaliszyk is a researcher at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. His main interests are providing proof advice and automation for formal proof. He received a MSc from the University of Warsaw, Poland in 2005, and a PhD in computer science in 2009, from the Radboud University, Netherlands. He spent a year at the Technical University of Munich working with nominal logic in the Isabelle proof assistant, two years at the University of Tsukuba, and has been working in the Computational Logic group in Innsbruck, Austria since 2012. He has been a recipient of grants from the European Research Council, Austrian Science Fund, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Austrian Agency for International Cooperation. His industry experience includes working at Google Research as a faculty advisor.
