Lecture 2

"Building Knowledge Bases from the Web"

Speaker: Dr. Srinivasan H. Sengamedu

The Web is a vast repository of human knowledge. A grand challenge is to mine the web to build comprehensive databases of entities (e.g., people, places, things), relationships, and facts. Building such knowledge bases involves four key steps:

1. Content acquisition
2. Information extraction from Web pages
3. De-duplication of extracted information
4. Integration of information for the same entity

 

Speaker Bio:

SHSDr. Srinivasan leads the Search Sciences group at Yahoo! Labs, Bangalore. His research work spans over information extraction, multimedia, and computer vision. His focus is on information extraction and mulltimedia in search. He led the development of the Vertex system for information extraction and the PGREP system for adult image detection.He got his PhD from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Lecture 3:

"Notions of Security in Information Infrastructure"

Speaker: Dr. Sanjay Burman (DRDO)

We live in an era where the use of systems built using these information technologies (IT) is having a profound impact on our everyday lives. The key prerequisite for the continued development and successful exploitation of IT is the notion of assurance. Information Assurance involves conducting those operations that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. Evidently the value of information being committed into the IT infrastructure is increasing and there is an increasing concern on the inadequacy of these assurances by the currently deployed computing and communication platforms. In this talk, we will look recent notions of security in information infrastructure.  The talk will describe threat modeling, which involves defining a set of possible attacks the designer considers. The similarity and differences between the notions of "trustworthy computing" and "trusted computing" will also be explained.

Speaker Bio:

Sri Sanjay Burman was born in Calcutta in August 1961. He obtained his B.Sc. (Engineering) degree from Sambalpur University in 1985. He obtained his M.Tech in Signal Processing from IIT Kanpur in 1995. He is currently pursuing PhD in the area of re-configurable computing at IIT Madras, Chennai.
Sri Sanjay Burman was posted to Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), the premier DRDO laboratory of Bangalore in 1986. Since then he has been working in the area of Defence Communication and is presently heading a group of scientists working on cryptography and allied subjects at Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Bangalore.
He has contributed to the design of a number of cryptographic devices which have been deployed in the field. He has won a number of Republic Day Awards. He was awarded the Sir C V Raman Young Scientist Award for the year 1999. In 2004 he was given the Agni Award for Excellence in Self Reliance for his contributions to the development of S-Band Mobile Satellite Service Terminal. The Lab Scientist of the Year Award by DRDO in 2006 and the “DRDO Award for Performance Excellence” for his contributions to secure communications and for the successful development of an ECCM radio. Currently, he heads the Communication Security Group of CAIR where his group is designing a number of high grade encryptors for terrestrial and satellite links.
Sri Sanjay Burman is a founder member of the Cryptology Research Society of India. He has a number of publications to his credit in the areas of cryptography, security and re-configurable computing in national and international journals and conferences.
