Dr. Pavan Aduri, 'Distribution Testing and Computation Complexity', TADS Lunch-n-Learn

Presenter: Dr. Pavankumar Aduri

Title: Distribution Testing and Computation Complexity

Abstract: Given the ability to draw samples from an unknown distribution D, what properties can be inferred about D? How many samples are needed? Dr. Aduri will present Theoretical Computer Science approach to this problem and provide a computational complexity perspective. This talk is accessible to researchers not working in the area of Theoretical Computer Science.
