[cosc-grad-students-list] Dr. Chandra Sekharan: Data Compression in Social Networks

[Khan, Ayesha]

Good afternoon, everyone!

iCORE will be hosting a talk by Dr. Chandra Sekharan, tomorrow Thursday (2/18) at 4:00 PM. Join us in NRC 2100 or on Teams!


Title: Data Compression in Social Networks


Abstract: Social networks have been studied in the context of matrices or graph theory for efficient representation and manipulation. Knowledge gleaned from these graphs are useful to better coordinate events, advertise, and in recommendation of friends or games. Many social networks represented as graphs or matrices are large containing 100’s of millions or even billions of entries. Hence it has become important to store them efficiently using data compression.  Since there is a vast literature on this, the talk will focus on a few known techniques and cover my own work in the area with some new results in the ongoing research.

As a reminder, the full Spring 2026 iCORE event schedule (which will include more talks by presenters involved in CS research, beach days, discussion days, and more) will be sent out soon!
