During their thesis defense, PhD candidates introduce and motivate the problems they attacked during their course of studies, defend the novelty and significance of their research, and contextualize their contributions within their field. This is the final step in the process of obtaining a PhD, and a successful defense indicates the acknowledgment of the doctoral #committee that the candidate is an expert in their field. The defense talks are open to all members of the RPI community, and we welcome those interested to attend.
Scalable Cost-Efficient Techniques for Machine Learning via Sketching

Artificial Intelligence alignment is the practice of encouraging an AI to behave in a manner that is compatible with human values and expectations.
Incorporating Context into Knowledge Graph Completion Methods
Sola Shirai
from Advisor: Deborah McGuinness
Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) methods serve as a valuable tool to identify missing information in a knowledge graph (KG), such as predicting a missing relation between two entities or inferring properties about an entity which does not currently e
