Slides and Useful Links
Slides from a few university presentations on data mining, programming languages, and blockchain scalability.
Some university exams required a short presentation on a specific topic rather than only a written report. These are a few of the slide decks I ended up making and keeping around.
They are still a decent snapshot of the things I was interested in at the time: information diffusion, language design, and blockchain scalability.
Data Mining
Information Diffusion in Online Social Networks
Prepared for the Data Mining exam. The presentation looks at how information spreads through social graphs and what kinds of patterns can be extracted from that process.
Emerging Programming Paradigms
Prepared for the Emerging Programming Paradigms exam. This one focused on Pony, mainly because its take on capabilities, actors, and memory safety was more interesting than another generic functional-programming overview.
Peer-to-Peer Systems
Prepared for the Peer-to-Peer Systems exam. In hindsight it is also the clearest bridge toward the work that later became my master’s thesis on state channels.
