In this episode, we're joined by Eric Daimler, CEO & co-founder of Conexus AI, Inc, an MIT spin out. We discuss the Conexus software platform, which is built on top of breakthroughs in the mathematics of Category Theory, and how it guarantees the integrity of universal data models. Eric shares real-world examples of applying this approach to various complex industries, such as transportation and logistics, avionics, and energy.

Today we're joined by Nikhil Swamy, Senior Principal Researcher in the RiSE group at Microsoft Research. We are very excited to hear about what he's been working on. In particular, we're going discuss a language that he's co-created and continually develops called F* (pronounced F star). F* is a dependently typed language that you can both program and prove things about the programs that you write. We'll talk about what makes that language special and unique from other similar languages, as well as some of the applications of F*.

In this episode, we talk with Steve Weis, a Senior Staff Security Engineer at Databricks with extensive knowledge of security, cryptography, and software engineering. Steve shares his experience working for large companies like Google and Facebook and how their security needs differ from start-ups and companies trying to scale. He talks about why he thinks companies should share more about how they design their infrastructure and how they can develop a “security mindset” so even non-security-related roles can contribute to building secure systems.

In episode #18, we chat with Jordan Kyriakidis, co-founder and CEO of QRA Corp. QRA is developing QVScribe, a product that helps engineers write requirements and analyze those requirements to gauge whether they are framed well and capture the writer's intent.
We discuss the impact of writing good, early-stage design requirements, how they impact your system, how to write better requirements, the state of natural language processing, and machine learning for this use case. We also talk about applying those in situations where you need explainability and where ambiguity is unacceptable.

In this two-part episode, we speak with Iain Whiteside about the challenges and some of the more novel solutions to make autonomous vehicles safer and easier to program. In part 1, we discuss how Ian and his team formalize and check the different actions and situations that a car finds itself in while on the road. In part 2, we discuss how you might validate the accuracy of neural networks that sense the world, and how to mitigate issues that might arise.

Dr. Eric Davis walks us through what it means for a data model to be trustworthy, what common pitfalls predictive models run into, reproducibility issues, and what can be done. We chat about how subject area experts are expected to be many things: statisticians, computer scientists, and mathematicians, and how that can sometimes lead to mistakes. We also look at the COVID-19 pandemic and how data models affect decision-making.

Dr. Aditya Thakur, a computer science professor at U.C. Davis, walks us through his work on developing analysis tools that he wished he had while working in industry at places like Google. Aside from program analysis, we talk about making a research group successful by exposing them to industry. Towards the end, he shares his work on techniques and tools for repairing a trained deep neural network once a mistake has been discovered. Along the way, we learn about things like abstract interpretation, non-determinism, the trickiness of parallelism, and other concepts pertinent to analysis in an approachable way.
