Computation Techniques for Encrypted Data
Gajendra Deshpande

The session begins with a discussion on homomorphic properties of cryptographic algorithms with the demonstration and techniques to reduce computational complexity. The session discusses the concept of recryption for secure computation. This session also discusses a case study on how machine learning techniques can be applied to encrypted data for secure computation and protecting the machine learning model. Finally, the utility of homomorphic encryption for blockchain will be discussed.

Inventing Curriculum with Julia and Pointer-Generator Network
Gajendra Deshpande

In this talk, attendees will learn about natural language processing techniques (TextAnalysis.jl) using Julia and how it can be combined with machine learning(MLJ.jl) to generate new knowledge from the existing knowledge. We will talk about how we designed curriculum using natural language processing, unsupervised machine learning and pointer-generator network.

Julia in Education for Generation Z
Gajendra Deshpande

The students who belong to Generation Z or post-millennials have access to gadgets such as smartphones even before they go to school. This makes them technology savvy and at the same time, they get bored easily in a traditional classroom setting. It becomes necessary to use modern tools and techniques in the classroom to engage students in activities. In this BOF, I will demonstrate how we can use smartphone and visual programming tools to engage Generation Z students in the classroom.
