Yuri Gurevich will visit 16-22 December.
We scheduled his talk for Dec 18 at 3-4PM in POST 302.

The graduation ceremony is at 4:30PM, and after that we will go for a dinner. The talk will not be on the topic of Yuri’s new interest: privacy. The abstract is below.

Please email Dusko Pavlovic by Friday Noon if you want to join us for dinner.

TITLE: Inverse Privacy

SPEAKER: Yuri Gurevich, Microsoft Research

ABSTRACT: We say that an item of your personal information is directly private if you
have it but nobody else does, and it is inversely private if somebody has
it but you do not. We analyze the provenance of inverse privacy and its ascent to dominance (by volume and value) over direct privacy, and we argue that — and how — inverse privacy can be reduced to more reasonable levels.

This is joint work with our Microsoft colleagues Efim Hudis and Jeannette Wing.
