«From the vantage point
of theoretical computer science, it's much more apparent how rare it is for a problem to be efficiently solvable,» says Ankur Moitra, the Rockwell International Career Development Assistant Professor of Mathematics at MIT and one of the leaders of the MIT - USC - UCSD project.
Speaking at the NSF in early 2015, Vadhan explained how ideas
from theoretical computer science inspired the development of differential privacy algorithms, which have are now entering the research ecosystem.
The research, which Liu is presenting at this week's Innovations in

Their peer - reviewed paper will be formally presented in October at the 54th annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, one of the two most prominent conferences in the field
of theoretical computer science.
But while science - savvy fans may get more fodder for fact - checking, Cohen, who holds a master's degree
in theoretical computer science, promises that the science in - jokes will return too.
In some subfields —
the theoretical computer science subfield was the first one — there was an oversupply, and so it became more like you would find in the biological and physical sciences where a postdoc was the only alternative for someone with a Ph.D..
The researchers will present their results this week at the conference on Innovations in
Theoretical Computer Science.
Using the tools of
theoretical computer science, the researchers prove that, within the context of their model, a certain configuration of inhibitory neurons provides the most efficient means of enacting a winner - take - all operation.
The aim of the Simons Collaborations in MPS program is to stimulate progress on fundamental scientific questions of major importance in mathematics, theoretical physics and
theoretical computer science.
