Подробнее** о лекции и авторе:
**Optimization problems play a major role in Financial Mathematics. After all, every financial institution aims to maximize its revenue and minimize costs. We’ll start from basic asset pricing principles and move along to discussing the optimization problems linked to managing a portfolio of financial assets. We’ll see how the mathematical models of these problems fit into the class of conic optimization problems. There are fast and reliable algorithms for conic optimization, and we’ll consider some simplified examples with the help of the Python package CVXOPT. We’ll also discuss the challenges faced by real-life portfolio managers and the corresponding opportunities for software developers.

Alexei Akhmetshin received his PhD in Mathematics from Columbia University in New York. He has over 17 years of experience designing and developing investment banking software. He is currently a Senior Engineer at Deutsche Bank in London. Previously, Alexei was a Lecturer in Mathematics at ICEF (International College of Economics and Finance), a joint program of HSE (Higher School of Economics) Moscow and the University of London, where students voted him "Best Lecturer" 9 years in a row.

Linux Container Technologies and Their Applications. A talk by Kirill Krinkin

**О лекции и авторе:
**Industrial software development cannot be imagined without the use of container technologies. An example of such a technology is Linux Containers, an effective tool for creating isolated environments to run virtual machines and microservices. Many of the tools used in DevOps, including Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes, are container-based, and many cloud services that provide virtual machines also rely on container technology. However, many people might not know that containers are based on components of the Linux kernel, such as control groups (cgroups) and namespaces. Control groups allow you to manage resources, including processor cores, memory, I/O, and others, and namespaces isolate containers from each other, creating the illusion of exclusive ownership of the equipment. This lecture will cover how Linux Containers work and how this technology is used in various DevOps tools.

Holding a Ph.D. in computer science, Kirill Krinkin is a professional member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), and both the IEEE Robotics and Automation Societies. For more than 20 years, Kirill has been doing research and development with international companies and universities in the fields of software engineering, operating systems, computer networks, autonomous mobile robots, and co-evolutionary hybrid intelligence.

__Programming Language Memory Models: Problems, Solutions, and Directions. A talk by Anton Podkopaev

__**Язык встречи: английский. Для участия, пожалуйста, зарегистрируйтесь.

Добавить в календарь

**Подробнее о лекции и авторе:
**Due to compiler and hardware optimizations, modern programming languages do not provide sequential consistent memory models. Instead, they have weak memory models that allow for more behaviors. Such memory models have to find the balance between performance and the guarantees provided to software developers, or, put another way, the balance needed is actually between performance and sanity.
In this talk, we’ll introduce weak memory concurrency, consider requirements imposed on programming language memory models, examine those used by industry (C11 and Java), including their drawbacks, and then discuss solutions proposed by the academic community. We’ll conclude with a discussion on how to choose the best memory model for your language or VM, depending on your requirements.

Anton Podkopaev is the head of the Programming Languages and Tools Lab at JetBrains Research.
He was a postdoc at MPI-SWS after getting his PhD at St. Petersburg State University.
Anton works on rigorous mathematical specifications and proofs for realistic concurrency systems, including CPU architectures, such as x86, ARM, and Power, and languages like C/C++, Java, and JavaScript. His professional interests include proving compiler correctness, verifying concurrent algorithms in weak memory models, mechanizing proofs in interactive theorem provers, and functional programming.

String Theory: What Is It and Why Are We Interested in It? A talk by Misha Evtikhiev
**Antwork Coworking Limassol

Язык встречи: английский. Для участия, пожалуйста, зарегистрируйтесь.

Подробнее о лекции и авторе:
String theory is an area of theoretical physics that routinely receives wide media attention. However, many of the popular science explanations are based on misconceptions or misnomers, such as "general relativity is incompatible with quantum mechanics". This talk will cover the following:

— A short introduction to theoretical physics and some of the problems it tackles.
— The problem of quantum gravity and the reasons why many physicists believe gravity should be quantized.
— How string theory addresses quantum gravity.
— Some of the pros and cons of string theory and why it’s currently not a very popular subject in the theoretical physics community.

You don't need to know much physics or math to understand this talk. Knowing that protons and electrons are particles is enough!

Misha Evtikhiev is a researcher in computer science software engineering at JetBrains Research. Before joining JetBrains, he was a theoretical physicist at Weizmann Institute in Israel. He did research on superconformal field theories in 3 to 6 dimensions and little string theories, and defended his PhD thesis in July 2020.

Machine Learning meets IDEs: A JetBrains Case. A talk by Timofey Bryksin** (@timofeybryksin)
Antwork Coworking Limassol

Язык встречи: английский.
Для участия, пожалуйста, зарегистрируйтесь.

Подробнее о лекции и авторе:
Machine learning is a hot topic almost in every domain right now, including software engineering. More and more research papers are being published, introducing new approaches and improving existing ones, solving dozens of different tasks in this domain. Many of these papers report very high quality of their models, so sometimes reading them leaves you wondering, why don't we see features like this in our development tools? Well, in most cases, it is not that straightforward. In this talk, I discuss the way research ideas and academic prototypes find their way into software products at JetBrains. I will show several cases of how machine learning approaches are integrated into a modern IDE used by millions of developers every day. I will also highlight the challenges we usually face while doing it and discuss the promising research areas in this field.

Timofey Bryksin is a head of an R&D lab at JetBrains. Before that, he spent almost a decade working in industry as software engineer and engineering manager. His research interests revolve around software engineering tools and processes and how they can be enhanced with various types of data collected in this field. He holds a Ph.D. in Software Engineering from Saint Petersburg State University.
