Jane Street's Yaron Minsky is coming to Waterloo to give a talk aimed at
undergraduate students. The talk titled Data Driven UIs, Incrementally
will be held in DC 1302 on Oct. 15th 5:30-6:30pm. Yaron Minsky got his
BA in Mathematics from Princeton and his PhD in Computer Science from
Cornell, where he studied distributed systems. He joined Jane Street in
2003, where he started out developing quantitative trading strategies,
going on to found the firm's quantitative research group. Here's a brief
description of the talk:
</p>
<p>
Trading in financial markets is a data-driven affair, and as such, it
requires applications that can efficiently filter, transform and
present data to users in real time.
</p>
<p>
But there's a difficult problem at the heart of building such
applications: finding a way of expressing the necessary
transformations of the data in a way that is simultaneously easy to
understand and efficient to execute over large streams of data.
</p>
<p>
This talk will show how we've approached this problem using
Incremental, an OCaml library for constructing dynamic computations
that update efficiently in response to changing data. We'll show how
Incremental can be used throughout the application, from the servers
providing the data to be visualized, to the JavaScript code that
generates DOM nodes in the browser. We'll also discuss how these
applications have driven us to develop ways of using efficiently
diffable data structures to bridge the worlds of functional and
incremental computing.
