applications. In reality, the data stored are often dirty and contain
duplicated/missing entries, and it is a natural practice to clean the data
first before executing the query. However, the same query might return
different answers on different cleaned versions of the dataset. It is then
helpful to compute the consistent answers: the query answers that will always
be returned, regardless of how the dirty data is cleaned. In this talk, we
first introduce the connection between first-order logic and query languages
on databases, and then discuss the problem of Consistent Query Answering
(CQA): How to compute consistent answers on dirty data? Finally, we show
when the CQA problem can be solved using first-order logic for path queries.

The Graduate Logic Seminar is an informal space where graduate students and professors present topics related to logic which are not necessarily original or completed work. This is a space focused principally on practicing presentation skills or learning materials that are not usually presented in a class.

  • When: Mondays 3:30-4:30 PM
  • Where: Van Vleck B139
  • Organizers: Karthik Ravishankar and Antonio Nakid Cordero

The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact one of the organizers.

Fall 2022

September 12 - Organizational Meeting

We will meet to assign speakers to dates.

September 19 - Karthik Ravishankar

TItle: Lowness for Isomorphism

A turing degree is said to be low for isomorphism if it can only compute an isomorphism between computable structures only when a computable isomorphism already exists. In this talk we show that the measure of the class of low for isomorphism sets in Cantor space is 0 and that no Martin Lof random is low for isomorphism.
