  • Various notes on DBMS internals
    • Written to prepare for an exam in a DBMS internals class I was taking at the time (2003). Covers basic techniques for query evaluation, query optimization, concurrency control and recovery.
  • Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity
    • A 45-minute talk that introduces the basic properties of Kolmogorov complexity, and highlights some interesting applications. Note that I'm by no means an expert on algorithmic information theory, so take this for what it's worth.
