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.

Title: Notions of randomness for subsets of the Natural Numbers
=== '''September 16 -  Sections 1.2-1.4''' ===


Abstract: There are a number of notions of randomness of sets of natural numbers. These notions have been defined based on what a 'random object' should behave like such as being 'incompressible' or being 'hard to predict' etc. There is often a interplay between computability and randomness aspects of subsets of natural numbers. In this talk we motivate and present a few different notions of randomness and compare their relative strength.

Abstract: The partial order of the Turing degrees is well-known to be extremely complicated. However, all the Turing degrees that appear "naturally" in mathematics turn out to be well-ordered. In the '70s, Martin made a sharp conjecture explaining this phenomenon, the prime suspect: the Turing jump. This talk will explore the precise statement of Martin's conjecture and the interesting mathematics that surround it.
