    In this talk, I outline some of the challenges to securing elections in the United States, relying on my own research as well as recent reports of security incidents. I discuss two hot-button topics, ballot-marking devices and post-election audits, the challenges they present to election security, and what we as voters can do about it. I provide an overview of other threat surfaces to elections, and how they are defended (or not). I conclude with a discussion of what to look for in the days surrounding the November election and how to get involved in your local election process.

    Truly smart and responsive environments rely on the ability to detect physical events and social context, such as appliance use and human activities. Currently, to sense these types of events, one must either upgrade to “smart” appliances or attach aftermarket sensors to existing objects and infrastructure. These approaches are expensive, intrusive and inflexible. Furthermore, even "smart" appliances are often very dumb – a smart speaker sitting on a kitchen countertop cannot figure out if it is in a kitchen, let alone know the user is preparing dinner.

    Database management systems (DBMS) expose dozens of configurable knobs that control their runtime behavior. Setting these knobs correctly for an application's workload can improve the performance and efficiency of the DBMS. But such tuning requires considerable efforts from experienced administrators, which is not scalable for large DBMS fleets. This problem has led to research on using machine learning (ML) to devise strategies to optimize DBMS knobs for any application automatically.
