↑ Hello, I am Hsin-Po Wang. Checkout this page for the
pronunciation of my name.

↑ Artist illustration of Log-logarithmic Time Pruned Polar Coding. The main
idea of this paper involves pruning the tree of synthetic channels using a new
criterion. This makes it possible to prove that the average depth of the
pruned tree is logarithmic in the maximum depth, which leads to
log-logarithmic complexity.

↑ Artist illustration of Polar Codes’ Simplicity, Random Codes’ Durability.
The main contribution of this work is to prove that the pair of exponents,
one measuring the error probability and the other measuring the code rate,
achieves the triangle supported by (0,0) and (1,0) and (0,1/2). It is
particularly hard to approach (0,1/2).

↑ Artist illustration of Multilinear Algebra for Distributed Storage. In this
work, I construct a regeneration code named moulin code. This name is
inspired by the cascade code that pioneers this work. The word “cascade”
refers to the nested nature of the code, but also means a type of waterfalls.
I found the word “moulin” means a waterfall within a glacier, which drops a
reference to Amazon S3 Glacier, a long-term storage service. Later when I
proposed this name to Iwan my advisor, his first reaction was asking why
windmill, the meaning of moulin in French? Did I mention that “moulin” sounds
like an abbreviation of “multilinear”?

myself, father, mother, sister. We go on field trips a lot when we are all
gathered in Taipei.

clip sculpture.

↑ Artist illustration of Parity-Checked Strassen Algorithm. This work defines
a code that allows nine CPUs to compute a matrix-matrix multiplication
collaboratively. The collaboration is such that the failure of one CPU does
not delay the final result. This is named Pluto code because there were
once nine planets, until someday Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
I also include in this work a construction called Charon code, which is
after the moon of Pluto.

↑ I receive a PhD degree in Mathematics from University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign. My dissertation is titled Complexity and Second Moment of
the Mathematical Theory of Communication, which discusses capacity-achieving
error-correcting codes and their complexities. Due to the pandemic, my family
cannot attend the commencement; so it’s only me. (Also the artist was busy.)

↑ Artist illustration of Multilinear Algebra for Minimum Storage Regenerating
Codes: A Generalization of the Product-Matrix Construction. The code defined
in this work is called Atrahasis code. This name comes from Atra-Hasis
which, according to wikipeida, is a 18th-century BCE Akkadian epic, recorded
in various versions on clay tab The tablets. Several reasons are behind this
choice: 1. The epic involves surviving a flood, which is analogous to data
surviving hard-disk failures. 2. The clay tablets that hold the epic last
thousands of years. 3. Clay code is another MSR code.
