On July 28, 2026, researchers from the BBQ Institute gathered for a joint technical seminar exploring Deterministic State Compression in Distributed Graph Computing.
Presented jointly by Dr Aleksander Zieliński (MCNC Lab) and Dr Mateusz Wójcik (CBMD Group), the seminar demonstrated how topological invariants derived from persistent homology can be used to dramatically reduce communication bottlenecks in distributed graph neural network training.
