This is an in-person event ONLY in AGH 306. ABSTRACT The future of AI is embodied — imagine intelligent agents that can navigate and manipulate the world, from robot assistants […]
Many autonomous systems (e.g, driverless cars and drones) must make decisions based on predictions of the future actions of other nearby agents, whose dynamics and intentions are unknown. E.g., autonomous […]
Once considered exotic, diamond and gallium nitride (GaN) have become practical enablers for next-generation electronic systems. Their convergence—diamond providing exceptional thermal conductivity and GaN delivering high-efficiency power conversion—lays the groundwork […]
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) remains a major health crisis with profound social and economic burdens. Innovative strategies are needed to identify genetic risk and protective factors, model disease […]
AI is rapidly advancing the way we think, but we live in a material world. We still need to move things, make things, and maintain things. We need AI-driven robots […]
Test-time compute has emerged as a new axis for scaling language model capabilities, yet we lack a principled understanding of this paradigm. What are the right algorithms and trade-offs for […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT We introduce UMI-on-Legs, a new framework that combines real-world and simulation data for […]
The ability to tune the bandgap of metal halide perovskites by alloying different halide ions is key to advancing tandem solar cells and light-emitting displays. However, this compositional flexibility also […]
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 In this talk, I will introduce adaptive conformal selection (ACS), an interactive framework for model-free selection with guaranteed error control. Building on conformal selection (Jin and Candès, […]
In this talk, I'll share (1) research on the benefits of frequent testing and "second-chance testing" (optional exam re-takes) on increased student learning and decreased test anxiety, (2) research on […]
Exams are an important tool for summative assessment, whose utility has only grown with the advent of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, because they can be implemented in a […]
