    ESE Spring Seminar – “The Next Leap in Hardware Systems: Powered by Heterogenous Memory, Logic, and 3D Integration”

    March 18, 2024 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM /
    Towne 337

    Computing is at a critical juncture. Applications such as AI/ML demand much larger memory, higher bandwidth, and lower-energy compute compared to business as usual. New hardware systems, powered by heterogenous memory, logic, and 3D integration, are required for large energy efficiency, throughput, and scaleup benefits. I will present my contributions to three such heterogeneous systems: […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Designing Heart Valves from First Principles: Model Generation, Congenital Disease and Surgical Treatment”

    March 19, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Congenital heart defects affect approximately one in every hundred births and are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States. Despite successes in surgical treatment, suboptimal outcomes remain common. Surgical treatment of complex, rare congenital heart valve defects typically follows an empirical, retrospective, “guess and check” approach. Further, children with congenital valve defects […]

    ESE Spring Seminar – “An interdisciplinary approach to advance quantum science and technology”

    March 19, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Quantum science and technology hold the promise to deepen our understanding of the universe and deliver groundbreaking technical innovations. The opportunity also poses a grand challenge to today’s scientists and engineers because initializing, controlling, manipulating, and measuring quantum information while maintaining coherence and entanglement can be very difficult. Therefore, successfully achieving breakthroughs will require an […]

    CIS Seminar: Generalizing Outside the Training Distribution through Compositional Generation”

    March 19, 2024 @ 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Generative AI has led to stunning successes in recent years but is fundamentally limited by the amount of data available.  This is especially limiting in the embodied setting – where an agent must solve new tasks in new environments. In this talk, I’ll introduce the idea of compositional generative modeling, which enables generalization beyond the […]

    ASSET Seminar: “Bridging the Gap Between Deep Learning Theory and Practice” (Micah Goldblum, New York University)

    March 20, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    ABSTRACT:  Despite the widespread proliferation of neural networks, the mechanisms through which they operate so successfully are not well understood.  In this talk, we will first explore empirical and theoretical investigations into neural network training and generalization and what they can tell us about why deep learning works.  Then, we will examine a recent line […]

    Rigorous and Glamorous in 100 Words or Less: An Abstract Workshop

    March 20, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM /
    rsvp for zoom link

    It’s hard to write an abstract. It’s harder to write a glamorous one that tells your story without overselling your results. Community for Rigor is here to help! Join Professor Konrad Kording for a rigorous abstract writing workshop on March 20th, 2024. Together, let’s lovingly glam up abstracts from the Community and make the most of 100 […]
