    ASSET Seminar: Explainable AI via Semantic Information Pursuit (René Vidal, Johns Hopkins University)

    September 21, 2022 @ 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM /
    Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Presentation Abstract: There is a significant interest in developing ML algorithms whose final predictions can be explained in domain-specific terms that are understandable to a human. Providing such an “explanation” can be crucial for the adoption of ML algorithms in risk-sensitive domains such as healthcare. This has motivated a number of approaches that seek to […]

    September 22, 2022 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    For functional materials that are in a nascent stage, such as the antiferromagnetic spintronics, quantum information storage, and new semiconducting compounds, it is not clear what will be the high-performance materials of tomorrow. There is a pressing need to examine the complex properties of these emerging materials, and growing single crystals is a crucial step […]

    Theory Seminar- Recent Developments in Combinatorial Auctions, Matt Weinberg (Princeton University)

    September 23, 2022 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    Room 401B, 3401 Walnut 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: In a combinatorial auction there are m items, and each of n players has a valuation function v_i which maps sets of items to non-negative reals. A designer wishes to partition the items into S_1,…,S_n to maximize the welfare (\sum_i v_i(S_i) ), perhaps assuming that all v_i lie in some class V (such as […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Manually-Operated, Slider Cassette for Multiplexed Molecular Detection at the Point of Care”

    September 23, 2022 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM /
    Room 2C8, David Rittenhouse Laboratory Building 209 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Effective control of epidemics, individualized medicine, and new drugs with virologic response-dependent dose and timing require, among other things, simple, inexpensive, multiplexed molecular detection platforms suitable for point of care and for home use. Conventional molecular detection methods such as PCR tests, require bulky and expensive equipment, trained personnel, and specialized laboratories, limiting their use […]

    ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Lattice Theory in Multi-Agent Systems”

    September 26, 2022 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM /
    Moore 317 200 S 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Ordered sets model signals such as binary relations, concepts, partitions, rankings, matchings, events, as well as other taxa of information, temporal, hierarchical, relational, or, in general, logical in nature. We argue that (order-) lattice-based (networked) multi-agent systems constitute a broad class of systems in which data fusion, consensus, synchronization, and other collaborative tasks are described […]

    MEAM Seminar: “Development of Astronomical Instrumentation to Study the Birth and Evolution of the Universe”

    September 27, 2022 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM /
    Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    The study of the early universe requires deep high-resolution maps of the sky at millimeter and submillimeter. This requires the development of state-of-the-art cryogenic receivers and custom built telescopes. These instruments operate in extreme locations including from NASA launched high-altitude balloons over Antarctica and high (5,200m/17,000ft) mountain tops in Northern Chile adding a level of […]

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Surface and Interface Engineering in Manipulation and Fabrication of Colloid-Based Sub-Microporous Hierarchical Materials and Their Applications”

    September 28, 2022 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM /
    Moore 212

    Nanolattices exhibit attractive mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but it is challenging to fabricate nanolattices in large scale while maintaining the dense hierarchical nanometer features that enable their properties. Current advanced fabrication methods, like 3D printing or self-assembly, are significantly limited by their scalability or the cracking problem in the assembled templates. This work […]
