CIS Seminar: ” Rethinking the hardware-software contract: Enabling practical and general cross-layer optimizations”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Layered abstractions in the computing stack are critical to building complex systems, but the existing *interfaces* between layers restrict what can be done at each level. Enhancing cross-layer interfaces--specifically, the […]

/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
What would it mean for a machine to see the world? Computer vision has recently made great progress on problems such as finding categories of objects and scenes, and poses […]
CIS Seminar: “Language as a Scaffold for Grounded Intelligence:
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Natural language can be used to construct rich, compositional descriptions of the world, highlighting for example entities (nouns), events (verbs), and the interactions between them (simple sentences). In this […]
