MSE Inaugural David P. Pope Lecture: “High-entropy alloys: what’s all the fuss about?”
CIS Seminar: “Machine Learning: Why Do Simple Algorithms Work So Well?”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
While state-of-the-art machine learning models are deep, large-scale, sequential and highly nonconvex, the backbone of modern learning algorithms are simple algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent, or Q-learning (in the […]
MEAM Seminar: “Force, Shape, and Motion in Collective Cell Migration”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Cells migrate collectively to form tissues, to heal wounds, and, in cancer, to metastasize. During these biological processes, the collective migration exhibits a transition from a solid-like state, wherein cell […]
CIS Seminar: “Computer Security for Emerging Technologies”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
As our world becomes more computerized, security and privacy takes on a prominent role in allowing us to enjoy the benefits of new technologies without the risks. Addressing the new […]
CBE Seminar: “Particle Transport in Soft, Disordered Media”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
ESE Seminar: “Control of Light and Heat for New Energy Applications”
/
Light carries energy and heat, and plays a key role in many energy-conversion processes. The capabilities to tailor electromagnetic energy transfer at the nanoscale represent important opportunities for novel energy […]
BE Seminar Series: Applied Topology in Biological Systems
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Though rooted in pure mathematics, algebraic topology has recently enabled novel analysis techniques for biological data. Specifically, the method called persistent homology which employs ideas from topology to characterize the […]
BE Seminar Series: Synchronization is Robust in a Computational Model of Neuronal Network Dynamics and Injury
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
At the macroscale, synchronization between brain regions is believed to be important for memory and attention. Injury, including mild traumatic brain injury, can both increase and decrease synchronization as measured […]
BE Seminar Series: Heterogeneous, Multi-Scale and Patient-Speci C Pharmacodynamic Systems Models for Cancer with Clinical Applications
/
Room 337, Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Systems models of key signaling pathways in cancer have been extensively used to understand and explore the mechanisms of action of drugs and growth factors on cancer cell signaling. […]
CIS Seminar: “Improving Security at an Internet Scale: A Data-Driven Approach”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
The state of security across the Internet is poor, and it has been so for years. Meanwhile, attacks have become ever more frequent and consequential. How do we actually make […]
ESE Seminar: “Safety and Robustness Guarantees with Learning in the Loop”
/
In this talk, we present recent progress towards developing learning-based control strategies for the design of safe and robust autonomous systems. Our approach is to recognize that machine learning algorithms […]
CIS Seminar: “Towards Human-Level Recognition via Contextual, Dynamic, and Predictive Representations”
/
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall
3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Existing state-of-the-art computer vision models usually specialize in single domains or tasks, while human-level recognition can be contextual for diverse scales and tasks. This specialization isolates different vision tasks […]
