    ESE Fall Seminar – “Learning-NUM: Utility Maximization in Stochastic Queueing Networks”

    October 15, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    We consider the problem of network utility maximization (NUM) and propose a new Learning-NUM framework,  where the users’ utility functions are unknown apriori and the utility function values can be […]

    ASSET Seminar: “Some Displaced Vignettes on Generalized Notions of Equivariance”

    October 16, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract: The explicit incorporation of task-specific inductive biases through symmetry has emerged as a crucial design precept in the development of high-performance machine learning models. Symmetry-aware neural networks, such as […]

    Wednesday Oct 16

    MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Semantics-Driven Active Perception and Navigation with Aerial Robots”

    October 16, 2024 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM /
    Room 313, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Autonomous aerial robots today are capable of safely navigating through cluttered, GPS-denied environments while constructing an accurate map that captures geometric features such as points, lines, and planes. Such maps […]
