Building a Sustainable Future: Empowering the Next Generation.

ESE Guest Seminar – “Challenges and Opportunities in Radio Frequency Power Conversion for Semiconductor Plasma Applications”
/
CTA
Radio frequency (RF) plasma technology is essential in modern semiconductor fabrication, enabling precise processes such as etching and deposition. As the industry advances toward increasingly complex three-dimensional structures and smaller […]

ESE Ph.D. Seminar: “Temporal Knockoffs: Variable selection for time-varying systems with e-processes”
/
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building
220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
One of the primary goals of ‘explainable AI’ is the identification of a small subset of explanatory variables in an attempt to understand interesting phenomena. The Markov blanket constitutes one […]

FOLDS SEMINAR: The Hidden Width of Deep ResNets
/
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414
3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/6130182858 We present a mathematical framework to analyze the training dynamics of deep ResNets that rigorously captures practical architectures (including Transformers) trained from standard random initializations. Our […]
