ESE Spring Seminar – “Machine Learning: Algorithmic and Economic Perspectives”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAlgorithms are increasingly integrated into various societal applications, often directly interacting with people and communities. This highlights the importance of understanding the interplay between algorithmic decisions and economic incentives when […]
IDEAS/STAT Optimization Seminar: “Foundations of Deep Learning: Optimization and Representation Learning”
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United StatesDeep learning's success stems from the ability of neural networks to automatically discover meaningful representations from raw data. In this talk, I will describe some recent insights into how optimization […]
PICS Colloquium: Powering decarbonization with modeling and optimization of renewables in the multi-scale atmosphere
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesTo meet net-zero carbon emissions targets by mid-century, up to a -fold increase in wind power capacity is required. Acceleration to this rate requires urgent improvements to efficiency and reliability […]
ESE Spring Seminar – “AI as a Lens: Expanding Vision for Scientific Discovery”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesConventional approaches to scientific discovery often prioritize building larger sensors, gathering more data, and scaling up computational power. In this talk, I will present a complementary perspective: extracting insights hidden […]
ESE Spring Seminar – “Quantum Simulation of Electronic Materials with a Superconducting Qubit Array”
Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesArrays of coupled superconducting qubits are a compelling platform for analog quantum simulations of solid-state matter and many-body physics. These devices natively emulate the Bose-Hubbard model while offering a high […]
IDEAS/STAT Optimization Seminar: “Theoretical foundations for multi-agent learning”
Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United StatesAs learning algorithms become increasingly capable of acting autonomously, it is important to better understand the behavior that results from their interactions. For example, a pervasive challenge in multi-agent learning […]
PICS Colloquium: Unraveling Internal Friction in a Coarse-Grained Protein Model
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesUnderstanding the dynamic behavior of complex biomolecules requires simplified models that not only make computations feasible but also reveal fundamental mechanisms. Coarse-graining (CG) achieves this by grouping atoms into beads, […]
