Abstract: The relevant limit for machine learning is not N → infinity but instead N → 0. The human visual system is proof that it is possible to learn categories with extremely few samples. This talk will discuss steps towards building such systems and it is structured in three parts. The first part will discuss […]
*This will be a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance via Zoom here… ABSTRACT Locomotion and perception are a common thread between robotics and biology. Understanding these phenomena at a mechanical level involves nonlinear dynamics and the coordination of many degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will discuss geometric approaches […]

Diverse clean energy technologies rely on critical elements, e.g. rare earths, whose separation and purification pose unique challenges. And whose environmental footprints are severe. Dr. Eric Schelter, Dr. Kate Stebe, and Dr. Daniel Nothaft will discuss the challenges and new ideas to meet them.
This panel will discuss the state of affairs in Chester PA and environmental (in)justice. Current research and community assessment of environmental vulnerability of Chester will be presented, air quality control issues will be discussed as well as community efforts for empowerment and legislative action. Speakers: Jennifer Horney, University of Delaware Dora Williams, Community Organizer […]
The science is clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change we’ll need aggressive, economy-wide decarbonization in combination with atmospheric carbon removal at the billion-ton scale. These efforts will require unprecedented management of carbon dioxide through strategic technical deployment and infrastructure buildout. But given the rapid pace and scale of deployment ahead, how can we […]
Fall 2022 Hybrid-Seminar Series Mondays 1.00-2.00 pm (EST) Towne 225 / Raisler Lounge For Zoom link, please contact <manu@seas.upenn.edu
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance via Zoom. ABSTRACT I will discuss several our recent advances in understanding minimal problems in computer vision using numerical algebraic geometry tools, i.e., Homotopy continuation and monodromy, as well as machine learning. I will talk about our classification of minimal […]
