ASSET Seminar: Computational Social Listening for Public Health (Sharath Guntuku, University of Pennsylvania)
ABSTRACT: How can A.I.-based methods inform social listening applications during public health crises? The COVID-19 pandemic has uprooted the mode and method of human communication and interaction. The magnitude of […]
ASSET Seminar: Automated Decision Making for Safety Critical Applications, Mykel Kochenderfer (Stanford University)
ABSTRACT: Building robust decision making systems for autonomous systems is challenging. Decisions must be made based on imperfect information about the environment and with uncertainty about how the environment will […]
CIS Seminar: ” Exploring the role of scientific machine learning in electric power system decarbonization”
Electric power systems lie at the heart of efforts to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. Mitigation requires shifting electricity generation away from carbon-emitting technologies toward zero […]
CIS Grace Hopper Lecture: “Data Privacy is Important, But It’s Not Enough”
Our current data ecosystem leaves individuals, groups, and society vulnerable to a wide range of harms, ranging from privacy violations to subversion of autonomy to discrimination to erosion of trust […]
CIS Seminar: “Generative multitask learning mitigates target-causing confounding”
We propose a simple and scalable approach to causal representation learning for multitask learning. Our approach requires minimal modification to existing ML systems, and improves robustness to prior probability shift. […]
A Celebration of the Life of Dr. Max Mintz
The CIS Department and GRASP Lab invite you to please join us on Thursday, November 17th, at 3:30pm as we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Max Mintz, Professor […]
CIS Seminar: “Designing Hardware for Cryptography and Cryptography for Hardware”
There have been few high-impact deployments of hardware implementations of cryptographic primitives. We present the benefits and challenges of hardware acceleration of sophisticated cryptographic primitives and protocols, and describe our […]

CIS Seminar: “The Long Arm of Theoretical Computer Science: A Case Study in Blockchains/Web3”
Blockchains that support a general contract layer (e.g., Ethereum) export the functionality of a general-purpose, ownerless, and open-access computer that can enforce property rights for digital data. How is such […]
CIS Seminar: “Rater Equivalence: An Interpretable Measure of Classifier Accuracy Against Human Labels”
In many classification tasks, the ground truth is either noisy or subjective. Examples of noisy ground truth include: does this radiology image show a cancerous growth? does this radar data […]
