ASSET Seminar: Kilian Weinberger (Cornell University)
ASSET Seminar: “Wood Wide Models”
Abstract: Foundation models are monolithic models that are trained on a broad set of data, and which are then in principle fine-tuned to various specific tasks. But they are ill-suited […]
ASSET Seminar: “Towards Pluralistic Alignment: Foundations for Learning from Diverse Human Preferences”
Abstract: Large pre-trained models trained on internet-scale data are often not ready for safe deployment out-of-the-box. They are heavily fine-tuned and aligned using large quantities of human preference data, usually […]
ASSET Seminar: “Robustness in the Era of LLMs: Jailbreaking Attacks and Defenses”
Abstract: Despite efforts to align large language models (LLMs) with human intentions, popular LLMs such as chatGPT, Llama, Claude, and Gemini are susceptible to jailbreaking attacks, wherein an adversary fools a targeted LLM into […]
ASSET Seminar: “Representation-based Learning and Control for Dynamical Systems”
Abstract: The explosive growth of machine learning and data-driven methodologies have revolutionized numerous fields. Yet, the translation of these successes to the domain of dynamical physical systems remains a significant […]
ASSET Seminar: “Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Programming”
Abstract: For decades, we have built software by writing code, but in recent years machine learning has emerged as a new approach to create software with features that would be […]
IC2S2 Conference Virtual Keynote: “Societies are complex systems. So, how to manage them?”
To kick off the IC2S2 conference being held right here at the University of Pennsylvania, we warmly invite you to join us for Dirk Helbing’s (ETH Zurich) Virtual Keynote address […]
infoLeNS Seminar: “Emerging computational imaging inverse problems: from theory to algorithms”
In this talk, I will focus on two challenging imaging systems: snapshot compressive imaging and coherent imaging under speckle noise interference. I will begin by reviewing the core mathematical modeling […]
Community for Rigor Public Talk and Live Podcast Recording: “Rigor in Plain English”
You’ve probably seen reports about reproducibility issues and science gone wrong due to lack of rigor. But what does it mean to do rigorous scientific research? If the word conjures […]
