CIS Seminar: “Advances in Machine Learning Systems Research”
A long-standing grand challenge in computing is to enable machines to act autonomously and intelligently: to rapidly and repeatedly take appropriate actions based on information in the world around them. […]
CIS Seminar: “Theoretical Reflections on Quantum Supremacy”
The recent demonstration of quantum supremacy by Google is a first step towards the era of small to medium scale quantum computers. In this talk I will explain what the experiment accomplished and the theoretical […]
CIS Seminar:”Critical Computing Education
Computing can be a wondrous, powerful tool, bringing us information, experiences, and connections that transform our lives for the better. However, as many of us have learned, computing has also […]
CIS Seminar:”Language, Brain, and Computation”
How does the brain beget the mind? How do molecules, cells and synapses effect reasoning, intelligence, language? Despite dazzling progress in experimental neuroscience, as well as in cognitive science […]
SIG Seminar: “Coupling Sub-Grid Solids, Simulating Liquid Metals, and Inferring Facial Expressions”
This lecture will discuss recent results in computational physics, computer graphics, and learning/data science. The first section will present a method for accurately simulating two-way solid-fluid coupling even when solids […]
CIS Seminar: “Experiencing a new Internet architecture”
Imagining a new Internet architecture enables us to explore new networking concepts without the constraints imposed by the current infrastructure. What are the benefits of a routing protocol that does […]
CIS Seminar: “Engineering Approximate Computations”
There’s a new ecosystem of applications that integrates machine learning into a variety of tasks. Typical domains have included image recognition and natural language processing. However, these techniques have also […]
CIS Seminar: “Recovering, manipulating and enhancing recorded speech (1905-2020)”
This talk will survey several recent projects dealing with recorded speech. The first explores an optical process for recovering sound recorded onto postcards using a forgotten technology from more than […]
CIS Seminar: “Embodied perception in-the-wild”
Computer vision is undergoing a period of rapid progress, rekindling the relationship between perception, action, and cognition. Such connections may be best practically explored in the context of autonomous robots. […]
