ESE Spring Colloquium – “Quantum Many-Body Physics in the NISQ Era”
Rapid progress in quantum computing technologies is ushering in a new era for quantum many-body physics. Today’s noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, while still far from fault-tolerant quantum computers, are […]
ESE Spring Colloquium – “Autonomous Microsystems Based on Heterogeneously Integrated CMOS for Biological Big Data”
Minimally invasive and chronic physiological monitoring can provide an effective means of disease prevention and early detection while the cumulative big data can unveil hidden patterns in our physiology. Yet, […]
ESE Spring Colloquium – “Certifiable Outlier-Robust Geometric Perception: Robots that See through the Clutter with Confidence”
Geometric perception is the task of estimating geometric models (e.g., object pose and 3D structure) from sensor measurements and priors (e.g., point clouds and neural network detections). Geometric perception is […]
ESE Spring Colloquium – “The One Learning Algorithm Hypothesis– Towards Universal Machine Learning Models and Architectures”
We revisit the “One Learning Algorithm Hypothesis” of Andrew Ng (Google Brain) according to which the brain of higher-level animals and of humans processes and perceives sensory data (vision, sound, […]
Joseph Bordogna Forum: “Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”
Please join us for this distinguished lecture given by Dr. Gilda Barabino, President of Olin College of Engineering. “Engineering for Everyone: Centering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” At its core, engineering […]
ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Statistical Learning for System Identification, Prediction, and Control”
Despite the recent widespread success of machine learning, we still do not fully understand its fundamental limitations. Going forward, it is crucial to better understand learning complexity, especially in critical […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Harnessing Piezoelectricity in Novel Microsystems for Classical and Quantum Information Processing”
Piezoelectricity is the intrinsic coupling between electric fields and strains in materials. While piezoelectric sensors, actuators, and RF filters are ubiquitous and important components of existing microsystems, their potential is […]
ESE Fall Colloquium – “Processing in Memory: Past, Present, and Future”
Applications are increasingly data-intensive and bound by the performance of the memory and/or storage system. This “memory wall” arises from several factors: the volume of data is increasing exponentially, outstripping […]
ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “Alpha-loss: A Tunable Class of Loss Functions for Robust Learning”
Machine learning has dramatically enhanced the role of automated decision making across a variety of domains. There are three ingredients that are at the heart of designing of sound ML […]
ESE Fall Colloquium Seminar – “Data Compression: From Classical to Modern”
Lossy data compression is a vital, if hidden, enabling technology. This virtual seminar would be impossible without data compression! Existing compression standards for images and audio rely on a “classical” […]
