Talk Title: Logic Driven Data Science
Abstract: Data science together with machine learning is prevalent in almost every sector of industry. Many popular techniques, such as deep learning with artificial neural networks, have shown their capabilities in achieving incredible performance and accuracy in helping make Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) smarter. However, data scientists or engineers usually find it challenging to interpret the artifacts learned using such procedures. Also, due to the proliferation of sensors, control engineers have to combat the data deluge problem. They need to process, analyze, and identify structure or logical relations from intractably large amounts of time series data within limited amount of time. Typical machine learning techniques rely on similarity measures defined on complex feature spaces of signals and may overlook the embedded logical structure. In this talk, we explore data analysis from the logical perspective and introduce supervised and unsupervised learning procedures that utilize Parametric Signal Temporal Logic (PSTL) templates to discover temporal and spatial relations in signal space. The resulting methods not only perform data analysis but also generate formal artifacts to give engineers abstract understanding of the results. We will demonstrate our techniques in many domains, such as automotive testing, medical devices, and online education systems.

Using Theory to Reveal Function in Large Brain Circuits

Talk Title: Using Theory to Reveal Function in Large Brain Circuits
Abstract: Current technology provides a virtual deluge of information about brain structure and physiology. Our laboratory focuses on developing new theoretical frameworks and analytical methods that take advantage of this accelerated rate of data influx to address central problems in neuroscience. I will discuss three different projects.
High-density multi-electrode recordings monitor the spike trains of individual neurons with unparalleled temporal accuracy and also provide spatially distributed information about local field potentials (LFPs), slow signals generated by groups of neurons. In hippocampus, the relative timing between the spikes of a certain class of neurons (place cells) and a 10 Hz signal present in the LFP (the theta wave) carries information about the animal's position in the environment. Using data obtained in the Buzsaki laboratory, we developed a novel approach to decode the animal's position precisely from the LFP alone. Further, we were able to extract LFP place components, like place cells, neatly tile the spatial environment. The LFP is far simpler to record than spike trains, and is feasible to obtain from human patients. Thus, our results can be leveraged to build robust brain computer interfaces.
Integration of information across regions and modalities is a fundamental working principle of the brain. We developed a novel method to estimate integrated information. The method can be applied to recordings with large numbers (thousands) of channels. We recently provided the first estimate of integrated information in a whole animal, the behaving nematode (C-elegans). Further, we found that the mesoscopic mouse connectome integrates significantly more information than other network architectures, suggesting that integrated information is a plausible force for driving evolution.
Theoretical principles, such as Hebbian plasticity, error-based, and reward-based learning give insight into how the brain form sensory codes, object categories, and develop strategies to obtain rewards. However, we lack principles to understand how the brain guides the body to explore the environment efficiently such that it is possible to form models of the world from small numbers of observations. We proposed a novel principle that selects actions leading to the sensory observations that best improve the current model of the environment. This principle can be cast in a formal framework based on defining the information gain of the model. The resulting algorithm generates models of novel environments with greater speed than previously achieved. On one hand, the new principle generates testable predictions about how brains control action/perception loops, on the other it has technical applications in robotics and artificial intelligence.

The FuzzyLog Approach to Building Distributed Services

Speaker: Mahesh Balakrishnan, Yale University
Talk Title: The FuzzyLog Approach to Building Distributed Services
Abstract: Control plane applications such as coordination services, SDN controllers, filesystem namespaces, and big data schedulers have strong requirements for consistency as well as performance. Building such applications is currently a black art, requiring a slew of complex distributed protocols that are inefficient when layered and difficult to combine. The shared log approach (seen in the Corfu, Tango, and CorfuDB systems) achieves simplicity for distributed applications by replacing complex protocols with a single shared log; however, it does so by introducing a global ordering over all updates in the system, which can be expensive, unnecessary, and sometimes impossible. We propose the FuzzyLog abstraction, which provides applications the simplicity of a shared log without its drawbacks. The FuzzyLog allows applications to construct and access a durable, iterable partial order of updates in the system. FuzzyLog applications retain the simplicity of their shared log counterparts while extracting parallelism, providing a range of consistency guarantees and tolerating network partitions.
Biography: Mahesh Balakrishnan is an Associate Professor (pre-tenure) at Yale University since Fall 2015. He received a PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2009. He worked at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley from 2008 to 2014, where he co-led the CORFU and Tango projects on shared log systems, and briefly at VMware Research in 2015. His research interests span distributed systems, storage and networking. Currently, his research centers on new abstractions that simplify the construction of fast, reliable and consistent systems, while hiding the complexity of concurrency, failures and hardware details from programmers. He has published 35+ peer-reviewed papers in systems conferences such as SOSP, NSDI and FAST and journals such as TOCS. His current research is funded by NSF, Facebook Awards, and a VMware Early Career faculty grant.

Talk Title: The Internet of Everything and Industrie 4.0
Abstract: The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. These networks are currently being extended to have significant sensing capabilities, with the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT). With additional control we are entering the era of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS). In the near future the networks will go beyond physically linked computers to include multimodal-information from biological, cognitive, semantic, and social networks. This paradigm shift will involve symbiotic networks of people (social networks), smart devices, and smart phones or mobile personal computing and communication devices that will form smart net-centric systems and societies (SNSS), which is also known as Internet of Everything in the U.S. and Industrie 4.0 in Europe. These devices -“ and the network -- will be constantly sensing, monitoring, interpreting, and controlling the environment. In this talk, I will provide a unified framework for Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Smart Networked Systems and Societies, along with a brief introduction to Industrie 4.0. I will discuss the various research issues and representative projects at NIST.
Biography: Ram D. Sriram is currently the chief of the Software and Systems Division, Information Technology Laboratory, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Before joining the Software and Systems Division, Sriram was the leader of the Design and Process group in the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division, Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory, where he conducted research on standards for interoperability of computer-aided design systems. Prior to joining NIST, he was on the engineering faculty (1986-1994) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was instrumental in setting up the Intelligent Engineering Systems Laboratory. Sriram has co-authored or authored more than 250 publications, including several books. Sriram was a founding co-editor of the International Journal for AI in Engineering. Sriram received several awards including: an NSF's Presidential Young Investigator Award (1989); ASME Design Automation Award (2011); ASME CIE Distinguished Service Award (2014); the Washington Academy of Sciences' Distinguished Career in Engineering Sciences Award (2015); ASME CIE division's Lifetime Achievement Award (2016). Sriram is a Fellow of ASME, AAAS, IEEE and Washington Academy of Sciences, and a member (life) of ACM and AAAI.

Speaker: Yongdae Kim , Professor, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
Talk Title: Hacking Sensors
Abstract: Sensors are designed to measure sensor inputs (e.g., physical quantities) and transfer sensor outputs (e.g. voltage signal) into the embedded devices. In addition, sensor-equipped embedded systems (called sensing-and-actuation systems) decide their actuations according to these sensor outputs, and the systems have no doubt whether the sensor outputs are legitimate or not. Sensors are essential components for safety-critical systems such as self-driving cars, drones and medical devices. Breaking safety in these systems may cause loss of life or disasters. Because of these safety reasons, sensors are often designed to be robust against failure or faults. However, can they maintain safety under adversarial conditions? In this talk, I detail how sensors can be spoofed or prevented from providing correct operation through regular and side-channels. Attacks on various devices such as medical devices, drones, autonomous vehicles and smart wearables will be shown. I'll complete the talk with a few directions and guides to prevent these attacks with a few open problems.
Biography: Yongdae Kim is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and an Affiliate Professor in the GSIS at KAIST. He received his PhD from the computer science department at the University of Southern California in 2002. Between 2002 and 2012, he was an Associate/Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
