CSU@USC Day 1
Fri, Mar 05, 2021 @ 10:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Graduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
The University of Southern California-Viterbi School of Engineering is proud to present the first annual CSU at USC virtual workshop series!
Over the course of two days, this program will take an overall look at the engineering graduate school experience. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with current students, faculty and staff, and will walk away with an understanding of Masters & PhD programs in engineering and computer science. Our goal is to provide the pathways and tools needed for CSU students to pursue advanced studies and their academic careers.
Eligibility
*MUST Currently attend a California State University (CSU)*
We encourage students majoring in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or physical sciences (biology, chemistry, physics) to join. Students with backgrounds outside of science and engineering are also welcome to join to learn more about our interdisciplinary data science programs.

CS Colloquium: Daniel Fried (UC Berkeley) - Learning Grounded Pragmatic Communication
Fri, Mar 05, 2021 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Daniel Fried, UC Berkeley
Talk Title: Learning Grounded Pragmatic Communication
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: To generate language, natural language processing systems predict what to say---why not also predict how listeners will respond? We show how language generation and interpretation across varied grounded domains can be improved through pragmatic inference: explicitly reasoning about the actions and intents of the people that the systems interact with. We train neural generation and interpretation models which ground language into a world context, then layer a pragmatic inference procedure on top of these models. This pragmatic procedure predicts how human listeners will interpret text generated by the models, and reasons counterfactually about why human speakers produced the text they did. We find that this approach improves models' success at generating and interpreting instructions in real indoor environments, as well as in a challenging spatial reference dialogue task.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium
Biography: Daniel Fried is a final-year PhD candidate at UC Berkeley in natural language processing, advised by Dan Klein. His research focuses on language grounding: tying language to world contexts, for tasks like visual- and embodied-instruction following, text generation, and dialogue. Previously, he graduated with an MPhil from the University of Cambridge and a BS from the University of Arizona. His work has been supported by a Google PhD Fellowship, an NDSEG Fellowship, and a Churchill Scholarship.
Host: Xiang Ren
Audiences: By invitation only.

Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
** This is an external event hosted by Deloitte and you must RSVP to receive Zoom Meeting details **
RSVP to learn valuable insights into the consulting world at our Case Workshop and Networking event!
This is a great opportunity to learn more about our consulting practice, why we do case interviews, plus how your background and experiences could flourish at Deloitte.
This event will be broken up into two parts; an interactive case workshop (where practitioners will walk you thru a sample case study in which you will have an opportunity to practice and ask questions) and a networking session with various consultants (to answer any questions you may have about the firm, our culture, recruiting process, and how you could start your career with us!).
1:00 - 2:15pm PT = Case Workshop
2:15 - 3:30pm PT = Networking Session
