Aviation Safety Management Systems ASMS 24-4Tue, Apr 09, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
A Safety Management System (SMS) is now required for international commercial aircraft operators, airports, and air traffic services. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the standards and implementing procedures for SMS. All 191 countries that are members of ICAO have established or are establishing regulatory requirements for the implementation of SMS. This course teaches how organizations can establish an SMS within the context of their current safety system that meets the basic international standards of ICAO. The SMS Framework serves as a central foundation for this course.
SMS is a safety system by which an organization takes a more active role in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating safety issues that occur in the normal operation of their organization. SMS requires that organizational management take responsibility for the company’s safety program. The SMS approach requires the safety/quality team to be educated in their duties and responsibilities. This course will give you the essential skills to manage an organizational Safety Management System (SMS). The attendee will be able to manage a Safety Management System that includes risk management, audits, data collection, analysis, and incident investigations.
This course is designed for the individual planning or directing an aviation Safety Management System program. Fundamentals in systems organization and structure provide the individual with the skills and methodology to plan and manage an effective program. Emphasis is placed on understanding the principles of risk management, identifying program development strategies, audits, and applying the knowledge toward effective management systems and interoperability with Quality Assurance.Location: Online

Artificial Intelligence System Safety AISYS 24-2
Tue, Apr 09, 2024 @ 08:00 AM - 04:00 PM
Aviation Safety and Security Program
University Calendar
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and autonomous systems have become pervasive in software applications. However, the implications for AI safety have created new concerns and risk factors, especially for autonomous vehicles. This course thoroughly surveys AI, machine learning, optimization, and autonomous vehicle techniques, followed by safety and hazard analysis methods. Along the way, we will bring clarity to definitions, actual capabilities of AI systems, and the current state of data science. Case studies and real-world incidents will also provide learnings and insights to advance the goal of AI safety.

CS Colloquium: Niloufar Salehi - Designing Reliable Human-AI Interactions: Translating Languages and Matching Students
Tue, Apr 09, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Niloufar Salehi, UC Berkeley
Talk Title: Designing Reliable Human-AI Interactions: Translating Languages and Matching Students
Abstract: How can users trust an AI system that fails in unpredictable ways? Machine learning models, while powerful, can produce unpredictable results. This uncertainty becomes even more pronounced in areas where verification is challenging, such as in machine translation, and where reliance depends on adherence to community values, such as student assignment algorithms. Providing users with guidance on when to rely on a system is challenging because models can create a wide range of outputs (e.g. text), error boundaries are highly stochastic, and automated explanations themselves may be incorrect. In this talk, I will first focus on the case of health-care communication to share approaches to improving the reliability of ML-based systems by guiding users to gauge reliability and recover from potential errors. Next, I will focus on the case of student assignment algorithms to examine modeling assumptions and perceptions of fairness in AI systems. This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium
Biography: Niloufar Salehi is an assistant professor in the School of Information at UC, Berkeley where she is a member of Berkeley AI Research (BAIR). She studies human-computer interaction, with her research spanning education to healthcare to restorative justice. Her research interests are social computing, human-centered AI, and more broadly, human-computer interaction (HCI). Her work has been published and received awards in premier venues including ACM CHI, CSCW, and EMNLP and has been covered in VentureBeat, Wired, and the Guardian. She is a W. T. Grant Foundation scholar for her work on promoting equity in student assignment algorithms. She received her PhD in computer science from Stanford University in 2018.

ECE Seminar: White-Box Computational Imaging: Measurements to Images to Insights
Tue, Apr 09, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Sara Fridovich-Keil, Postdoctoral Fellow | Department of Electrical Engineering | Stanford University
Talk Title: White-Box Computational Imaging: Measurements to Images to Insights
Abstract: Computation and machine learning hold tremendous potential to improve the quality and capabilities of imaging methods used across science, medicine, engineering, and art. Despite their impressive performance on benchmark datasets, however, deep learning methods are known to behave unpredictably on some real-world data, which limits their trusted adoption in safety-critical domains. Accordingly, in this talk I will describe white-box, interpretable methods for photorealistic volumetric reconstruction that match or exceed the performance of black-box neural alternatives. I will also present recent theoretical results that guarantee correct and efficient reconstruction using our white-box approach in nonlinear computed tomography.
Biography: Sara Fridovich-Keil is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, where she works with Mert Pilanci and Gordon Wetzstein on foundations and applications of machine learning and signal processing in computational imaging. She is currently supported by an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Sara received her PhD in electrical engineering and computer sciences in May 2023 from UC Berkeley, where she was advised by Ben Recht and supported by an NSF GRFP fellowship. Sara received her BSE in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 2018, where she was advised by Peter Ramadge and supported, in part, by a Barry Goldwater Scholarship.
