Short Course: Lean Green BeltFri, May 29, 2015
DEN@Viterbi, Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Abstract: This three-day course provides an in-depth understanding of lean enterprise principles and how to apply them within your organization. Your lean journey begins with a series of interactive simulations that demonstrate how each lean concept is applied and its impact on the process. Mapping the process flow and identifying the activities that add value from the customer's perspective is the cornerstone of this class. The class is then given a scenario and the students simulate the conversion from traditional to lean in a practical hands-on environment. The course also provides a structure for how to manage a lean process for continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to structure their organizations to support and continuously improve a lean process. Participants will also fully understand how to implement 5S within their plants and how to begin reducing setup time using the SMED process.

CS Colloquium: Baoquan Chen (Shandong University) - 3D Urban Sensing and Visualization
Fri, May 29, 2015 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Baoquan Chen, Shandong University
Talk Title: 3D Urban Sensing and Visualization
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: 3D modeling of urban environments starts to play an increasingly important role in the emerging technologies from self-driving car to augmented reality. Beyond helping a human or a vehicle navigate, 3D urban models provide a base for spatially registering otherwise chaotic urban data, both sensor sensed and user generated, for better 'mapping' of urban big data. In this talk, I will introduce our decade long effort on acquiring and modeling large urban environments as well as analyzing and visualizing urban activities. I will also discuss future developments in this direction.
Biography: Baoquan Chen is a Professor and Dean (CS & Software) of Shandong University. Prior to the current post, he was the founding director of the Visual Computer Research Center, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a faculty member at CS&E at the University of Minnesota at Twin Cities. His research interests generally lie in computer graphics, visualization, and human-computer interaction. Chen received PhD in CS from SUNY@Stony Brook, and MS in EE from Tsinghua. He received NSF CAREER award in 2003 and IEEE Visualization Best Paper Award in 2005. Chen served as conference chair of IEEE Visualization 2005, and more recently SIGGRAPH Asia 2014.

NL Seminar-How to Make a Frenemy: Multitape FSTs for Portmanteau Generation
Fri, May 29, 2015 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Aliya Deri, USC/ISI
Talk Title: How to Make a Frenemy: Multitape FSTs for Portmanteau Generation
Abstract: A portmanteau is a type of compound word that fuses the sounds and meanings of two component words; for example, "frenemy" (friend + enemy) or smog (smoke + fog). We develop a system, including a novel multitape FST, that takes an input of two words and outputs possible portmanteaux. Our system is trained on a list of known portmanteaux and their component words, and achieves 45% exact matches in cross-validated experiments.
Biography: Aliya Deri is a PhD candidate at USC/ISI.
Host: Nima Pourdamghani and Kevin Knight
