Prof. Hal Daume III: Complex Predictions need not be Slow
Mon, Sep 17, 2012 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Hal Daume III,
Talk Title: Complex Predictions need not be Slow
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: Abstract: Classic algorithms for predicting structured data (eg., graphs, trees, etc.) or rankings rely on expensive (sometimes intractable) inference at test time. In this talk, I'll discuss several recent approaches that enable computationally efficient (eg., linear-time) prediction at test time. These approaches fall in the category of learning algorithms that explicitly optimize a speed/accuracy trade-off, or optimize accuracy under a fixed computational budget. This is joint work with: Jason Eisner, Lise Getoor, Jiarong Jiang, He He, Adam Teichert, Tim Vieira, Jay Pujara and Lidan Wang.
Host: Fei Sha

MHI Ph.D. Scholar Public Talk Competition
Mon, Sep 17, 2012 @ 04:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
Each year, a select group of top Ph.D. students from the EE department are selected as "Ming Hsieh Institute Ph.D. Scholars." This set of students will be chosen carefully by a faculty committee on the basis of their research accomplishments and desire for an academic career beyond the Ph.D. The MHI Ph.D. Scholars are considered the top students in the department and prove to be leaders.
All MHI Ph.D. Scholar Applicants are selected through a two-phase process by a faculty evaluation committee. The application process for the 2012-2013 Scholars begins on 9/4 and are due by 5pm on September 9, 2012. It's strongly encouraged that you attend the information luncheon on 9/4 before submitting an application.
8-10 finalists will be selected in the initial phase and will present their research at this public talk competition.
Finalists will give short talks about their research, and out of this group of finalists, 3-4 students will be selected to represent the department and MHI as Ming Hsieh Institute Ph.D. Scholars.
To view our current and past Ming Hsieh Ph.D. Scholars please visit: http://mhi.usc.edu/scholars
