Six Sigma Black BeltMon, Oct 25, 2010 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA, TBA
Talk Title: Six Sigma Black Belt
Abstract: Learn the advanced problem-solving skills you need to implement the principles, practices and techniques of Six Sigma to maximize performance and cost reductions in your organization. During this three-week practitioner course, you will learn how to measure a process, analyze the results, develop process improvements and quantify the resulting savings. You will be required to complete a project demonstrating mastery of appropriate analytical methods and pass an examination to earn IIEâs Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate.This practitioner course for Six Sigma implementation provides extensive coverage of the Six Sigma process as well as intensive exposure to the key analytical tools associated with Six Sigma, including project management, team skills, cost analysis, FMEA, basic statistics, inferential statistics, sampling, goodness of fit testing, regression and correlation analysis, reliability, design of experiments, statistical process control, measurement systems analysis and simulation. Computer applications are emphasized.

Eta Kappa Nu Professor Pumpkin Costume Contest
Mon, Oct 25, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
It's here again! The moment that you have been waiting an entire year for has once again arrived! I think you know what I'm talking about. This is the day when you make YOUR PROFESSOR wear a PUMPKIN COSTUME to class all day!
Members of Eta Kappa Nu (the EE and CECS Honor Society) will be stationed in the E-Quad today as well as tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/26). We will have jars labeled with professors' names, in which you will be able to make donations according to who you would like to see in the pumpkin costume. The professor with the most money donated in his name at the end of Tuesday will be the "winner", and will have the honor of wearing the costume to his classes on Thursday, the 28th.
This year, the competitors are:
Professor Redekopp (defending champion)
Professor Nazarian
Professor Hashemi
Professor Burke
Professor Bickers
All proceeds benefit MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement), an organization dedicated to increasing the interest and enrollment in Engineering classes among K-12 age students. You can learn more about USC MESA at http://viterbi.usc.edu/students/undergrad/ced/precollege/mesa/
Hope to see everybody there!

CS Colloquium

Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Janusz Marecki, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
Talk Title: Playing in the Dark: On Solving Single/Multistage Bayesian Stackelberg Games with Unknown Player Preferences
Abstract: Recent years have seen a rise in interest in applying game theoretic methods to real world domains such as public surveillance or infrastructure security wherein one player (the leader) chooses a strategy to commit to and waits for the other player (the follower) to respond. In arriving at optimal leader strategies in these domains, of critical importance is the leader's ability to act, often over prolonged periods of time, despite its limited knowledge of the preferences of the follower. In this talk I will first present a suite of efficient algorithms for solving single-stage Bayesian Stackelberg Games with distributional uncertainty over follower payoffs. I will then describe an efficient sampling based algorithm for solving multi-stage Bayesian Stackelberg Games where follower payoffs can initially be unknown. Finally, I will discuss the limitations of the proposed algorithms, in light of the novel business applications of Bayesian Stackelberg Games.
Biography: Janusz Marecki is a research staff member at the mathematical sciences department at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Janusz obtained his Ph.D in artificial intelligence form from University of Southern California and Dr.Sc in mathematical modeling from State Scientific and Research Institute of Information Infrastructure in Ukraine. Prior to joining IBM Research, Janusz was a research assistant at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research, a research associate at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and a lecturer at the Academy of Computer Sciences in Poland. His research interests are in reasoning under uncertainty in single/multiagent systems with an emphasis on planning with continuous resources in stochastic environments. He is an author of over 80 refereed publications and four patents.
