Day At The Museum
Fri, Oct 25, 2013 @ 09:30 AM - 01:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Receptions & Special Events
Join us as we host 110 Quincy Jones Elementary School 4th and 5th graders at the California Science Center. We will pique these students' interests in STEM fields as we tour them to specified locations watch an IMAX Hubble 3D Film, and, last but not least, take the students through the Endeavour Exposé.
Of course there will be food as we will have a Subway brunch with them.
As always you do not need to stay there for the duration of the entire event, you can sign up below for the times that best fit you.

HTE@USC Information Session
Fri, Oct 25, 2013 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Viterbi School of Engineering Doctoral Programs
Workshops & Infosessions
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the Keck School of Medicine of USC are proud to present an interdisciplinary educational program for medical and engineering students. Health, Technology and Engineering (HTE@USC) will augment the training of select doctors and engineers through project-focused collaboration resulting in the most effective and efficient solutions to real-world healthcare problems.
HTE@USC is part of a larger USC effort to promote rapid advances in healthcare through research and education combining the essentials of medicine with advanced engineering and scientific technologies. As active members of inter-disciplinary teams linking researchers at both the Keck and Viterbi Schools, students will learn the patient-centered research approaches required to address the healthcare needs of all patients, including those from traditionally underserved populations.
More information on the HTE@USC program can be found at http://hte.usc.edu/.
Please RSVP by October 24 via https://usc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_7Oj4w3aiCu3VqeNLocation: Olin Hall of Engineering (OHE) - 120
Audiences: 1st year Ph.D. Students

NL Seminar- Roy Schwartz :"Authorship Attribution of Micro-Messages"
Fri, Oct 25, 2013 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Roy Schwartz, NLP Lab, Hebrew University in Jerusalem
Talk Title: "Authorship Attribution of Micro-Messages"
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: Work on authorship attribution has traditionally focused on long texts. In this work, we tackle the question of whether the author of a very short text can be successfully identified. We use Twitter as an experimental testbed. We introduce the concept of an author's unique "signature", and show that such signatures are typical of many authors when writing very short texts. We also present a new authorship attribution feature ("flexible patterns") and demonstrate a significant improvement over our baselines. Our results show that the author of a single tweet can be identified with good accuracy.

Integrated Systems Seminar Series
Fri, Oct 25, 2013 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Fred Lee, Fairchild Semiconductor
Talk Title: Mixed-signal IC design for MEMS-based systems
Series: Integrated Systems Seminar Series
Abstract: In the last decade, a boom in commercial MEMS-based sensors and products have found widespread adoption in our world. We will discuss mixed-signal IC architectures in four mainstream areas of MEMS-based systems: timing references, temperature sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes. Finally, we will conclude with forward-looking thoughts on how "the cloud" and humanity's desire for "passively aware intelligence" will grow the demand for many other sensor systems in the next decade and beyond.
Biography: Fred S. Lee received the B.S./M. Eng. and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA in 2002 and 2007, focusing on analog/RF circuits and low energy ultra-wideband radios. From 2007 to 2008, he was with Rambus Inc. in Los Altos, CA, working on multi-GHz wireline and 60GHz wireless transceivers. From 2008 to 2011, he was with SiTime, in Sunnyvale, CA, developing MEMS-based fractional-N PLLs, MEMS-based temperature sensors, and RF/mixed-signal circuits. Currently, he is with Fairchild Semiconductor, developing MEMS and sensor solutions. He was a co-recipient of the ISLPED Low Power Design Contest Award in 2002, DAC/ISSCC Student Design Contest Award in 2004 and the ISSCC Jack Kilby Best Student Paper Award in 2007.
