Lyman L. Handy Colloquia: Sadasivan Shankar (Intel)
Thu, Nov 06, 2014 @ 12:45 PM - 02:00 PM
Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Sadasivan Shankar, Intel Corp.
Talk Title: From Atoms to Systems - Bridging of Theory to Applications
Series: Lyman L. Handy Colloquia
Abstract: The talk will have 3 parts:
1. Examples of specific industrial applications on computational processing, materials, and chemistry,
2. nanomaterials, and
3. thermodynamics of information processing.
Currently, development of materials from concept to product is both capital- and time-intensive.
Computational Materials Design is one of the techniques starting to get used to accelerate designing materials from atoms or condensed matter that when synthesized exhibits targeted properties at the systems level. As one of the earliest proponents and adopters of using Materials Design in the industry for bringing materials to prototyping faster, we have used a variety of techniques for industrial applications in semiconductor industry. We will show some examples of these applications. In this section of the talk, we will have talk about nano materials as the enabler for the next industrial revolution. In the next era, we contend that materials application will be based on nano dimensions, where size will be used to design materials with targeted properties. With the advent of so-called âsmartâ materials, nano dimensions (between atomic and macrostructures) is the front at which the difference between devices and materials will disappear, and both designed properties and synthesis will lead to new applications. This will also pose challenges in terms of modeling and characterization given the complex nature of the materials and the increased influence of interfaces between different nano-scale components. We will outline cases where these issues play out with examples drawn from multiple technology sectors, including the semiconductor and energy industries.
In the final section of the talk, we will use concepts of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and computing to assess efficiency of information processing. Energy or Power minimization is a universal macro-constraint for on-chip architectures. In addition, we will provide some pointers to architectures that could make existing systems more energy efficient.

CS Student Colloquium: Boqing Gong - Kernel Methods for Domain Adaptation
Thu, Nov 06, 2014 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Boqing Gong, USC
Talk Title: Kernel Methods for Domain Adaptation
Series: Student Seminar Series
Abstract: The problem of domain adaptation occurs when the test data (of a target domain) and training data (of some source domain(s)) are generated by different distributions. It arises in a variety of applications, including computer vision, natural language process, speech recognition, etc.
In this talk, I will present some of our recent efforts on unsupervised domain adaptation using kernel methods. One cannot solve the domain adaptation problems given arbitrary source-target pairs. We have to explore the structures or properties in data, under which potentially successful solutions exist. Kernel methods are versatile in modeling such structures or properties. I will demonstrate several kernel methods ("kernel trick", discriminative multiple kernel learning, kernel embedding of distributions, etc.) which have been successfully used to model the structures of subspaces, landmarks, and latent domains. I will also present a sequential determinantal point process (seqDPP) with applications to supervised video summarization. This serves as the starting point of my future work on domain adaptation for video analysis.

Second Spectrum Information Session
Thu, Nov 06, 2014 @ 05:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
We transform data from numbers to insight. Our proprietary platform can process large-scale spatiotemporal data to create analytics and semantics that extract meaning and generate interactive visualizations in real-time. Our goal is to enrich the way people interact with, understand, and enjoy sports.
Second Spectrum is interested in both both full time and internships.Location: Seeley G. Mudd Building (SGM) - 101
