Center of Autonomy and AI, Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things, and Ming Hsieh Institute Seminar Series
Thu, Nov 11, 2021 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Inigo Incer, University of California, Berkeley
Talk Title: The Algebra of Contracts
Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things
Abstract: Contract-based design has been proposed as a formal design methodology to support compositional design in industry. Assume-guarantee (AG) contracts are formal specifications consisting of two trace properties: (i) assumptions made on the environment and (ii) responsibilities imposed on the object under specification when the environment behaves according to the contract's assumptions. In this talk, we will first discuss all algebraic operations known on AG contracts, and the applications of these operations in engineering design. As there are many formal design attributes, such as secure information flow, that cannot be expressed with trace properties or AG contracts, we will then discuss the theory of hypercontracts, which enables us to carry out assume-guarantee reasoning in complex systems using arbitrary hyperproperties.
Biography: Inigo Incer is a doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley advised by Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. He is interested in all aspects of cyber-physical systems, emphasizing AI and formal methods that support their compositional design and analysis. Before pursuing a PhD, Inigo was an IC designer in Austin. His work has been supported by a UC Berkeley Chancellor's Fellowship and by NSF and DARPA grants.

CS Colloquium: Jerry Mendel (USC) - Explainable Ai (XAI) for Rule-Based Fuzzy Systems
Thu, Nov 11, 2021 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Jerry Mendel, Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California
Talk Title: Explainable Ai (XAI) for Rule-Based Fuzzy Systems
Series: Computer Science Colloquium
Abstract: There is a sentiment in the fuzzy community that fuzzy rules would be of great value in XAI because such rules use words (which are modeled as fuzzy sets) and so they lend themselves naturally to XAI. This talk challenges that sentiment, in a constructive way. It explains why it is not valid to explain the output of Mamdani or TSK fuzzy systems using IF-THEN rules, but that it is valid to explain the output of such fuzzy systems as an association of the antecedents of a small subset of the original larger set of rules, using a phrase such as "These linguistic antecedents are symptomatic of this output". It also describes a novel multi-step approach to obtain such a small subset of rules for fuzzy systems, how Linguistic Approximation can be used to express the antecedent membership functions (the symptoms) linguistically, and a method for estimating the quality of linguistic explanations.

This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.
Biography: Jerry Mendel received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY. Currently, he is (since Jan. 2018) Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He has published close to 600 technical papers and is author and/or co-author of 12 books. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, a Distinguished Member of the IEEE Control Systems Society, and a Fellow of the International Fuzzy Systems Association. He was President of the IEEE Control Systems Society in 1986, a member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society for nine years, and Chairman of its Fuzzy Systems Technical Committee and the Computing With Words Task Force of that Technical Committee. Among his awards are four IEEE Transactions best paper awards, a 1984 IEEE Centennial Medal, an IEEE Third Millenium Medal, and a Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award from the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. According to Google Scholar (as of Sept. 9, 2021) he has 58,428 citations, an h-index of 97 and an i10-index of 310. His present research interests include: type-2 fuzzy logic systems and XAI for rule-based systems.
