Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things and Ming Hsieh Institute Seminar
Thu, Dec 05, 2019 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Lara Dolecek, University of California, Los Angeles
Talk Title: Context-Aware Coding for Computing Memories
Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things
Abstract: Error correction and detection are the core components of all modern memory systems. Current computing memory systems use simple coding schemes to simultaneously meet the resiliency and latency requirements. In this talk, we review our recent results on context-aware coding for computing memories, an approach that explicitly takes into account various intrinsic side information for improved robustness to faults. We discuss both error correction and detection, codes' theoretical properties, and provide examples of how these solutions can be implemented in practice. We explicitly describe the special case of the error localization codes. We also discuss promising future directions, connections with classical information theoretic concepts, and other applications. Joint work with C. Schoeny, M. Gottscho, I. Alam, and P. Gupta.

CS Colloquium: Melisa Orta Martinez (Stanford University) - Design and Analysis of Open-Source Haptic Devices for Educational Applications
Thu, Dec 05, 2019 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Melisa Orta Martinez, Stanford University
Talk Title: Design and Analysis of Open-Source Haptic Devices for Educational Applications
Series: Computer Science Colloquium
Abstract: Open-source hardware significantly impacts the development of technology by allowing communities of users with varied expertise to share, customize and collectively improve on designs. Most haptic hardware available outside of the research community is proprietary and expensive. This prevents communities of users from easily obtaining, building, modifying, and learning from the devices. I propose that the ability to easily obtain, assemble and customize a haptic device is especially important for educational applications. In this talk I present three open-source haptic devices, for which I carefully considered trade-offs in cost, ease of making, and performance -- toward making haptic devices more accessible for educational applications.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.

CAIS++ Fall 2019 Showcase
Thu, Dec 05, 2019 @ 07:00 PM - 08:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Alumni
Student Activity
Each semester, a new cohort is taught an introductory AI curriculum, complete with online lessons and in-person coding workshops.
Once members go through the curriculum, they are placed into teams to apply their skills to help solve real world problems.
By inviting speakers from both academia and industry, each cohort hopes to shed light on ways in which AI can be used to benefit society.More Information: CAIS Event Flyer.png
