  • NL Seminar-Speech-to-Translation Alignment for Documentation of Endangered Languages

    Tue, Jan 10, 2017 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM

    Information Sciences Institute

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: David Chiang, Univ. of Notre Dame

    Talk Title: Speech-to-Translation Alignment for Documentation of Endangered Languages

    Series: Natural Language Seminar

    Abstract: I will give an overview of this project, focusing on the pieces that my student, Antonios Anastasopoulos, and I have been most involved in. Our work is based on the premise that spoken language resources are more readily annotated with translations than with transcriptions. A first step towards making such data interpretable would be to automatically align spoken words with their translations. I'll present a neural attentional model (Duong et al., NAACL 2016) and a latent-variable generative model (Anastasopoulos and Chiang, EMNLP 2016) for this task.





    Biography: David Chiang (PhD, University of Pennsylvania, 2004) is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research is on computational models for learning human languages, particularly how to translate from one language to another. His work on applying formal grammars and machine learning to translation has been recognized with two best paper awards (at ACL 2005 and NAACL HLT 2009). He has received research grants from DARPA, CIA, NSF, and Google, has served on the executive board of NAACL and the editorial board of Computational Linguistics and JAIR, and is currently on the editorial board of Transactions of the ACL.

  • CS Colloquium: David Rosenblum (National University of Singapore) - Uncertainty in Computer Systems: Problems and Results

    Fri, Jan 13, 2017 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: David Rosenblum, National University of Singapore

    Talk Title: Uncertainty in Computer Systems: Problems and Results

    Series: CS Colloquium

    Abstract: This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Computer Science Research Colloquium.

    For the past several years, my research has spanned problems in diverse areas including probabilistic verification, software testing, ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things. A common theme of this research has been the need to deal with various forms of uncertainty, which is an increasingly important concern in the design of modern computer systems. In this talk I will describe recent research on perturbation analysis for probabilistic model checking, which provides systematic ways of computing the effect that uncertainty in the probability parameters of stochastic models has on verification results. Time permitting, I will also discuss recent research on the use of contextual bandit algorithms to deal with uncertainty in service composition for the Internet of Things, and research on how uncertainty in software testing can mask the existence of software faults.

    Biography: David S. Rosenblum is Provost's Chair Professor of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University and joined NUS in April 2011 after holding positions as Member of the Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill); Associate Professor at the University of California, Irvine; Principal Architect and Chief Technology Officer of PreCache (a technology startup funded by Sony Music); and Professor of Software Systems at University College London. David is a Fellow of the ACM and IEEE, and he serves as Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (ACM TOSEM). He was previously Chair of the ACM Special Interest Group in Software Engineering (ACM SIGSOFT). He has received two "test-of-time" awards for his research papers, including the ICSE 2002 Most Influential Paper Award for his ICSE 1992 paper on assertion checking, and the first ACM SIGSOFT Impact Paper Award in 2008 for his ESEC/FSE 1997 on Internet-scale event observation and notification (co-authored with Alexander L. Wolf).
