    Title: Towards Building a Live 3D Digital Twin of the World


    Committee: Prof. Ramesh Govindan (chair), Prof. Konstantinos Psounis, Prof. Barath Raghavan, Prof. Muhammad Naveed


    Zoom Link: https://usc.zoom.us/j/97896459075?pwd=dFJZd1N1aHUyUnlOMkFEQk56VW5zUT09


    Abstract:

    A live digital twin is a high-fidelity 3D representation of a physical object or scene. This digital representation continuously replicates the physical scene in near real-time. In my dissertation, I build systems that extract and leverage live digital twins of large outdoor areas. A live digital twin creates unprecedented capabilities for both computer and human consumption. It has the potential to improve safety and efficiency for autonomous driving, monitor on-going construction, and enable timely disaster relief operations etc. For humans, it means the possibility of digitally transporting to any place on the globe to live, interact and experience it in 3D like never before.


    These capabilities have strict performance and accuracy requirements. Achieving these requirements is not possible today for two reasons: limited wireless bandwidths, and limited on-board compute resources. To this end, my dissertation makes two contributions as follows. First, it builds re-usable perception infrastructure to extract live 3D digital twins with low latency and high accuracy. Second, it builds end-to-end cyber-physical systems that leverage live digital twins to enable some of the capabilities mentioned above. Evaluations show that we can extract twins of large physical areas within less than one second with centimeter level accuracy. Moreover, the cyber-physical systems we build which leverage these twins enable safer and more efficient autonomous driving.

    Speaker: Bichen Wu, Meta (former Facebook) Reality Labs

    Talk Title: Efficient Deep Learning for Computer Vision

    Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things

    Abstract: Deep neural networks are empowering increasingly more applications in computer vision. To deploy deep learning to more devices (edge, mobile, AR/VR glasses), we need to tackle numerous challenges to make deep learning more efficient. In this talk, we will focus on two important aspects of efficiency: model efficiency and data efficiency. Improving model efficiency enables packing stronger AI capabilities to devices with limited compute, while better data efficiency unblocks more applications constrained by lack of data. This talk will first introduce the FBNet series of work [1-4], which studies neural architecture search (NAS) methods to automatically develop compute-efficient models to achieve better accuracy-efficiency trade-offs. For data efficiency, this talk will introduce OTTER [5], a data-efficient algorithm that uses language to train vision models to recognize images in a zero-shot manner -- being able to recognize new classes without needing extra labels.

    Biography: Dr. Bichen Wu is a research scientist at Meta (former Facebook) Reality Labs. His research is focused on efficient deep learning algorithms, models, and systems, aiming to bring AI capabilities to massive edge devices and applications. His paper on Neural Architecture Search -- FBNet, is among the top 0.01% highest cited computer science papers published in 2019. He obtained his Ph.D. from Berkeley AI Research, UC Berkeley and his Bachelor of Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2013.

    University Calendar


    Title: On information captured by neural networks: connections with memorization, generalization, and learning dynamics

    Abstract:

    Despite their enormous capacity, modern neural networks generalize well. In this thesis proposal we use ideas from information theory to address various aspects of this phenomenon. We show that reducing label-noise information in network weights reduces memorization and improves generalization. We propose definitions for information content of data and introduce an efficient algorithm for estimating it. These definitions allow us to quantify amount of memorization of particular examples. Finally, we derive information-theoretic generalization gap bounds that depend on average information content of a single example. We demonstrate that these bounds are non-vacuous in the practical scenarios for deep learning.

    Speaker: Mr. Gerald Jerry Buckwalter, Chief Innovation Officer, American Society of Civil Engineers

    Talk Title: Future World Vision: Engineering the Future Built Environment

    Abstract: From climate change to autonomous vehicles, engineers are confronting a variety of environmental challenges, demographic shifts and technological changes that will require a drastic rethinking of how we build, operate, and maintain our infrastructure systems. Planning for the future is difficult for nearly every organization. ASCE decided to launch the Future World Vision project to help meet this challenge. We compiled and winnowed more than hundred global macrotrends to examine six important sociopolitical, economic, environmental, and technological trends as key drivers of change for future built infrastructure.

    Our desire is that the Future World Vision project will establish ASCE and civil engineers as bold thought leaders, provide a platform to envision the future built environment and ultimately optimize future system performance and the benefit to society, and be a next generation tool that interacts and resonates with those who will create the future built environment the next generation of civil engineers. The Future World Vision platform is an immersive computer model, using gaming engines, that will create virtual future worlds with evocative visuals, multiple characters and rich narratives that explore holistic city, community and neighborhood systems, including the cultural, social, economic, political, ethical and environmental aspects at different scales. This platform will enable engineers to ask the right questions about a future built environment that does not exist yet, contemplate solutions, postulate the resulting benefit to society well in advance of starting to design those solutions. This will enable us to better prepare engineers today for possible future needs and challenges.


    Biography: Gerald Jerry E. Buckwalter has more than 35 years of varied executive leadership in general management, business development, strategy and innovation, program operations and policy development. He has worked in infrastructure, electronics, information technology, commercial security, and technology services markets, spanning military, government, international and commercial domains.

    Mr. Buckwalter is the Chief Innovation Officer of ASCE and was formerly the Chief Operating and Strategy Officer. In that role, Jerry directs a forward-leaning strategic assessment and visualization project called Future World Vision where ASCE is creating a virtual and interactive computer model to assess potential built environments 50 years into the future. He also has his own consulting firm, Strategy Essentials, where he specializes in business, market, and technology strategic planning.

    Prior to joining ASCE, Mr. Buckwalter was a Northrop Grumman Corporate Director of Strategy. His responsibilities included reshaping the company business portfolio, mergers and acquisitions, long-term strategies, innovation initiatives and professional development. Jerry worked for many years coordinating company-wide homeland security business in border and transportation security, emergency preparedness and response, critical infrastructure protection and intelligence gathering.

    Mr. Buckwalter earned a degree in Physics from Monmouth University and has extensive continuing education at George Washington University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
