Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
This half day program is designed for prospective first-year students (High School juniors and younger) and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process, a student led walking tour of campus, and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. During the engineering session we will discuss the curriculum, research opportunities, hands-on projects, entrepreneurial support programs, and other aspects of the engineering school. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process, and financial aid.
Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m.
Please make sure to check availability and register online for the session you wish to attend. Reservations are required for the Meet USC program.
Also, remember to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

Title: Polygraph: A Plug-n-Play Framework to Quantify Application Anomalies
Date and Time: June 21, 9-11am in SAL 213
Abstract:
Polygraph is a plug-n-play tool to quantify application anomalies. Example anomalies include erroneous results attributed to a software bug or an incorrect implementation, dirty reads when a database management system is configured with a weak consistency setting, and stale data produced by a cache. Polygraph is application agnostic and scales to detect anomalies and compute freshness confidence in real-time. It consists of an authoring, monitoring, and validation components. An experimentalist uses Polygraph authoring tool to generate code snippets to embed in the application software. These code snippets generate log records capturing conceptual application transactions at the granularity of entities and their relationships. Polygraph validates application transactions in a scalable manner by dividing the task into sub-tasks that process fragments of log records concurrently. Polygraph's monitoring tool visualizes transactions to help reason about anomalies. Polygraph is extensible, enabling a developer to tailor one or more of its components to be application specific. For example, we extend Polygraph's validation component to validate range predicates and simple analytics, such as max and min. We demonstrate the use of Polygraph with a variety of benchmarks representing diverse applications including TPC-C, BG, YCSB, SEATS and TATP.

NL Seminar-Recent Advances and Challenges on Human-Computer Conversational Systems
Fri, Jun 22, 2018 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Rui Yan, Peking Univ
Talk Title: Recent Advances and Challenges on Human-Computer Conversational Systems
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: Automatic human-computer conversational systems have attracted great attention from both industry and academia. Intelligent products such as XiaoIce by Microsoft have been released, while tons of Artificial Intelligence companies have been established. We see that the technology behind the conversational systems is accumulating and now open to the public gradually. With the investigation of researchers, conversational systems are more than scientific fictions: they become real. I would review the recent development of human-computer conversational systems, especially the significant changes brought by deep learning techniques. In the meanwhile, I would share some work conducted by our group.
Biography: Dr. Rui Yan is an assistant professor at Peking University, an adjunct professor in Central China Normal University and Central University of Finance and Economics, and he was a Senior Researcher at Baidu Inc. He has investigated several open-domain conversational systems and dialog systems in vertical domains. Till now he has published more than 50 highly competitive peer reviewed papers. He serves as a senior program committee member of several top-tier venues such as KDD, SIGIR, ACL, WWW, IJCAI, AAAI, CIKM, EMNLP.
