    Executive Education

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: IISE Faculty, IISE Faculty

    Talk Title: Six Sigma Green Belt for Process Improvement

    Abstract: USC Viterbi School of Engineering's Six Sigma Green Belt for Process Improvement, offered in partnership with the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, allows professionals to learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics, and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, statistics can be applied to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a USC Six Sigma Green Belt, you will be equipped to support and champion a Six Sigma implementation in your organization. To earn the USC Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will be required to pass the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineer's green belt exam (administered on the final day of the course).

    DEN@Viterbi, Viterbi School of Engineering Graduate Admission

    Workshops & Infosessions


    Join USC Viterbi for our upcoming Limited Status: How to Get Started Virtual Information Session via WebEx to learn about the Limited Status enrollment option. The Limited Status enrollment option allows individuals with an undergraduate degree in engineering or related field, with a 3.0 GPA or above to take courses before applying for formal admission into a Viterbi graduate degree program. USC Viterbi representatives will provide a step-by-step guide for how to get started as a Limited Status student and enroll in courses online via DEN@Viterbi as early as the Summer 2024 semester.

  • AI Seminar-On Robustness and Generative Modeling

    AI Seminar-On Robustness and Generative Modeling

    Fri, Jun 28, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Information Sciences Institute

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Iacopo Masi, Sapienza University of Rome

    Talk Title: On Robustness and Generative Modeling

    Abstract: The bloom of AI capabilities and their practical implication in our lives raised concerns regarding AI's robustness to an adversary. A way to improve the robustness of the prediction is adversarial training (AT), which trains the predictor on adversarial data. Although AT is mainly associated with discriminative models, in this talk, I will show how we can shed light on some mysterious behaviors using generative modeling. By reinterpreting a robust discriminative classifier as an Energy-based Model (EBM), we offer a new take on the dynamics of adversarial training. On the ground of our thorough analysis, we present new theoretical and practical results that show how interpreting AT energy dynamics unlocks a better understanding of (i) robust overfitting, (ii) distinct features of different AT methods, such as SAT and TRADES (iii) their generative capabilities; also offering a simple process to lift these capabilities without training for generative modeling. In the last part of the talk, I will discuss how we can use off-the-shelf robust classifiers to help generative modeling by inverting them.    REMINDER: If you do not have access to the 11th Floor, please check in at the main reception desk on 10th floor and someone will escort you to the conference room location prior to the start of the talk.

Until August 2022, he held the position of Adjunct Research Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California (USC). Previously, Dr. Masi was a Research Assistant Professor and Research Computer Scientist at the USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI). He has served as an Area Chair for several computer vision conferences (WACVs, ICCV'21, ECCV'22, CVPR'24) and is an Associate Editor for The Visual Computer - International Journal of Computer Graphics. Additionally, he organized an International Workshop on Human Identification at ICCV'17, co-organized the Unlearning and Model Editing (U&Me) workshop at ECCV'24, and is a general chair for ICIAP'25. In 2018, Dr. Masi was honored with the prestigious Rita Levi Montalcini Award by the Italian government. His primary research interests revolve around the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and biometrics. Currently, he is exploring various interconnected lines of research, including adversarial robustness, proactive defense against image manipulation, inverse problems, and generative AI in both the vision and NLP domains.
