    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Terence Sanger, University of Southern California

    Talk Title: Rate coding, spike coding, and biological control

    Series: Fall 2017 Joint CSC@USC/CommNetS-MHI Seminar Series

    Abstract: Although biological and artificial computation must solve similar problems, they do so in very different ways. I will discuss several closely related topics in biological control systems. Risk-aware control is a set of human behaviors in asymmetric cost environments that set the groundwork and requirements for models of biological feedback control. Stochastic Dynamic Operators provide a set of tools for control of uncertain stochastic systems, and I show that these operators can implement risk aware control in a simple robotic visual targeting task. I also show how the calculations necessary for control and stabilization can be implemented in populations of asynchronous spiking neurons. Finally, I provide preliminary data from electrophysiological recordings in the brains of children with movement disorders that provide some clues as to how the human basal ganglia encode movement.

    Biography: Dr. Terence Sanger is the director of the USC Pediatric Movement Disorders Center. His research focuses on understanding the origins of pediatric movement disorders from both a biological and a computational perspective. The primary goal of his research is to discover new methods for treating children with movement disorders. Dr. Sanger coordinates the Childhood Motor Study Group (CMSG) and the NIH Taskforce on Childhood Movement Disorders, and he is principal investigator on several research studies at USC. He runs the pediatric movement disorders clinic at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) in the department of Neurology. His training includes background in Child Neurology, Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Control Theory, Neural Networks, and Computational Neuroscience.

  • Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering Seminar

    Wed, Aug 30, 2017 @ 03:30 AM - 04:30 PM

    Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Michele Guala, Associate Professor/Unniversity of Minnesota

    Talk Title: Wall Turbulence Structure in the Atmospheric Surface Layer. Scaling and Implications on Wind Turbine Siting

    Abstract: The atmospheric surface layer, under special geophysical conditions, has been used as a canonical representation of wall turbulence flows at high Reynolds numbers. In this presentation I will describe how hotwire field measurements in the SLTEST (Utah) and Super-large-scale particle image velocimetry (SPIV, Hong et al., 2014, Toloui et al. 2014) during natural snowfalls in Minnesota, gave us the opportunity to explore atmospheric flows with unprecedentedly high spatio-temporal resolution. Results from SPIV measurements in the thermally neutral atmospheric surface layer, collected at the EOLOS field station over relatively flat, snow-covered farmland, will be introduced as a fully rough wall boundary layer with a Reynolds number Re ~10^6. The data include three time-resolved 15-minute acquisition periods with a field of view extending from 3 m to 19 m above the ground and up to 14 m wide. The flow statistics are validated and supplemented by sonic anemometers from a meteorological tower immediately downstream of the SPIV field of view. The time-resolved planar measurements provide temporal and spatial characterization of key wall turbulence features at high Reynolds number, including ramp-like structures, spanwise vortices, and uniform momentum zones. In comparing the findings to laboratory studies, Reynolds number similarity and the scaling behavior of characteristic properties will be discussed. The limitations of SPIV measurements will be presented using concepts of particle-turbulence interaction and further observations of snow flake dynamics. The impact of large scale flow measurements and turbulent motions will be discussed in the context of wind energy.

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Rakesh Kumar, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign

    Talk Title: Ultra Low Power Computing in the IoT Era

    Series: EE 598 Computer Engineering Seminar Series

    Abstract: Wearables, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) arguably represent the next frontier of computing. They will be characterized by extremely low power and area requirements. In our recent research, we asked the question: are there opportunities for power and area reduction that are unique to these emerging computing platforms. We answered the question in the affirmative and developed several techniques that appear to be very effective. In this talk, I will focus one such technique--symbolic hardware-software co-analysis--that is applicable over a wide class of applications. Through a novel symbolic execution-based approach, we can determine for a given application the gates in the hardware that the application is guaranteed to not touch. This information can then be used to determine application-specific Vmin, determine application-specific peak power, and, build bespoke processors customized to a given application. If time permits, I will also discuss how architectural ideas such bit serial processors and k-hot pipelining may become promising for the IoT applications.

    Biography: Rakesh Kumar is an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and a Co-Founder and Chief Architect at Hyperion Core, Inc. He has made contributions in the area of processor design and memory system design that have directly impacted industry and state-of-art. His current research interests are in computer architecture, low power and error resilient computer systems, and approximate computing. He has a B-Tech from IIT Kharagpur and a PhD from University of California at San Diego. He is often seen at a restaurant or hanging out with his very active four-year old.

  • THURSDAY TALKS: NL Seminars-1 Recurrent Neural Networks as Weighted Language Recognizers 2 Gloss-to-English: Improving Low Resource Language Translation Using Alignment Tables

    Thu, Aug 31, 2017 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM

    Information Sciences Institute

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Yining Chen and Sasha Mayn , USC/ISI Interns

    Talk Title: THURSDAY TALKS: 1 Recurrent Neural Networks as Weighted Language Recognizers 2 Gloss-to-English: Improving Low Resource Language Translation Using Alignment Tables

    Series: Natural Language Seminar

    Abstract: 1. We investigate properties of a simple recurrent neural network RNN as a formal device for recognizing weighted languages. We focus on the single layer, ReLU activation, rational weight RNN with softmax, a standard form of RNN used in language processing applications. We prove that many questions one may ask about such RNNs are undecidable, including consistency, equivalence, minimization, and finding the highest weighted string. For consistent RNNs, finding the highest weighted string is decidable, although the solution can be exponentially long in the length of the input RNN encoded in binary. Limiting to solutions of polynomial length, we prove that finding the highest-weighted string for a consistent RNN is NP complete and APX hard.

    2. Neural Machine Translation has gained popularity in recent years and has been able to achieve impressive results. The only caveat is that millions of parallel sentences are needed in order to train the system properly, and in a low resource scenario that amount of data simply may not be available. This talk will discuss strategies for addressing the data scarcity problem, particularly using alignment tables to make use of parallel data from higher resource language pairs and creating synthetic in domain data.


    Biography: Yining Chen is a third year undergraduate student at Dartmouth College. She is a summer intern at ISI working with Professor Kevin Knight and Professor Jonathan May.

    Sasha Mayn is a summer intern for the ISI Natural Language Group. She is particularly interested in machine translation and language generation. Last summer Sasha interned at the PanLex Project in Berkeley, where she was responsible for preprocessing digital dictionaries and entering them into PanLex's multilingual database. This summer she has been working on improving neural machine translation strategies for low resource languages under the supervision of Jon May and Kevin Knight.

  • PhD Defense: Sampling Theory for Graph Signals with Applications to Semi-supervised Learning

    Thu, Aug 31, 2017 @ 03:30 PM - 05:30 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Aamir Anis, USC

    Talk Title: PhD Defense: Sampling Theory for Graph Signals with Applications to Semi-supervised Learning

    Abstract: The representation, processing and analysis of large-scale data as signals defined over graphs has drawn much interest recently. Graphs allow us to embed natural inter-connectivities between data points and exploit them during processing. As a result, graph signal processing has laid a strong foothold in various modern application domains such as machine learning, analysis of social, transportation, web and sensor networks, and even traditional areas such as image processing and video compression. Although powerful, this research area is still in its infancy. Recent efforts have therefore focused on translating well-developed tools of traditional signal processing for handling graph signals.

    An important aspect of graph signal processing is defining a notion of frequency for graph signals. A frequency domain representation for graph signals can be defined using the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of variation operators (e.g., graph Laplacian) that take into account the underlying graph connectivity. These operators can also be used to design graph spectral filters. The primary focus of our work is to develop a theory of sampling for graph signals that answers the following questions: 1. When can one recover a graph signal from its samples on a given subset of nodes of the graph? 2. What is the best choice of nodes to sample a given graph signal? Our formulation primarily works under the assumption of bandlimitedness in the graph Fourier domain, which amounts to smoothness of the signal over the graph. The techniques we employ to answer these questions are based on the introduction of special quantities called graph spectral proxies that allow our algorithms to operate in the vertex domain, thereby admitting efficient, localized implementations.

    We also explore the sampling problem in the context of designing wavelet filterbanks on graphs. This problem is fundamentally different since one needs to choose a sampling scheme jointly over multiple channels of the filterbank. We explore constraints for designing perfect reconstruction two-channel critically-sampled filterbanks with low-degree polynomial filters, and conclude that such a design is in general not possible for arbitrary graphs. This leads us to propose an efficient technique for designing a critical sampling scheme that, given pre-designed filters, aims to minimize the overall reconstruction error of the filterbank. We also explore M-channel filterbanks over M-block cyclic graphs (that are natural extensions of bipartite graphs), and propose a tree-structured design in a simpler setting when M is a power of 2.

    As an application, we study the graph-based semi-supervised learning problem from a sampling theory point of view. A crucial assumption here is that class labels form a smooth graph signal over a similarity graph constructed from the feature vectors. Our analysis justifies this premise by showing that in the asymptotic limit, the bandwidth (a measure of smoothness) of any class indicator signal is closely related to the geometry of the dataset. Using the sampling theory perspective, we also quantitatively show that the label complexity (i.e., the amount of labeling required for perfect prediction of unknown labels) matches its theoretical value, thereby adding to the appeal of graph-based techniques for semi-supervised learning.

    Biography: Aamir Anis received his Bachelor and Master of Technology degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India, in 2012. He joined the Electrical Engineering department at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, in 2012, where he has been working towards a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering. He has been the recipient of the Best Student Paper award at ICASSP 2014. His research interests include graph signal processing with applications in machine learning, and multimedia compression.
