  • A Code Generation Framework To Replicate Software Design Concepts

    A Code Generation Framework To Replicate Software Design Concepts

    Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Prof. George Heineman, Associate Professor, Computer Science - Worcester Polytechnic Institute

    Talk Title: A Code Generation Framework To Replicate Software Design Concepts

    Abstract: In 1998, Philip Wadler used the term Expression Problem (EP) to describe a common situation that occurs when devising software that must evolve, specifically with regard to the structure of the data types and the operations over these data types. Over time, software engineers extend systems by adding new data types and/or new operations, and the goal is to avoid changing existing code as part of the extension. Dozens of researchers have investigated approaches to EP using a variety of programming languages. The papers from the research literature often contain only small code fragments and the lack of a common benchmark makes it difficult to compare different approaches with each other. We designed EpCoGen, a code generation framework, to replicate the results of numerous papers using a rich benchmark domain of mathematical expressions. While it was not our intention, in completing this project, we devised a novel CoCo approach to EP based on Covariant Conversions. This result would not have been possible without the meticulous effort in both developing a comprehensive benchmark and trying to replicate existing results from the literature. We generate fully coded solutions in Java, Scala and Haskell, with accompanying test cases, for nine different approaches to EP using a language-independent code generation framework (CoGen) that can be expanded to include additional languages and approaches.                
     
    This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.            
     
     

    Biography: George Heineman is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at WPI in Worcester, Massachusetts. His research interests include component-based software engineering, modularity, code generation, and algorithms. He is the author of Algorithms in a Nutshell (2ed, O’Reilly Media, 2016), Learning Algorithms (O’Reilly Media, 2021), and an online training video course, Coding Interview Preparation: Learn to Solve Algorithms Problem to Land Your Next Software Role (O’Reilly Media, 2024). George is also an avid puzzler with a lifelong interest in logical and mathematical puzzles. He is the inventor of Sujiken® puzzles (a variation of Sudoku), Trexiken puzzles (a variation of Ken-Ken®) and the online https://wordygame.net, if you are ready to try a more challenging word puzzle than Wordle.

  • CSC/CommNetS-MHI Seminar: Lauren Conger

    Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Lauren Conger, PhD Candidate, Control and Dynamical Systems, Caltech

    Talk Title: Wasserstein Gradient Flows for Modeling Strategic Distribution Shift

    Series: CSC/CommNetS-MHI Seminar Series

    Abstract: We propose a novel framework for analyzing the dynamics of distribution shift in real-world systems that captures the feedback loop between learning algorithms and the distributions on which they are deployed. We propose a coupled partial differential equation model that captures fine-grained changes in the distribution over time by accounting for complex dynamics that arise due to strategic responses to algorithmic decision-making, non-local endogenous population interactions, and other exogenous sources of distribution shift. We prove convergence results in 3 settings for min-max optimization problems over measures, as well as in a cooperative setting, addressing a recent open problem posed in (Wang and Chizat 2024, Convergence of single-timescale mean-field Langevin descent-ascent for two-player zero-sum games).

    Biography: Lauren Conger is a PhD candidate in Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech, advised by Franca Hoffmann, Eric Mazumdar, and John Doyle. Her research is at the intersection of partial differential equations (PDE) analysis, game theory, and control theory. She studies systems of gradient flow PDEs through the lens of game theory with applications in machine learning, and works on system level synthesis, a new control parameterization, in a variety of contexts, including distributed optimization and PDE control.

  • Computational Science Distinguished Seminar Series

    Mon, Sep 30, 2024 @ 03:45 PM - 05:00 PM

    USC School of Advanced Computing

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Youssef Marzouk, MIT

    Talk Title: Transport methods for Bayesian inference and optimal experimental design

    Abstract: Measure transport has emerged as a versatile tool in probabilistic modeling and inference, offering a unifying perspective on various computational challenges. This talk explores the core principles of transport maps and their ability to induce couplings between probability measures, facilitating efficient simulation and analysis. We will survey the diverse landscape of transport representations, from polynomials and invertible neural networks to ODE flow maps, highlighting how these constructions capture different notions of low-dimensional structure in probabilistic models.
    The presentation will then focus on recent advancements in two key areas:
    1. Nonlinear ensemble filtering: This talk explores novel transport-based algorithms that generalize the ensemble Kalman filter to nonlinear settings, offering improved performance in challenging filtering problems.
    2. Simulation-based inference: We will investigate how transport maps can be leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of inference in scenarios where only forward simulations are available.
    Additionally, this talk explores the application of transport-based density estimates in bounding information-theoretic objectives for optimal experimental design, demonstrating the broad utility of this framework in decision-making under uncertainty.

    Biography: Youssef Marzouk is the Breene M. Kerr (1951) Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and co-director of the Center for Computational Science and Engineering within the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. He is also a core member of MIT's Statistics and Data Science Center and a PI in the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS).
    His research interests lie at the intersection of statistical inference, computational mathematics, and physical modeling. He develops new methodologies for uncertainty quantification, Bayesian computation, and machine learning in complex physical systems, motivated by a broad range of engineering and science applications. His recent work has centered on algorithms for inference, with applications to data assimilation and inverse problems; dimension reduction methodologies for high-dimensional learning and surrogate modeling; optimal experimental design; and transportation of measure as a tool for inference and stochastic modeling.
    He received his SB, SM, and PhD degrees from MIT and spent four years at Sandia National Laboratories before joining the MIT faculty in 2009. He is also an avid coffee drinker and an occasional classical pianist.

  • ECE Seminar: Unlocking the Future: Designing Next-Generation AI Chips with AI Algorithms

    ECE Seminar: Unlocking the Future: Designing Next-Generation AI Chips with AI Algorithms

    Tue, Oct 01, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Dr. Sung Kyu Lim, Motorola Solutions Foundation Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology

    Talk Title: Unlocking the Future: Designing Next-Generation AI Chips with AI Algorithms

    Abstract: Data, chips, and algorithms form the backbone of the AI revolution, demanding hardware as sophisticated as orchestrating a bustling city. In this technological realm, GPUs and high-bandwidth memory are essential yet frequently strained by the immense volume of data traffic. By employing 2.5D and 3D IC architectures through heterogeneous integration, we can greatly enhance energy efficiency and reduce latency in data transfers. A key component of this advancement is the automation of design and simulation for heterogeneous AI chips, where powerful algorithms take the lead, rather than humans. This remarkable capability hinges on advanced electronic design automation (EDA) tools. At Georgia Tech, my research team merges AI-driven and traditional algorithms to bolster EDA capabilities, specifically engineered for developing cutting-edge heterogeneous AI chips. In my talk, I will spotlight these innovations and address the ongoing challenges in AI chip design and EDA.

    Biography: Prof. Sung Kyu Lim earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA in 2000. Since 2001, he has been a faculty member at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research explores the architecture, design, and electronic design automation (EDA) of 2.5D and 3D integrated circuits, contributing to over 400 published papers. He received the Best Paper Awards from the IEEE Transactions on CAD in 2022 and the ACM Design Automation Conference in 2023. He is an IEEE Fellow and served as a program manager at DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office from 2022 to 2024.

    Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Dr. Ji-Xin Cheng, Ph.D., Moustakas Chair Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics; Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Professor of Electrical & Computer EnProfessor of Chemistry & Professor of Physics Boston University

    Talk Title: Seeing the unseen using molecular fingerprints

    Abstract: Spectrochemical imaging, using intrinsic fingerprint spectroscopic signals from molecules as a contrast mechanism, opens a new window for understanding life at the molecular level and also enables molecule-based precision diagnosis of diseases. Yet, the intrinsic spectroscopic signal, especially the vibrational signals from chemical bonds, is weaker than the fluorescence signal from a dye by many orders of magnitude. Detecting such weak signal from a tight focus (i.e., a small volume of ~1 femtoliter) under a microscope is extremely challenging and was considered nearly impossible. Ji-Xin Cheng devoted his career to overcoming such daunting barrier through developing advanced chemical microscopes over the past 25 years. In this lecture, Cheng will tell his journey of serendipity-driven innovation, scientific discovery, clinical translation, and entrepreneurship in the growing field of chemical imaging.

    Biography: Ji-Xin Cheng attended University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from 1989 to 1994. From 1994 to 1998, he carried out his PhD study on bond-selective chemistry at USTC. As a graduate student, he worked as a research assistant at Universite Paris-sud (France) on vibrational spectroscopy and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on quantum dynamics theory. After postdoctoral training on ultrafast spectroscopy at HKUST, he joined Sunney Xie’s group at Harvard University as a postdoc, where he spearheaded the development of CARS microscopy that allows high-speed vibrational imaging. Cheng joined Purdue University in 2003 as Assistant Professor in Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Chemistry, promoted to Associate Professor in 2009 and Full Professor in 2013. He joined Boston University as the Inaugural Theodore Moustakas Chair Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics in summer 2017.
     Among his honors, Cheng is the recipient of the 2024 Raman Innovation Award at the International Conference of Raman Spectroscopy (ICORS, Rome), the 2024 Analytical Chemistry Spectrochemical Analysis Award from American Chemical Society, the 2024 Charles Delisi Award from Boston University College of Engineering, the 2024 Biophotonics Technology Innovator Award from International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE), the 2022 Boston University Innovator of Year, the 2020 Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award from the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh, the 2019 Ellis R.

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Dr. Angel Hwang (she/her), Assistant Professor, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism

    Talk Title: When does human-centered AI (fail to) scale?

    Abstract: State-of-the-art AI systems are built and deployed at the societal scale, increasing the need to consider sociotechnical factors for implementing systems of such magnitude. In contrast, individual user experience has long been the core of designing and developing user-friendly technologies. Through a series of experiments and case studies, I examine challenges and breakdowns as one extends individual-centered approaches to design societal-scale AI systems.  
     
     
    This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.

    Speaker: Andres Jared Goza, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

    Talk Title: Lighting the fuse to enable metamaterials for passive, adaptive flow control

    Abstract: Unsteady flow control is challenging in many engineering domains. Active techniques are costly, energy-intensive, and heavy, while passive approaches often lack robustness in handling complex flow dynamics. Metamaterials are structures with engineered architecture, allowing for catered response behaviors to stimuli. These structures offer a transformative potential for flow control by flow-metamaterial interaction, FMI. FMI could allow engineers to leverage architected structures to passively and adaptively produce desired flow responses. 
     
    To capitalize on this potential, however, we must first identify which classes of metamaterials are most promising for different flow scenarios, and understand how to align the key metamaterial behaviors with the relevant flow length- and timescales to enable favorable flow-structure interplay.  This understanding must account for the behavior of the fully coupled flow-metamaterial system, which will generally yield dynamics with distinct time/length scales from those of the constituent flow/structure systems. Obtaining this understanding requires a suite of computational tools capable of predicting and understanding the flow-structure interplay between the targeted complex flows and modern architected structures.

     
    We present some a-la-carte results on these various challenges and opportunities. We discuss some key metamaterial classes promising for certain flow behaviors. We share some ongoing development of high-fidelity and resolvent computational tools within an immersed boundary framework, currently without flow-structure interplay but being designed to enable robust, versatile computations between flows and a wide range of metamaterials. Finally, for simplified flow-metamaterial configurations, we discuss efforts to synthesize appropriate dimensionless parameters, expressed in terms of key intrinsic properties of the separate flow/structure systems, that govern the FMI system's behavior.  

     
     
    *Andres is grateful for funding from AFOSR to perform the presented work.
     

    Biography:  Andres is an Assistant Professor at UIUC. He uses computational techniques to study flow-structure interaction, particularly when the structure has some heterogeneous properties that make the coupled behavior more complex. He is interested in developing high-fidelity and analysis techniques to simulate and understand these dynamics. He also has two young children that bring fun regular surprises, and enjoys running, cycling, squash, and bouldering.

    Speaker: Sanjay Kumar, M.D, Ph.D., Chancellor Professor and Director of the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at UC Berkeley (QB3-Berkeley

    Talk Title: Tales from the fourth dimension: Incorporating the element of time into biomaterial paradigms

    Abstract: It is increasingly accepted that cell and extracellular matrix structure and mechanics can drive biology and disease, influencing everything from metabolism to stem cell differentiation to tumor progression.   While  significant progress has been made in developing culture technologies that mimic the complex physical microenvironment of tissue, many of these platforms are comparatively static in nature.   There remains a need to understand how cell-matrix dynamics influence cell behavior.  For example, how do cells remodel the carefully constructed matrices in which we place them, and how does this remodeling drive the biology we observe?  And how does the time-dependent dissipation of cell-imposed stresses influence force-based signaling?  While the answers are far from clear, I will describe efforts our team has made to attack these challenging problems, ranging from the use of proteomics to characterize the matrisome of invasive tumor cells ensconced within 3D matrices to to development and application of viscoelastic matrices to probe effects of stress relaxation on stem cell lineage commitment.    

    Biography: Sanjay Kumar, M.D., Ph.D., is Chancellor Professor and Director of the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at UC Berkeley (QB3-Berkeley).  His primary appointment is in the Department of Bioengineering (which he chaired from 2019-22), with joint appointments in the UC Berkeley Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, the UCSF Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.  Dr. Kumar earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota (1996) and his M.D. and Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics from Johns Hopkins University (2003).  He then completed postdoctoral training at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.   Dr. Kumar has co-authored >100 peer-reviewed publications and mentored >30 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.  He and his group have been recognized with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), The NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, The Beckman Young Investigator Award, the NSF CAREER Award, and the Stem Cells Young Investigator Award. Dr. Kumar is an elected fellow of AAAS, AIMBE, and BMES, and he is a member of the BMES Board of Directors.
