  • Photonics Seminar - Aydogan Ozcan, Tuesday, November 1 at 1:30pm in EEB 248

    Tue, Nov 01, 2022 @ 01:30 PM - 03:00 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Aydogan Ozcan, UCLA

    Talk Title: Diffractive Optical Networks & Computational Imaging Without a Computer

    Series: Photonics Seminar Series

    Abstract: I will discuss diffractive optical networks designed by deep learning to all-optically implement various complex functions as the input light diffracts through spatially-engineered surfaces. These diffractive processors designed by deep learning have various applications, e.g., all-optical image analysis, feature detection, object classification, computational imaging and seeing through diffusers, also enabling task-specific camera designs and new optical components for spatial, spectral and temporal beam shaping and spatially-controlled wavelength division multiplexing. These deep learning-designed diffractive systems can broadly impact (1) all-optical statistical inference engines, (2) computational camera and microscope designs and (3) inverse design of optical systems that are task-specific. In this talk, I will give examples of each group, enabling transformative capabilities for various applications of interest in e.g., autonomous systems, defense/security, telecommunications as well as biomedical imaging and sensing.

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Dr. Sunil Kumar Vuppala, Director, Data Science, Ericsson

    Talk Title: Causal Dependencies in Multivariate Time Series

    Abstract: The talk starts with a motivation for casual analysis. Correlation does not imply causation. Similarly, lack of correlation does not imply lack of causation. How can we detect causality in complex systems such as telecom networks? The talk covers 3Wh of Causality (What, why, where). It covers taxonomy of time series casual discovery, an overview of the methods and techniques such as Granger causality, Convergent Cross Mapping, information theoretic approaches, graphical approaches and ML approaches. How can we connect any observed event to possibly a set of specific causal events? Why do we need counterfactual interventions for causal intensity? The talk describes the relevance of causality in telecom domain and cover a few use cases in telecom such as Key Performance Indicator (KPI) degradation and outlier root cause analysis and hardware failures. The speaker will share sample results from simulated experiments. He will introduce a few active research topics in this space.

    Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Marco Panesi, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

    Talk Title: Construction of Hydrodynamic Models for Nonequilibrium Flows: Application to Hypersonics

    Abstract: The simulation of the aerothermal environment surrounding vehicles moving at hypersonic speed is a complex problem due to its multi-physics and multi-scale nature. Progress in accurately modeling these systems has been hindered by the lack of reliable physical models for the thermochemical and transport processes that dominate the dynamics of the flow. The most physically consistent description of nonequilibrium flows relies on the direct numerical solution of the kinetic equations for each internal state of the gas particles. However, for problems of interest, the exponentially large many degrees of freedom, and the wide range of spatial and temporal scales involved, make these equations unsolvable.

    This talk outlines a new paradigm for constructing predictive modeling and simulation tools from a fundamental physics perspective, rejecting the empiricism that has prevented progress in modeling hypersonic flows for decades. Inspired by model reduction strategies developed in statistical physics, this work addresses the challenges of the combinatorial explosion of the possible configurations of the system,obtaining new governing equations by projecting the master equation onto a few lower-dimensional subspaces. The distribution function within each subspace is then reconstructed using the Maximum Entropy Principle, thus ensuring compliance with the Detailed Balance.

    I will cover the critical aspects involved in model development: (1) using direct numerical simulationto study the fundamental physics; (2) derivation of a reduced-order set of equations that give an accurateand physical consistent description of the physics at a much-reduced computational cost: (3) Validationand uncertainty quantification.

    Biography: Dr. Marco Panesi is currently a Professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department and director of the Center for Hypersonics and Entry System Studies (CHESS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 2009, he received a Ph.D. degree from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. He completed a post-doc with the PECOS center, one of the five DOE-funded PSAAP centers, at Odens Institute. Prof. Panesi joined the faculty in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an assistant professor in August 2012.

    Prof. Panesi has won several awards, including the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship (VBFF), the Young Investigator Program (YIP) award from AFOSR, and the Early Career Faculty award from NASA. He has won the Best Paper/Presentation Awards at AIAA conferences several times. In 2015, he received the Award on Physical Modelling at the Symposium on Aerothermodynamics for Space Vehicles (ESA) for his contribution to the fundamentals of Aerothermodynamics.

    Thu, Nov 03, 2022 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

    Information Sciences Institute

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Jonas Pfeiffer, Google

    Talk Title: Modular and Composable Transfer Learning

    Series: NL Seminar

    Abstract: REMINDER
    Meeting hosts only admit guests that they know to the Zoom meeting. Hence, you are highly encouraged to use your USC account to sign into Zoom.

    If you are an outside visitor, please inform us at nlg DASH seminar DASH host AT isi DOT edu beforehand so we will be aware of your attendance and let you in.

    In person attendance will be permitted for USC ISI faculty, staff, students only. Open to the public virtually via the zoom link and online.

    With pre-trained transformer-based models continuously increasing in size, there is a dire need for parameter-efficient and modular transfer learning strategies. In this talk, we will touch base on adapter-based fine-tuning, where instead of fine-tuning all weights of a model, small neural network components are introduced at every layer. While the pre-trained parameters are frozen, only the newly introduced adapter weights are fine-tuned, achieving an encapsulation of the down-stream task information in designated parts of the model. We will demonstrate that adapters are modular components which can be composed for improvements on a target task and how they can be used for out of distribution generalization on the example of zero shot cross-lingual transfer. Finally, we will discuss how adding modularity during pre training can mitigate catastrophic interference and consequently lift the curse of multilinguality.


    Biography: Jonas Pfeiffer is a Research Scientist at Google Research. He is interested in modular representation learning in multi task, multilingual, and multi-modal contexts, and in low resource scenarios. He worked on his PhD at the Technical University of Darmstadt, was a visiting researcher at the New York University and a Research Scientist Intern at Meta Research. Jonas has received the IBM PhD Research Fellowship award for 2021/2022. He has given numerous invited talks at academia, industry and ML summer schools, and has co-organized multiple workshops on multilinguality and multimodality

  • MHI ISSS Seminar - Dr. Omeed Momeni, Friday, Nov. 4th at 2pm in EEB 132

    Speaker: Omeed Momeni, University of California

    Talk Title: Scalable Standing Wave Integrated Circuits for Reconfigurable Power Generation, Radiation and Beam Steering at mm-Wave and Terahertz Spectrum

    Series: Integrated Systems

    Abstract: The power generation of transistors declines as the operation frequency increases. At the same time, the
    free space propagation loss increases, demanding more radiated power from the system. The loss of passive
    elements in the circuit increases as well, making functions such as oscillation or radiation even more challenging. In
    order to boost the limited power, multiple sources need to be coupled together in an array structure. However, the
    significant loss of the coupling circuitry and phase shifters at mm-wave and terahertz frequencies hinders the
    implementation of large and efficient radiator and phased arrays. Scalable standing wave array structures are
    proposed based on efficient low loss coupling schemes in order to boost the power and operation bandwidth.
    Furthermore, a practical approach is proposed to maximize Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the
    source by optimizing influential parameters of the radiation apparatus. Finally, we demonstrate a new phase shifting
    method based on combining standing and traveling waves and show how it can achieve significantly higher
    reconfigurability, phase shifting range and bandwidth. Using all these methods we present coupled-oscillators,
    scalable radiator arrays, and reconfigurable phased arrays that can produce high resolution images and achieve
    record beam steering range, tuning range, and output power at mm-wave and terahertz frequencies.
