  • Fairness-Aware learning over Graphs

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Tuesday, April 2nd, 12:00pm
    SPEAKER: Oyku Deniz Kose
    While graph-based ML models nicely integrate the nodal data with the connectivity, they also inherit potential unfairness. Using such ML models may therefore result in inevitable unfair results in various decision- and policy-making in the related applications. While fairness and explainability have attracted increasing attention in responsible ML, they are mostly under-explored in the graph domain.

  • Towards Self-Sustainable Wearable IoT Devices for Reliable Mobile Health Applications

    EH 2430 Engineering Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Thursday, April 25th, 10:00am
    SPEAKER: Prof. Ganapati Bhat, Washington State University
    Wearable internet of things (IoT) devices are the next big evolution in computing systems. Wearable sensors and IoT devices, along with smart home technologies, have the potential to transform healthcare by enabling cost-effective, reliable, continuous, and data-driven monitoring of users in a free-living environment. Despite the impressive potential of wearable technology, widespread adoption of wearable devices has been limited due to several technology and adaptation challenges.

  • Agile Hardware Specialization

    ISEB 4020 Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Wednesday, May 1st, 11:00am
    SPEAKER: Prof. Yun Eric Liang, Peking University
    As Moore’s law is approaching to the end, designing specialized hardware accelerator along with the software that map the applications onto the specialized hardware is a promising solution. However, the hardware is very difficult to design and optimize due to the low-level programming and huge design space.

  • Dissecting the Software Supply Chain of Modern Industrial Control Systems

    Zoom

    DATE/TIME: Thursday, May 23rd, 10:00am
    SPEAKER: Prof. Michail (Mihalis) Maniatakos, NYU Abu Dhabi
    In this seminar, we will shed light to the security landscape of modern ICS, dissecting firmware from the dominant vendors and motivating the need of employing appropriate vulnerability assessment tools.

  • Deep Latent Variable Modeling of Physiological Signals

    Zoom

    DATE/TIME: Friday, May 24th, 9:30 am
    SPEAKER: PhD Candidate Khuong An Vo
    A deep latent variable model is a powerful tool for modeling complex distributions. These models assume that underlying structures, but unobserved, are present within the data. In this dissertation, we explore high-dimensional problems related to physiological monitoring using latent variable models.
