DESCRIPTION:Abstract: With an overhead of less than a single simulation\, 
 adjoint sensitivity provides the gradient of any circuit voltage or curre
 nt or (error) function thereof with respect to every circuit parameter. I
 n the time domain it does so by running both time and space backwards the
 n convolving those results with the original to obtain the variations. In
  that sense it resembles a "transparent AI." The gradient elements\, whic
 h can be existing or even nonexistent parameters\, can be adjusted effici
 ently to approximate the statistical behavior of a circuit to provide yie
 ld analysis or fault insertion. The inter-reciprocity of the adjoint circ
 uit with the original can be exploited to determine specification planes 
 for design centering\, robustness and yield enhancement.\nBio: Ron Rohrer
  is Cecil & Ida Green Professor of ECE at Southern Methodist University a
 nd Emeritus Professor of ECE at Carnegie Mellon University.\nA noted inno
 vator\, entrepreneur and professor\, Ron is recognized as an early develo
 per of circuit simulation\, Integrated Circuit (IC) interconnect reductio
 n and delay calculation. He is credited with driving Electronic Design Au
 tomation (EDA) tools into broad industry use.  In 1968\, in a graduate co
 urse he taught at UC\, Berkeley\, he oversaw the production of an IC simu
 lation program similar to the FairCirc program he had developed earlier a
 t Fairchild Semiconductor\, a forerunner to SPICE. Based on earlier adjoi
 nt circuit simulation work\, in 1971\, Ron developed the foundation of wh
 at became the industry standard technique for simulation of analog and Ra
 dio Frequency (RF) IC noise.  In 1982\, while at General Electric (GE)\, 
 he launched the logic synthesis work that led to the Socrates logic synth
 esis tool\, and later to the formulation of Synopsys\, Inc.  As a profess
 or at Carnegie Mellon\, in 1988 he introduced Asymptotic Waveform Evaluat
 ion (AWE)\, which formed the basis for industry-wide interconnection redu
 ction techniques for efficient IC delay calculation. \nRon also held exec
 utive management positions in EDA at companies including Cadence\, Magma\
 , Scientific Calculations\, Calma\, and the GE Technical Systems Sector\,
  was a Venture Partner with Intersouth Partners\, and has served on board
 s and as technical advisor to twenty early-stage companies.\nThe founding
  editor of the IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated C
 ircuits and Systems\, Ron also served as president of the Circuits and Sy
 stems Society.

DESCRIPTION:We live in an age where enormous amount of data is being colle
 cted constantly because of smart phones\, ubiquitous presence of sensors 
 and the wide-spread use of social media. Useful and cost-effective analys
 is of this data is the biggest economic driver for the IT industry. Such 
 analyses are often done in data centers or on cluster of machines because
  they involve applying sophisticated algorithms to terabyte-size graphs\,
  which are extremely irregular and sparse. We will show how low-power app
 liances for such analyses can be built using flash storage and hardware a
 ccelerators. Such appliances are likely to be 10X cheaper than 16-32 node
  server clusters and will come in the form factor of an SSD to be plugged
  into your laptop. \nArvind is the Head of Computer Science Faculty and t
 he Charles and Jennifer Johnson Professor of Computer Science and Enginee
 ring at MIT. Arvind's group\, in collaboration with Motorola\, built the 
 Monsoon dataflow machines and its associated software in the late eightie
 s. In 2000\, Arvind started Sandburst which was sold to Broadcom in 2006.
  In 2003\, Arvind co-founded Bluespec Inc.\, an EDA company to produce a 
 set of tools for high-level synthesis. Arvind's current research focus is
  to enable rapid development of embedded systems and designing complex di
 gital chips with associated correctness proofs. Arvind is a Fellow of IEE
 E and ACM\, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the A
 merican Academy of Arts and Sciences.

DESCRIPTION:Deep learning has been the main driver behind the tremendous r
 ecent achievements in machine learning and AI. One of the seeming paradox
 es of deep learning is their uncanny ability to generalize to unseen data
 \, even though they have orders of magnitude more parameters than the tra
 ining data and can perfectly "interpolate" the training set. It is now be
 ing recognized that this generalization ability is due to the implicit re
 gularization that is inherent to the stochastic gradient descent (SGD) al
 gorithms that are used to the train them and which allows one to find "go
 od" interpolating solutions. In this talk\, we shall review these results
  and further introduce a family of algorithms called stochastic mirror de
 scent (SMD) which allows one to choose arbitrary (implicit and explicit) 
 convex regularizers. In particular\, we show that explicit regularization
  yields far superior generalization performance over SGD on noisy data se
 ts. We further show that\, with appropriate explicit regularizers\, it is
  possible to significantly prune networks\, or to quantize each parameter
  to a small number of bits\, without sacrificing appreciable performance.

DESCRIPTION::  Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced W
 ireless (AERPAW) is one of the four PAWR projects funded by the National 
 Science Foundation in the United States. AERPAW supports large-scale outd
 oor advanced wireless experiments with autonomous unmanned aerial and gro
 und vehicles (UAVs/UGVs) and it is remotely accessible by the nationwide 
 research community. Users of AERPAW have the opportunity to design and ra
 pidly prototype next-generation wireless technologies\, systems\, and app
 lications in both emulated and real-world environments. This talk will re
 view the overall scope\, and existing outdoor infrastructure including ei
 ght dedicated fixed nodes (towers\, rooftop nodes\, and a light pole) and
  their capabilities\, as well as future plans for the AERPAW project. We 
 will describe various different experiment examples involving software-de
 fined radios\, a commercial Ericsson 4G/5G network\, RF sensors from Keys
 ight\, and a smart agriculture system with various LoRa gateways and sens
 ors\, all of them interacting with autonomous UAVs and UGVs in a large-sc
 ale outdoor environment. We will overview our digital twin that allows AE
 RPAW users to exclusively design their outdoor experiments in a container
 ized virtual environment. We will also provide various research examples 
 carried out on the platform since AERPAW declared general availability in
  November 2021.

 91c-b06d0126a2c0\n\nTitle: Wireless Communications Channel Measurements a
 nd Models:  Promising opportunities for new applications at Terahertz Fre
 quencies\, and deep learning for physical layer wireless communication ne
 tworks and sensing"\n\nAbstract:  This talk discusses radio propagation c
 hannel characteristics and modeling approaches from below 6 GHz to the mi
 llimeter wave and THz spectrum bands\, with a focus on recent discoveries
  about the wireless channel above the millimeter wave spectrum. From rece
 nt knowledge of the channel\, new applications and AI/ML opportunities be
 come clear.  The talk highlights advances in modeling the spatial and tem
 poral nature of radio channels\, including the impact of antenna patterns
  and received signal envelopes of received signals\, thereby offering ins
 ights into phenomena that can be used in learning models for artificial i
 ntelligence (AI) to predict signal behavior in real-world channels. Speci
 al emphasis is given to the relatively new Two-Wave With Diffuse Power (T
 WDP) distribution that encompasses Raleigh and Rician fading as special c
 ases\, and repeatable measured phenomenon of diffraction effects when a r
 eceiver  encounters an object that physically begins to block a radio pat
 h. New approaches that learn the directions of arrivals and the extent of
  multipath from simple narrowband envelope measurements\, and how to opti
 mize and learn channel behaviors from ray tracing are also presented\, th
 us offering insights into promising ML/AI approaches to physical layer pr
 ediction and learning.

DESCRIPTION:Recent radical evolution in distributed sensing\, computation\
 , communication\, and actuation has fostered the emergence of cyber-physi
 cal network systems. Regardless of the specific application\, one central
  goal is to shape the network's collective behavior through the design of
  admissible local decision-making algorithms. This is nontrivial due to v
 arious challenges such as local connectivity\, system complexity and unce
 rtainty\, limited information structure\, and the complex intertwined phy
 sics and human interactions. \n In this talk\, I will present our recent 
 progress in formally advancing the systematic design of distributed coord
 ination in network systems via harnessing special properties of the under
 lying problems and systems. In particular\, we will present three example
 s and discuss three types of properties\, i) how to exploit network struc
 ture to ensure the performance of the local controllers\; ii) how to use 
 the information and communication to develop distributed learning rules\;
  iii) how to use domain-specific properties to further improve the effici
 ency of the distributed control and learning algorithms. We will also dis
 cuss challenges and issues arising from these solutions.

DESCRIPTION:Despite the strong capabilities of current surgical robots\, s
 uch as high precision and dexterity\, they are predominantly fully contro
 lled by surgeons during surgeries.  Toward the goal of elevating surgical
  robot autonomy\, the capability for real-time\, accurate 3D perception o
 f complex surgical environments\, and the ability to understand surgical 
 procedures are critical enabling technologies. In this talk\, I will disc
 uss a series of our works on developing robust perception frameworks that
  can perform reconstruction and deformation tracking of surgical scenes\,
  as well as track robot poses\, potentially allowing surgeons and robots 
 to better 'see' what's happening during surgery. I will also discuss how 
 we leverage these perception results to control robots for deformable obj
 ect manipulation.

DESCRIPTION:Robots must behave safely and reliably if we are to confidentl
 y deploy them in the real world around humans. To complete tasks\, robots
  must manage a complex\, interconnected autonomy stack of perception\, pl
 anning\, and control software. While machine learning has unlocked the po
 tential for full-stack end-to-end control in the real world\, these metho
 ds can be catastrophically unreliable. In contrast\, model-based safety-c
 ritical control provides rigorous guarantees\, but struggles to scale to 
 real systems\, where common assumptions\, e.g.\, perfect task specificati
 on and perception\, break down. \n \nHowever\, we need not choose between
  real-world utility and safety. By taking an end-to-end approach to safet
 y-critical control that builds and leverages knowledge of where learned c
 omponents can be trusted\, we can build practical yet rigorous algorithms
  that can make real robots more reliable. I will first discuss how to mak
 e task specification easier and safer by learning hard constraints from h
 uman task demonstrations\, and how we can plan safely with these learned 
 specifications despite uncertainty. Then\, given a task specification\, I
  will discuss how we can reliably leverage learned dynamics and perceptio
 n for planning and control by estimating where these learned models are a
 ccurate\, enabling probabilistic guarantees for end-to-end vision-based c
 ontrol. Finally\, I will provide perspectives on open challenges and futu
 re opportunities\, including robust perception-based hybrid control algor
 ithms for reliable data-driven robotic manipulation and human-robot colla
 boration.

DESCRIPTION:Preventing injury and restoring mobility following injury\, bo
 th musculoskeletal and neuromuscular\, is challenging. In recent years\, 
 the fields of biomechanics and clinical rehabilitation have informed the 
 development of wearable devices and assessment tools that aid in rehabili
 tation and in maintaining mobility. Wearable exosystems are assistive dev
 ices that can target weakness in a specific joint or muscle. However\, op
 timizing these devices for performance across individuals\, tasks\, and e
 nvironments\, and understanding their interaction with wearers across the
 se different scenarios remains an active area of research. In this talk\,
  I will discuss my work using exosystems\, along with principles from mot
 or learning and biomechanics\, to deliver targeted robotic resistance tra
 ining for gait recovery in people post-stroke. I will then discuss effort
 s to move these systems into the real-world through data-driven estimatio
 n of key biomechanical outcome measures. Finally\, I will conclude with h
 ow these data-driven methods translate to other populations in the commun
 ity to assess movement and prevent injury\, such as female athletes at-ri
 sk of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

DESCRIPTION:Efficient and resilient coordination among autonomous agents p
 lays an important role in various domains such as energy management\, rob
 otic swarms\, autonomous vehicles and beyond. As these systems grow in co
 mplexity and scale\, the challenge of achieving optimal coordination beco
 mes increasingly difficult. The first part of the talk will focus on tack
 ling scalability issues by leveraging network structure. I will discuss h
 ow leveraging spatially-exponential decaying (SED) structures in networke
 d systems enables scalable and near-optimal decentralized control. We wil
 l show that under certain mild assumption\, the optimal controller also d
 emonstrates a similar SED structure\, which leads to theoretical guarante
 es for efficient distributed strategies and offers practical insights for
  large-scale coordination. The second part of the talk will focus on effi
 cient Nash equilibrium seeking for multi-agent systems. The key element g
 uiding our approach is the concept of 'marginalized environment' which pr
 ovides more flexible algorithm design and tractable theoretical analysis.
  Building upon this notion\, we introduce a policy-gradient algorithm wit
 h provable sample complexity guarantees. Lastly I will briefly present ou
 r work on several applications such as green buildings and multi-robotics
  and outline a roadmap for future work including closing the loop between
  theory development and applications for AI-enabled multi-agent societal 
 systems.

DESCRIPTION:Pratt PhD students are invited to discover the calming of Neur
 ographic Art in a hands-on tutorial designed to quiet the mind and spark 
 creativity. Anna Batsakes  from DUKE LIVE FOR LIFE will teach simple tech
 niques that turn lines and shapes into a meditative\, expressive artwork\
 , no art experience needed.\nNeurographic Art is a mindful drawing practi
 ce using continuous lines\, shapes\, and color to help reduce stress\, an
 d encourage emotional balance. The process is intuitive and relaxing\, ma
 king it accessible to everyone.
