Abstract: There has been a lot of exciting recent progress on new and powerful machine learning algorithms and architectures: how to learn. But for autonomous…
Abstract: Quantum computing is error-prone and needs error correction. Near-term quantum computing of today does not have enough qubits for incorporating quantum error correction. In…
Abstract: Complex organisms function through many types of interactions. Thanks to advancements of experimental technologies and accumulation of resulting data, it is now possible to…
Abstract: A natural intuition in AI is that smart agents should tackle hard problems by building on solutions to easier ones. This idea has inspired…
Abstract: In a digraph, a dicut is a cut where all the arcs cross in one direction. A dijoin is a subset of arcs that…
Abstract: In his talk, Prof. Sharan will discuss how algorithmic tools and understanding borrowed from optimization theory, Fourier transforms, and Boolean function analysis can help…
Abstract: The Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure is widely used to control the false detection rate (FDR) in multiple testing. Applications of this control abound in drug…
Abstract: Learning-augmented algorithms aim to combine predictive advice with worst-case guarantees: they achieve near-optimal performance when predictions are accurate, while remaining robust when predictions are…
Abstract: In her talk, Prof. Brunswicker will depart from her work on LLM-enabled end-to-end UAV operations to envision a future in which multi-drone robotic systems…
Abstract: This talk presents a mentorship model for undergraduate research developed within the Embedded Ethics Lab at UCSB. The model rethinks the traditional role of…
Abstract: For decades, computer scientists have sought to create autonomic computing systems that can configure themselves, fix their own bugs, and stay focused on specific…
Distinguished Lecture Abstract: Silicon is the foundation of modern computing systems: its compromise endangers all higher system layers and, potentially, critical infrastructures. Past years have…
