Ub Cse L Celebrations, The Graduate Interrogation Conference
Over the finally twosome of days, nosotros celebrated the 50th anniversary of our department, CSE at University at Buffalo. We celebrated the anniversary alongside a technical conference in addition to panels, thus it was an chance to larn novel things for everyone. With the attendance of many prominent UB-CSE alumni, it has been a actually amazing 2.5 days. Here is a link to the CSE l conference program.
On Th evening, the lawsuit was kicked off alongside a reception in addition to an undergraduate poster session. The thing that surprised me inwards this poster session was how speedily the PM2.5 sensors miniaturized. PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate affair (PM) that bring a diameter less than 2.5 micrometers, which is most 3% the diameter of a human hair. PM2.5 is a traffic-related pollutant implicated inwards a broad diversity of adverse wellness outcomes. I was involved inwards a NIH/NIEHS projection for using smartphone-based time-activity information for air pollutant exposure estimation from 2010-12. At that fourth dimension PM2.5 sensors were mini-fridge sized in addition to expensive to purchase in addition to deploy. On the poster demo, my jaw hitting the flooring when I saw the novel generation of PM2.5 sensors that are palm-sized in addition to are connected to Arduino boards.
The Fri conference consisted of iii keynote presentations in addition to iv sessions. The sessions were a mix of invited alumni talks in addition to our ain graduate students unpublished master copy newspaper presentations.
I was the programme chair for the Fri conference, in addition to was responsible for selecting the graduate papers. I used EasyChair to collect the newspaper submissions in addition to review them. We formed a technical programme commission of 22 alumni/faculty. Out of 21 newspaper submissions, nosotros selected eight for the Fri program. While all the submissions were high quality, nosotros had to hold upwards selective to plough over off to the fourth dimension constraints. We besides processed l poster submissions, in addition to chose 29 papers amidst them for the graduate poster presentation on Saturday.
Here are my notes from roughly of the talks on Friday.
His verbalise was most edge computing, looking beyond cloud computing. In a 2013 coming together inwards Microsoft, he had claimed that past times 2020, cloud computing would hold upwards disaggregated in addition to augmented past times edge/fog computing. He defended border computing putting forth latency/bandwidth, expense/service, in addition to battery-saving reasons.
Since thus he was involved inwards proving the utility of border computing alongside killer applications. He talked most "Glimpse: continuous realtime object recognition of mobile devices" from Sensys 2014 equally 1 application. Another application is the connected car. In 2015, they came upwards alongside ParkMaster, edge-powered inwards vehicle analytics for detecting opened upwards parking spaces inwards urban environments. As yous movement your smartphone detects (and thus uploads to cloud) empty parking spaces for others to after commons inwards that street. Your motorcar provides service to others, in addition to inwards render others supply the same service to you.
Yet, equally roughly other application of border computing, he pursued surveillance of populace buildings. The thought is to produce the filtering/analysis of video feeds correct inwards the edifice machines, instead of uploading the videos to cloud for remote offline analysis.
And finally, most recently, he has been applying the border computing concept to alive video analytics of traffic cameras at intersections. This projection serves past times collecting traffic video analytics in addition to information for the Vision Zero project. Vision Zero is a multi-national route traffic security projection started inwards 1997 that aims to orbit a highway organisation alongside no fatalities or serious injuries involving route traffic. The projection is deployed in addition to inwards piece of occupation inwards Bellevue in addition to Seattle streets, in addition to is inwards progress to hold upwards deployed inwards Cambridge UK.
Bruce has been interested inwards how the human encephalon organizes, stores, accesses in addition to understands sensory input in addition to its accumulated knowledge, in addition to nonetheless run alongside such a small-scale ability requirement. The recent success in addition to broad adoption of CRISPR has invigorated the area. Bruce's presentation referred to several recent articles inwards the area, including:

Keynote 1 - physician Victor Bahl (Microsoft Research) "Democratization of Streaming Video Analytics & the Emergence of Edge Computing"
Victor got a BS & MS marking from ECE at UB at the halt of 80s. He is a Distinguished Scientist in addition to Director of Mobile & Networking Research at Microsoft.His verbalise was most edge computing, looking beyond cloud computing. In a 2013 coming together inwards Microsoft, he had claimed that past times 2020, cloud computing would hold upwards disaggregated in addition to augmented past times edge/fog computing.

Invited talk: Prof. Bruce Shriver (Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative), "Unconventional Computer Architectures"
Bruce started his PhD at University at Buffalo CS subdivision inwards 1968 in addition to got his PhD inwards 1971. His verbalise was most rethinking/rebooting computation in addition to computers in addition to touched on many topics including neuromorphic engineering. (This topic was besides revisited past times physician Steve Kang, roughly other of our alum, inwards his Saturday's keynote titled "The fourth Industrial Revolution in addition to Future of Nanoscience in addition to Engineering".)Bruce has been interested inwards how the human encephalon organizes, stores, accesses in addition to understands sensory input in addition to its accumulated knowledge, in addition to nonetheless run alongside such a small-scale ability requirement. The recent success in addition to broad adoption of CRISPR has invigorated the area. Bruce's presentation referred to several recent articles inwards the area, including:
- DNA Fountain enables a robust in addition to efficient storage architecture, Elrich et al, Science, March 2017
- Model-based blueprint of RNA hybridization networks implemented inwards living cells, Rodrigo et al, Nucleic Acids Research, September 2017
- Complex cellular logic computation using ribocomputing devices, Green at al, Nature, July 2017
- Silicon quantum processor alongside robust long-distance qubit couplings, Tosi et al, Nature Communications, September 2017
- A Brain Built From Atomic Switches Can Learn, Quanta Magazine, Andreas von Bubnoff, September 2017
- On-chip generation of high-dimensional entangled quantum states in addition to their coherent control, Kues et al, Nature, June 2017
- A 1000000 spiking-neuron integrated circuit alongside a scalable communication network in addition to interface, Merolla et al, Science, August 2014
Student newspaper presentations
Among the pupil papers, roughly of the most interesting ones for me were the following.- "-based Feature Aggregation Network for Face Recognition" past times Nishant Sankaran, Sergey Tulyakov, Srirangaraj Setlur in addition to Venugopal Govindaraju. The thought hither is to piece of occupation metadata (yaw, pitch, roll, gender) unperturbed past times the characteristic extraction procedure to estimate lineament of facial image.
- "Differentially Private Empirical Risk Minimization alongside Non-convex Loss Function" past times Di Wang in addition to Jinhui Xu.
- "Emulating Quantum Circuits Via Boolean Formulas in addition to #SAT Solving" past times Chaowen Guan in addition to Kenneth Regan.
