Provably-Safe Offloading of Neural Network Controllers for Energy-Efficiency in Autonomous Driving Systems

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

DATE/TIME: Wednesday, January 23rd, 12:00pm
SPEAKER: Mohanad Odema
To mitigate the high energy demand of Neural Network (NN) based Autonomous Driving Systems (ADSs), we consider the problem of offloading NN controllers from the ADS to nearby edge-computing infrastructure, but in such a way that formal vehicle safety properties are guaranteed. In particular, we propose the EnergyShield framework, which repurposes a controller "shield" as a low-power runtime safety monitor for the ADS vehicle.

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.
