Micro and nanofabrication facilities employ advanced techniques including AI to make devices such as semiconductors(CPU,GPU), microelectromechanical, photonic, biological, and energy harvesting devices, to name a few of the applications. We will discuss the roles that data, computation, and AI can play in these unique fabrication processes.

In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of artificial intelligence (better known as AI) play a huge role in the evolving software landscape. It’s important to discuss the limitations AI does provide and what it means for our future as we navigate through a massive technological shift and being able to understand humans biases and the power they hold over the upcoming technology.

Many feel they understand the concept of cloud computing, but few fully grasp the scope of what’s possible and why it matters for their roles. During this one hour lecture, we’ll go over the comprehensive definition of cloud computing, the role of AWS, the business model and value proposition for companies, core concepts, and how you can get started learning about the cloud and AWS. This lecture will be given at a 100-level depth and is suited for students, faculty, and City Tech/CUNY administrators alike.

In this 20-year retrospective, we discuss some of the challenges of dealing with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks from its origins in 1999 to the recent attacks in the late 2010s. We describe first architectures of DDoS agents, the challenges of DDoS agent/bot forensics, the variety of topologies and command-and-control mechanisms for botnets over the years, the different victim populations from scientific workstations to IoT devices, future and current Internet design considerations, as well as attack and defense mechanisms at the host and network levels.

Matching human performance is one of the most difficult problems for a variety of speech communication technologies, including automatic speech recognition, voice processing in hearing aids, and mobile telephony. One theory of human noise robustness is that listeners pick out reliable “glimpses” of a target sound and utilize contextual clues to fill in missing information using top-down knowledge. This talk presents work that brings both of these processes to machines.

In this talk we’ll go over TensorFlow, an open- source cross-platform machine learning library developed by Google, and explore its new feature: eager execution. We’ll go over how to use it to write dynamic models, to debug and profile models, and to learn deep learning.

In a world of open data and consumer platforms it is easy to forget the significant quantities of high-value data still held by entities who view or require those assets to be proprietary. A myriad of parties from corporations to government entities are keen to explore new advances in AI but do not recognize the challenges that will befall them as they try to protect the data assets that are their lifeblood. ‘Applied AI’ is the study of the novel techniques required to translate AI innovations into agents of value creation for this silent majority. We’ll explore the limitations of today’s most commonly applied AI techniques and discuss a variety of ways institutions are accommodating these shortfalls. We’ll also spend some time on exciting new results in the nascent field of few shot learning to inspire further hope for the future and show that there is core innovation in AI still to be accomplished.

Yu-Wen Chen, PhD
Assistant Professor, CST Dept.
December 7, 12pm-1pm, Room N907
Dr. Chen presents an introduction to smart grid and cloud computing as the foundation for the design of customer-oriented energy-efficient systems (EmaaS). These systems provide financial incentives to customers thus enhancing the renewable energy sources(solar, wind, electrical) integration with the smart grid community.
