Title: Improving Breathing Problem Detection: A New Approach for Better Patient Care
Speaker: Navchetan Awasthi, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Abstract: In my talk, I will discuss how we've improved the way we monitor and detect breathing problems, especially in older people who might be very sick. Right now, it's hard for machines to tell how bad these problems are, which makes it tricky for doctors to figure out what to do. So, we came up with a new way to look at all the numbers that machines measure, like how fast someone's breathing and how much oxygen is in their blood. We used fancy math to make sense of these numbers in real-time, comparing different methods to see which one works best. We tested our ideas with real patient data and found that our new method can predict how bad someone's breathing problem is pretty accurately. We'll also talk about how we can use this information to give doctors a heads-up when someone's having trouble breathing, which can help them take action earlier and hopefully make things better for the patient.

Title: ASR and NLP are Solved Problems, Are They?
Speaker: Aravind Ganapthiraju, PhD
Affliation: Vice President Applied AI, Uniphore
Abstract: ASR and NLP, the key components of any Conversational AI system have been around for decades. Transformers, ChatGPT, Claude, Llama .... all have put this space into hyper-excitement. Many even think ASR and NLP don't have many more problems left to be solved. That is far from the reality. I will talk about perception vs reality and showcase the areas of work that still have long ways to go before we claim success. The talk should open your minds to potential areas of research to pursue as well as challenges the applied AI teams solve daily to make Conversational AI truly useful and financially feasible.

Title: A Policy Gradient Algorithm for the Risk-Sensitive Exponential Cost MDP
Speaker: Mehrdad Moharrami, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at University of Iowa, USA
Abstract: We study the risk-sensitive exponential cost MDP formulation and develop a trajectory-based gradient algorithm to find the stationary point of the cost associated with a set of parameterized policies. We derive a formula that can be used to compute the policy gradient from (state, action, cost) information collected from sample paths of the MDP for each fixed parameterized policy. Unlike the traditional average-cost problem, standard stochastic approximation theory cannot be used to exploit this formula. To address the issue, we introduce a truncated and smooth version of the risk-sensitive cost and show that this new cost criterion can be used to approximate the risk-sensitive cost and its gradient uniformly under some mild assumptions. We then develop a trajectory-based gradient algorithm to minimize the smooth truncated estimation of the risk-sensitive cost and derive conditions under which a sequence of truncations can be used to solve the original, untruncated cost problem.

Title: Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Society: Adapting to a rapidly changing world
Speaker: Nandini Kannan, PhD
Affliation: Dean Academics and Director, Data Science Institute at Plaksha University, India
Abstract: The explosion in the use of AI and Data Science tools and technologies is disrupting and transforming every aspect of our lives. While Generative AI, in particular ChatGPT, has captured our collective imagination, there are both opportunities and risks that need to be addressed while implementing these tools. How will these emerging technologies impact the workforce of the future and how do academic institutions ensure they are training students who are prepared for these new careers? Data Science and AI programs need to adapt and evolve in this rapidly changing world, while ensuring students have strong foundational knowledge in mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It is also important for students to have expertise in science, engineering, medical, or social sciences through data-intensive projects, internships, or research experiences. Data Science and AI will play a critical role in addressing some of the biggest challenges facing our society such as climate change, healthcare, sustainability, and education. To ensure equitable and responsible innovation, issues related to fairness, privacy, bias, and explainability must be integrated into the curriculum. I will share some insights about transdisciplinary training, emerging areas of research, and curriculum. Agility and Adaptability are key to relevance in this new world!

Title: IoT Data Analysis: Learning and Anomaly Detection
Speaker: Nalini Ravishanker, PhD
Affliation: Professor at University of Connecticut, USA
Abstract: Data Science is now being offered as an academic program in many colleges and universities, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. What is the take-away for students enrolled in these programs to be well prepared for the workforce? We can discuss the preparation from trained data scientists that the workplace expects, using as an illustration a project on analyzing IoT temperature streams that involved teams from Statistics and Computer Science at UConn and data analysts and engineers at The Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB), an insurance/reinsurance firm in Hartford, CT. The company uses temperature sensor nodes to monitor temperatures for thousands of institutional buildings across the United States to prevent pipe-freeze losses to its customers. For this to happen, it is essential to automate the prediction/detection of anomalies in the temperature sensor readings. We describe a customized hybrid approach based on an isolation forest (IF) algorithm for anomaly detection, predicting pipe-freeze, and notifying its customers. We also discuss how the company can use a statistical model based approach to learn from the observed data whether a customer is likely to have taken action to prevent potential pipe freeze. This is joint research involving faculty and graduate students in Statistics and Computer Science along with domain experts from the firm.

Title: Pixels with Purpose: Revolutionizing Imaging RADARS through Signal Processing and Machine Learning
Speaker: Sai Gunaranjan Pelluri
Affliation: Staff Engineer at Renesas Electronics Corporation, India
Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of applications such as autonomous driving, traffic monitoring, and surveillance, the indispensability of Imaging RADARs has surged. Renowned for their exceptional detection accuracy and resolution, these devices play a pivotal role in safeguarding privacy. Beyond their conventional role as 4-D imaging tools, Imaging RADARs excel in precisely detecting range, Doppler, and direction-of-arrival (in both Azimuth and Elevation). In this talk, I will unravel the transformative journey of Imaging RADARs, where the backbone is formed by foundational signal processing (such as FFT, Kalman Filters) and machine learning algorithms (such as clustering and NNs). A convergence of cutting-edge IC technology, powerful MIMO antenna arrays, and robust signal processing and ML algorithms in Imaging RADAR designs is ensuring precision in estimation of fundamental parameters like range and direction while simultaneously unlocking a new frontier of capabilities, facilitated by comprehensive object classification.

Title: Challenges for automated applications and solutions
Speaker: Prashant W. Patil, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India
Abstract: The automated applications like video surveillance, traffic monitoring, autonomous driving demand good quality of recorded images or videos. Also, these applications routinely involve the sub-tasks such as object detection/segmentation, activity recognition, depth estimation, scene understating. However, the recorded data may be affected by various factors like bad weather, poor visibility, shadow, infrequent object motion, dynamic object motion, etc. Therefore, the recorded data must be pre-processed before giving to above mentioned sub-tasks. Current research achieved superior performance for the sub-tasks like object detection, activity recognition with considering all the challenges except bad weather. In this seminar, we will discuss the challenges for day-night time bad-weather conditions and some probable solutions to handle these conditions.

Title: Who's that? Person perception from voices
Speaker: Nadine Lavan, PhD
Affliation: Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, UK
Abstract: Listeners can readily make judgements about the identity, personality traits, physical characteristics, and social status of a person. In this talk, I will first discuss how listeners perceive voice identity, testing the limits of voice identity perception from familiar and unfamiliar voices. I will also discuss how we as listeners form complex impressions based on unfamiliar voices, and explore how much (or little) information we need to perceive various personality traits, physical and social characteristics of people from voices.

Title: Automating biodiversity monitoring using soundscapes
Speaker: Sarab Sethi, PhD
Affliation: Lecturer at Imperial College London, UK
Abstract: Human pressures are causing ecosystems around the world to change at an increasing rate. Accurate and large-scale monitoring of these changes is necessary, yet traditional survey techniques are often taxonomically focussed, laborious, or scale poorly. In this talk we will explore how AI-driven analyses of ecosystem soundscapes can provide a route to fully automating biodiversity monitoring. We will demonstrate how CNN-derived feature embeddings allow us to track and predict spatial and temporal patterns in species communities across biomes. This approach will be built on to demonstrate how acoustic monitoring can allow us to predict species occurrences in tropical forests, even where the species are silent. We will finally explore the generalisability (or lack thereof) of soundscape monitoring, and what the key challenges for the field going forward are.

Title: Making ordinary cameras extraordinary
Speaker: Srinivasa Narasimhan, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon Univesity, USA
Abstract: The convergence of computations with optics and imaging that started a few decades ago has created high quality, high dynamic range, low-light, and high-resolution images and videos and are in all our smart-phones today. In this talk, I will summarize current research that combines computing with existing CMOS sensors and has the potential to, quite simply, change what it means to be a camera. I will show cameras with extraordinary abilities that can see beyond the line of sight, see deep beneath the skin, see audio and mechanical vibrations, see better in poor weather and murky waters, see beneath the surface of crops, and much more. Much like the research during 1990-2010 transformed personal photography, current computational imaging research has the potential to impact many domains including healthcare, transportation, robotics and agriculture.

Title: Modeling language from raw speech with GANs
Speaker: Gasper Begus, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at University of California Berkeley, USA
Abstract: In this talk, I propose that language can be modeled from raw speech data in a fully unsupervised manner with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and that such modeling has implications both for the understanding of language acquisition and for the understanding of how deep neural networks learn internal representations. I propose an extension of the GAN architecture (fiwGAN) in which meaningful linguistic properties emerge from two networks learning to encode and decode information. FiwGAN captures the perception-production loop of human speech and, unlike most other deep learning architectures, has traces of communicative intent. I further propose a technique to identify latent variables in deep convolutional networks that represent linguistically meaningful units in a causal, disentangled, and interpretable way. We can thus uncover symbolic-like representations at the phonetic, phonological, syntactic and lexical semantic levels, analyze how learning biases in GANs match human learning biases in behavioral experiments, how speech processing in the brain compares to intermediate representations in deep neural networks, and what GANs’ innovative outputs can teach us about productivity in human language.

Title: Are you from North or South India? Analyzing systematic representational differences between humans and machines
Speaker: Harish Katti, PhD
Affliation: Research Fellow at National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), USA
Abstract: This talk explores the process of forming rapid and consistent first impressions from new faces, a fundamental aspect of human vision that shapes social interactions. It delves into the information extracted for judgments and investigates whether AI algorithms follow similar strategies. The investigation uncovers insights into the complex process of face classification and its implications for both human and AI vision systems, highlighting the value of studying challenging classification tasks. By utilizing both behavioral and computational methods, the study addresses the underlying features used for face judgments. The research introduces a complex geographical-origin classification challenge to understand feature representations in humans and AI algorithms. In Experiment 1, a diverse collection of 1,647 Indian faces was categorized by both humans and machine vision algorithms. While many algorithms matched human performance (64%), their error patterns varied significantly. The study also identified mouth shape as the most distinguishing facial part for human classification, surpassing eyes, nose, and external contour. Experiment 2 further confirmed mouth shape's significance through classifications of partially occluded faces. Experiment 3 revealed that humans rely more on generic features when processing inverted faces, as computational models better predicted human performance on inverted faces compared to upright faces. A key figure from this study comparing human behavior and many AI models made it to the cover of Journal of Vision, Vol 19(7) 2019 issue.

Title: Understanding climate variability with statistical machine learning and artificial intelligence
Speaker: Bedartha Goswami, PhD
Affliation: Group Leader at Univerisity of Tubingen, Germany
Abstract: Recent years have seen a boom in the application of statistical machine learning and deep learning methods to tackle problems in meteorology and climate science. In this talk, I will present three projects ongoing in my group that use machine learning concepts to understand climate variability. I will show how we can use similarity-based networks of climate time series data to reveal new features of intraseasonal variability of extreme rainfall propagation over South Asia in the summer that might potentially be useful for early warning systems of extreme monsoonal rain. I will next present how we can use principal component analysis in combination with Gaussian Mixture Models to categorize extreme phases of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and show how the Eastern Pacific El Niño is better modeled as two separate categories: a weaker 'canonical' form and an extreme El Niño, both of which show distinct idiosyncratic onset and development. Last, I will present how we can leverage deep learning to develop purely data-driven models for subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting of the ENSO that are at par with state-of-the-art physics based weather prediction models. Finally, we will briefly talk about what these recent developments mean for understanding and modelling climate variability over the Indian subcontinent.

Title: Revisiting the Economics of Large Language Models with Neural Scaling Laws and Dynamic Sparsity
Speaker: Anshumali Shrivastava, PhD
Affliation: Assoc. Professor at Rice University, USA
Abstract: Neural Scaling Law informally states that increased model size and data automatically improve AI. However, we have reached a point where the growth has reached a tipping end where the cost and energy associated with AI are becoming prohibitive. This talk will demonstrate the algorithmic progress that can exponentially reduce the compute and memory cost of training and inference using "dynamic sparsity" with neural networks. Dynamic sparsity, unlike static sparsity, aligns with Neural Scaling Laws and does not reduce the power of neural networks while reducing the number of FLOPS required by neural models by 99% or more. We will show how data structures, particularly randomized hash tables, can be used to design an efficient "associative memory" that reduces the number of multiplications associated with the training of the neural networks. Current implementations of this idea challenge the common knowledge prevailing in the community that specialized processors like GPUs are significantly superior to CPUs for training large neural networks. The resulting algorithm is orders of magnitude cheaper and energy-efficient. Our careful implementations can train billions of parameter recommendations and Language models on commodity desktop CPUs significantly faster than top-of-the-line TensorFlow alternatives on the most potent A100 GPU clusters, with the same or better accuracies. We will show some demos, including how to train and fine-tune (with rhfl) a billion-parameter language model on a laptop from scratch for search, discovery, and summarization.

Title: Making Food Computable
Speaker: Ganesh Bagler, PhD
Affliation: Professor at IIIT Delhi, India
Abstract: Cooking is an art. Besides being the basis of nutrition and health, culinary idiosyncrasies are at the core of our cultural identity. Combining and processing raw ingredients to compose delicious dishes is a creative act. However, the increasing availability of data and the advent of computational methods for their scrutiny are dramatically changing the artistic outlook toward gastronomy. The application of data-driven strategies for investigating gastronomic questions has created an all-new paradigm for studying food and cooking. Computational Gastronomy asks questions of culinary origin to seek answers via a structured compilation of data and their analysis. Making food computable will enable data-driven innovations and transform the global food landscape to achieve better public health and nutrition toward a sustainable future.

Title: Constrained Estimation and Control
Speaker: Prabhat K. Mishra, PhD
Affliation: Post-doctoral Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Abstract: Environmental uncertainties are unavoidable in practice and their worst-case bounds are generally unknown. On the other hand, actuators have hard limits to mechanically or electrically manipulate the variables of interest. This talk presents a computationally tractable approach to implement optimal control algorithms in the presence of bounded actions for systems with limited computational power. In particular, we employ a remote server to solve the underlying optimization problems in a receding horizon fashion and transmit the optimal actions through wireless channels. We shall discuss the key ingredients to design the algorithm, implementation issues and conclude with some data-driven extensions.

Title: Search for the Design Principles in Biology
Speaker: Biplab Bose, PhD
Affliation: Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India
Abstract: Once upon a time, Biology was a 'descriptive' subject. We gathered information on different organisms and arranged those systematically. However, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology revolutionized Biology. Now we detect, quantify and manipulate molecules within living systems. Using high-throughput techniques, Biologists are now generating a humongous amount of information. However, information alone is not helpful. We must distill that to develop scientific 'Theories' and 'Laws.' Over decades, scientists across disciplines have attempted to fill this void. They borrowed methods and concepts from Physics and Engineering to understand the "Generalised Design Principles" in living beings. In my talk, I will focus on this approach to Biology. I will argue that the 'Devil' is not in the details of empirical observations but in the underlying physical rules that work across the living and non-living world. I will use examples from different biological phenomena, like gene regulatory circuits and morphogenesis. I will show how simple physical rules and mathematical models help us to understand diverse, complex phenomena in biology.

Title: Low-Resource Machine Translation
Speaker: Pushpak Bhattacharyya, PhD
Affliation: Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India
Abstract: This talk will address multilingual computation, focusing on Machine Translation (MT), in a low-resource setting. Tasks in this area have to grapple with the characteristic problem of disambiguation in the face of resource scarcity, which is the reality for most languages and also arguably for ANY language when it comes to very high-end NLP tasks like, say, 100% disambiguation as demanded by pure interlingua-based MT. Starting with our early work on rule-based MT, we move to our research in Low Resource Machine Translation, covering SMT, NMT, segmenting, pivoting, and semi and unsupervised MT. The findings covered in this talk are based on contributions by many students and researchers over many years, reported in top conferences and journals.

Title: The Science of Reading Minds: Analyzing Functional Brain Images
Speaker: Ananth Grama, PhD
Affliation: Professor at Purdue University, USA
Abstract: Rapid advances in neuroimaging have resulted in large repositories of images with high temporal and spatial resolution. This has motivated complex connectomic analyses aimed at understanding representation and processing of stimuli . Such analyses require novel computational tools that significantly extend the state-of-the-art in machine learning and data science. These studies have far-reaching implications for the fields of precision psychiatry, behavioural analysis, and neurodegeneration, in addition to applications in AR/VR and advanced human interfaces. In this talk, I will discuss recent work in our group on understanding neuronal response to naturalistic visual stimulus -- I present two methods based on archetypal analysis and deep learning to: (a) find interpretable representations of fMRI response, (b) predict objects in visual frames, and (c) reconstruct visual inputs. I will also briefly describe computational methods to characterize individual-level uniqueness of functional connectomes. I will present methods based on matrix sampling, graph alignment, and linear algebraic techniques to accurately identify the identity of individuals, and the nature of the cognitive task being performed. I will conclude my talk by highlighting the immense significance and challenges posed by problems in the field of neuroimage analyses.

Title: Physiological factors underlying Parkinson's Disease
Speaker: Poonam Thakur, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at IISER Thiruvananthapuram
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease is associated with α-synuclein aggregation and progressive loss of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons (SN DA-neurons). Precise mechanism(s) behind selective vulnerability of SN DA-neurons to α-synuclein aggregation in comparison to ventral tegmental area (VTA) DA neurons is not known. Even within SN, DA-neurons in ventro-lateral tier degenerate earlier and to a larger extent compared to the neurons in dorso-medial tier. We used patch clamp electrophysiology to determine the basis for these differences. In my talk, I will walk you through the interesting molecular mechanisms behind this process.

Title: Deep Extreme Mixture Model for Time Series Forecasting
Speaker: Sahely Bhadra, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at IIT Palakkad
Abstract: Time Series Forecasting (TSF) has been a topic of extensive research, which has many real-world applications such as weather prediction, stock market value prediction, traffic control etc. Many machine learning models have been developed to address TSF, yet, predicting extreme values remains a challenge to be effectively addressed. Extreme events occur rarely, but tend to cause a huge impact, which makes extreme event prediction important. Assuming light tailed distributions, such as Gaussian distribution, on time series data does not do justice to the modeling of extreme points. To tackle this issue, we develop a novel approach towards improving attention to extreme event prediction. Within our work, we model time series data distribution, as a mixture of Gaussian distribution and Generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). In particular, we develop a novel Deep eXtreme Mixture Model (DXtreMM) for univariate time series forecasting, which addresses extreme events in time series. The model consists of two modules: 1) Variational Disentangled Auto-encoder (VD-AE) based classifier and 2) Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) based forecaster units combined with Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) estimators for lower and upper extreme values separately. VD-AE Classifier model predicts the possibility of occurrence of an extreme event given a time segment, and forecaster module predicts the exact value. Through extensive set of experiments on real-world datasets we have shown that our model performs well for extreme events and is comparable with the existing baseline methods for normal time step forecasting.

Title: Learning with Domain Knowledge to Develop Justifiable Convolutional Networks
Speaker: Mrinal Dasr, PhD
Affliation: Assistant Professor at IIT Palakkad
Abstract: The inherent structure of the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) allows them to extract features that are highly correlated with the classes while performing image classification. However, it may happen that the extracted features are merely coincidental and may not be justifiable from a human perspective. For example, from a set of images of cows on grassland, CNN can erroneously extract grass as the feature of the class cow. There are two main limitations to this kind of learning: firstly, in many false-negative cases, correct features will not be used, and secondly, in false-positive cases the system will lack accountability. There is no implicit way to inform CNN to learn the features that are justifiable from a human perspective to resolve these issues. In this paper, we argue that if we provide domain knowledge to guide the learning process of CNN, it is possible to reliably learn the justifiable features. We propose a systematic yet simple mechanism to incorporate domain knowledge to guide the learning process of the CNNs to extract justifiable features. The flip side is that it needs additional input. However, we have shown that even with minimal additional input our method can effectively propagate the knowledge within a class during training. We demonstrate that justifiable features not only enhance accuracy but also demand less amount of data and training time. Moreover, we also show that the proposed method is more robust against perturbational changes in the input images.
