SUMMARY:ECE PhD Proposal Review: Bin Sun
DESCRIPTION:PhD Proposal Review: Lightweight Neural Networks via Factorization \nBin Sun \nLocation: Zoom Link \nAbstract: Deep learning has become popular in recent years primarily due to powerful computing devices such as GPUs. However\, many applications such as face alignment\, image classification\, and gesture recognition need to be deployed to multimedia devices\, smartphones\, or embedded systems with limited resources. Thus\, there is an urgent need for high-performance but memory-efficient deep learning models. For this\, we design several lightweight deep learning models for different tasks with factorization strategies. \nSpecifically\, we constructed a lightweight face alignment model by proposing a factorization-based deep convolution module named Depthwise Separable Block (DSB) and a light but practical module based on the spatial configuration of the faces. Experiments on four popular datasets verify that Block Mobilenet has better overall performance with less than 1MB storage size. Besides the face analysis application\, we also explored a general\, lightweight deep learning module for image classification with low-rank pointwise residual (LRPR) convolution\, called LRPRNet. Essentially\, LRPR aims at using a low-rank approximation to factorize the pointwise convolution while keeping depthwise convolutions as the residual module to rectify the LRPR module. Moreover\, our LRPR is quite general and can be directly applied to many existing network architectures.\nDue to the success of the factorization strategy on image-based data\, we extended factorization on time sequence data for Sign Language Recognition (SLR). We achieved the first rank in the challenge of SLR with the help of our proposed novel Separable Spatial-Temporal Convolution Network (SSTCN)\, which divides a 3D convolution on joint features into several stages \, which help the SSTCN achieve higher accuracy with fewer parameters.

SUMMARY:BioE Seminar: The Case for Diversity and Inclusion\, From An Engineer’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Department of Bioengineering  \nSeminar Series  \nKarl W. Reid\, Ed.D.\, CDP   \nSenior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer\, Northeastern University  “The Case for Diversity and Inclusion\, From An Engineer’s Perspective”  \nBehrakis 010  \nABSTRACT:  \nThis talk makes the case for why diversity and inclusion matter and offers steps to creating more equitable and inclusive campuses and workplaces. \nBIOGRAPHY:  \nDr. Karl W. Reid was appointed Senior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer at Northeastern University on April  1\, 2021. He also holds the title of Professor of Practice in the Graduate School of Education in the College of  Professional Studies. Prior to joining Northeastern\, Dr. Reid served for seven years as the Executive Director of the  National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE)\, marking his return to the organization that gave him his first major leadership experience 32 years earlier. A certified diversity professional\, Dr. Reid has been a leading national advocate for diversity and inclusion\, and increasing college access\, opportunity\, and success for low-income and minority youth. \nDr. Reid came to NSBE from the United Negro College Fund (UNCF)\, where he oversaw new program development\, research\, and capacity building for the organization’s 37 historically black colleges and universities and held the title of Senior Vice President for Research\, Innovation\, and Member College  Engagement. Before his service at UNCF\, he worked in positions of progressive responsibility to increase diversity at his alma mater\, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, which he left as Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and Director of the Office of Minority Education. While working at MIT as Director of Engineering Outreach Programs\, Dr. Reid earned his Doctor of Education degree at Harvard University. His dissertation explored the interrelationship of race\, identity\, and academic achievement for African American males in college. He is the author of “Working Smarter\, Not Just Harder: Three Sensible Strategies for  Succeeding in College…and Life.” Dr. Reid is also a founding member of the 50K Coalition\, a national effort to produce 50\,000 diverse engineering graduates annually by 2025. \nDr. Reid was born in the Bronx\, New York\, and grew up in Roosevelt\, New York\, a mostly working-class\, African-American community on Long Island. The high value his parents placed on education\, and his admission to a well-resourced\, magnet high school near Roosevelt\, put him on a track to follow his older brother to MIT\, where he earned his undergraduate and master’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering and was a Tau Beta Pi Scholar. He credits his membership in the NSBE chapter at MIT  with giving a vital boost to his self-confidence and leadership skills. He joined the Society during his freshman year\, was elected chapter Vice President during his junior year\, and subsequently served as NSBE National  Chair. \nAfter graduating from MIT\, Dr. Reid worked in the computer industry for 12 years in product management\, marketing\, sales\, and consulting. In 1991\, five years into a successful career in sales and marketing with IBM Corporation\, Dr. Reid read Jonathan Kozol’s “Savage Inequalities\,” a seminal book about educational disparities in the U.S.\, which sparked his passion for bringing about positive change through the education of African Americans and other underserved populations. \nDr. Reid sits on the National Council for Expanding American Innovation at the US Patent and  Trademark Office; the Committee on Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women of Color in Technology at the National Academy of Engineering; the American Society for Civil Engineers Industrial Leaders Council;  the Dean’s advisory cabinets for the Harvard University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the University of Michigan College of Engineering. He holds memberships in the American Society for Engineering Education and the Council of Engineering and Scientific Society Executives. \nHe is a frequent contributor to the national diversity engineering dialogue and author of several commentary pieces\, and he has been quoted in numerous articles in publications such as Forbes\, The Wall Street Journal\, U.S.  News & World Report\, and The Hechinger Report.

SUMMARY:Showcase of Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor (SOURCE)
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Huskies! Learn more about what cutting-edge research and creative endeavor look like at Northeastern. This is your chance to talk one-on-one with faculty from across the colleges about their research – and how you can get involved in projects during your time at Northeastern. Not everyone will have open positions right now but you’ll get a chance to see the range of work that’s happening and begin to make connections that you can build for the rest of your time at Northeastern. \nBefore you attend\, here’s some advice to consider. \n\nTake a look and see who’ll be there. We have an online database of attendees. Go through it and learn more about the project areas and visit the researcher/creative practitioner web pages. This will help prepare you for a conversation and help you ask any questions you might have.\nGet ready for a conversation from your end. Think about goals you have \, as well as your current interests and skills and those that you want to develop. How does what you have read about the various projects align with what you know about yourself and your interests? Take a minute to practice a simple declarative sentence\, “My name is ____________. I study ____________. I think that this part of your work ____________ is interesting because of this intellectual reason/moral imperative/grand impact ____________.  I’d love to learn more about it because of this previous experience ____________ and these skills ____________ and my long-term interest in ____________.  How I can get involved?” You might not know how to fill in all of the blanks right now (that’s why you’re in school) but see how close you can get.  When you know who you are\, what you value\, and how you can contribute — and get some practice saying it out loud– being confident becomes easier.\nRemember\, not every faculty member will have open positions now — but a good impression lasts a long time. You can’t go wrong with being polite and courteous.   Address faculty members as Professor until told otherwise (better to err on the side of formality).\nKeep in mind your time! If you want to be involved in research or creative practice\, a good thing to keep in mind is that faculty members will commit a lot of time to training and mentoring their undergraduates. They’re investing time\, energy\, and expertise in their mentees and want to know that you will make time for the projects\, show up consistently\, and ideally be with them for longer than a semester if possible. The learning curve of most projects is steep and it takes some time to get to the meatiest parts of the work. Be honest with yourself about the commitment you can make\, be frank with your faculty mentors\, and stick to your word. Communication and honesty in relationships\, including the mentoring relationship\, is key.\n\nSOURCE is a collaboration between Bouvé College of Health Sciences; College of Arts\, Media and Design; College of Engineering; College of Science; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; D’Amore-McKim School of Business; and Khoury College of Computer Science. It is coordinated by Undergraduate Research and Fellowships on behalf of the Office of the Chancellor.
