SUMMARY:Dean's Speaker: What Society Must Require from AI
DESCRIPTION:WHAT SOCIETY MUST REQUIRE FROM AI \nA lecture with Dr. Ronald M. Baecker\, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science and Bell Chair in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Toronto \nDr. Baecker will discuss the dangers of premature use of AI\, and what society must require of algorithms affecting human welfare\, health\, life\, and death. The talk will be of interest to researchers in prioritizing problems for AI guided by human-computer interaction\, as well as policy makers and citizens considering when and how AI technology should be deployed. \nPlease RSVP to attend \nLunch will be served following the lecture. \nRonald M. Baecker received bachelor’s\, master’s\, and doctoral degrees from MIT. He researched interactive computing at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory\, the National Institutes of Health\, Xerox PARC\, Apple Computer\, and the MIT Media Lab. At the University of Toronto\, he founded its Knowledge Media Design Institute and its Technologies for Aging Gracefully Lab\, and co-founded its Dynamic Graphics Project. He has started five software companies\, leading three as founding CEO\, and has taught principles of software entrepreneurship for over three decades. \nFenway Center or via Zoom \nView Flyer

SUMMARY:Systems Thinking\, Community Engagement\, and Collaborative Change Within and Beyond Engineering Education
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 28th at 12pm (VIRTUAL)\n \nPlease Register:\nhttps://bit.ly/3BPSSOu \nAll attendees receive a FREE BOOK! \nAbstract: This seminar explores intersections between systems thinking\, community engagement\, and collaborative change within and beyond engineering education by discussing three big questions: \nWhat skills do we (and our students) need to address some of the complex\, intractable\, systemic challenges that we care about? How would we know what learning looks like? \nWhat are some of the central values\, imperatives\, or habits of mind that comprise community engagement? Where do we fit in to address issues we care about? \nWhat factors influence our capacity to collaboratively enact change?  \nThe seminar will be grounded in brief findings from research projects engaged with these core questions and will invite discussion about how we can prioritize these activities within engineering education and the opportunities for broader impacts. \nBio: Dr. Jake Grohs is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education and an affiliate faculty member to both Learning Science and Technologies and Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics. Grohs currently serves as PI of two and co-PI of two NSF-funded education focused grants which involve partnering with different stakeholder groups on continuous improvement or collaborative change (e.g.\, K12 teachers and administrators\, university engineering faculty). His primary research interests focus on systems thinking\, including how individuals reason through complex ill-structured problems\, how educational environments develop systems thinking skills\, and how collaborative groups might apply systems thinking to enact positive change.

SUMMARY:Guillem Reus Muns' PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 332 \n“AI for communications and sensing in RF environments” \nAbstract: \nThe recent growth of Internet of Things (IoT)\, as well as other new revolutionary applications utilizing wireless spectrum are leading the way towards realization of next generation wireless systems that jointly utilize communications and sensing. However\, such systems offer many degrees of freedom\, and optimizing them for a specific task is difficult to accomplish with deterministic and classical approaches. For this reason\, data-driven and AI-based methods have been pursued actively by the research community\, as they are able to find solutions that often come close to or exceed the performance of the deterministic counterparts with a fractional execution complexity. This thesis presents\, through real systems and with experimental validation\, our progressive efforts in three broad areas\, where AI enables the operation of aerial and terrestrial systems that combine sensing and communications. This dissertation explores the following key use cases with distinct contributions made in each: \ni) Sensing-aided communications for air and ground systems. First\, we present a UAV communication method that defines constellation points in space that map to transmitter frequency bands and are detected at the Base Station using millimeter wave sensors. Second\, we explore alternative vehicle-to-infrastructure mmWave beamforming methods\, leveraging a) vehicle position and velocity estimation using in-band standard compliant 802.11ad radar and b) camera images and GPS location information.\nii) Signal classification using communication signals\, where we propose a) a UAV classification method using uniquely UAV-transmitted signals and b) an RF fingerprinting technique that improves class separation by combining triplet loss with regular classification techniques.\niii) ‘AirFC’\, an over-the-air computation method that implements fully connected neural networks inference leveraging multi-antenna systems. \nFinally\, the proposed work will address challenges in the CBRS band\, where a tiered structure is implemented to access the spectrum. Hence\, continuous sensing is needed to make sure that radar (tier 1) is not interfered by cellular systems (tier 2). Here\, we propose reusing the already existing cellular infrastructure to act as a radar detector\, which enhances their functionality to go beyond that of regular wireless communications. \nCommittee: \nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury (Advisor) \nProf. Hanumant Singh \nProf. Stratis Ioannidis
