SUMMARY:Northeast Regional Higher Education Neurodiversity Coalition Conference
DESCRIPTION:Improving educational and professional outcomes for neurodivergent students \nThis conference is both timely and relevant. The neurodiverse population is increasing\, while students have lower academic performance and higher college dropout and underemployment rates. \nJoin Together to Make a Difference \n\nIncrease your understanding of neurodiversity\nLearn trends in neurodiversity employment\nUnderstand best practices for neuroinclusive pedagogy and curriculum\nGain knowledge to create a neuroinclusive workplace and campus\nExplore and share best practices with a community of higher education and industry professionals\n\nWho Should Attend\nFirst-year engineering faculty\, deans\, department chairs\, teaching faculty\, research assistants\, academic and career advisors\, DEI professionals\, employers\, and other college and workforce professionals. \nFeatured Keynote Speakers \nDr. Jeff Karp\, a renowned biomedical engineer at Harvard Medical School and MIT grew up being “written off” for his learning differences. He consequently developed “Life Ignition Tools\,” a process for embracing life that resulted from years of iteration and tinkering to make his unique thought patterns and behavior work for him. \nJohn Elder Robison\, a well-known author of Switched On: A Memoir of Brain Change and Emotional Intelligence\, Look Me in the Eye\, Be Different\, and Raising Cubby\, which details his life with Asperger syndrome. He’s a leading voice for autism and neurodiversity\, imploring audiences to find strengths where others see weaknesses based on societal standards. \nLearn More and Register\nhttps://coe.northeastern.edu/nehenc. \nPresented in partnership by Northeastern University\, University of Connecticut\, and the University of Rhode Island

SUMMARY:Yifan Gong PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Name:\nYifan Gong \nTitle:\nTowards Energy-Efficient Deep Learning for Sustainable AI \nDate:\n8/9/2024 \nTime:\n11:00:00 AM \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Yanzhi Wang (Advisor) \nProf. David R. Kaeli \nProf. Xue Lin \nProf.  Huaizu Jiang\nProf. Stratis Ioannidis \nAbstract:\nThe rapid advancements in deep learning (DL) and artificial intelligence (AI) have led to transformative applications across various domains\, such as community virtual reality experiences\, autonomous systems\, and climate change prediction. Edge devices including mobile and embedded systems play a vital role in carrying these applications\, facilitating the widespread adoption of machine intelligence. Along with the great success of DL and AI is the huge energy consumption for both training and inference. With the breakthrough of large-scale models for AI-generated content (AIGC) such as large language models and diffusion models\, the energy consumption issue intensifies\, causing the urgent need for sustainable AI solutions. In this talk\, I will talk about how to facilitate deep learning on various edge devices in an energy-efficient manner for the goal of sustainable AI. Specifically\, I will start by introducing my two system-level approaches to tackling the challenge. The first approach is named bottom-up\, which conducts AI algorithm-aware efficient system design. The second approach is a top-down approach that achieves hardware-driven efficient AI algorithm design. Then\, I will share my recent works addressing the efficiency issues for large-scale models. Finally\, I will show the applications of my methods and pointers to the future direction. \n
