PhD Dissertation Defense: High-performance Translation Layers for Cloud Immutable Storage Mohammad Hossein Hajkazemi Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Most storage interfaces support in-place updates: blocks can be rewritten, files can be modified at byte granularity, fields may be updated in database table rows. Yet internally these layers often rely on out-of-place (immutable) writes. In some cases, […]
PhD Dissertation Defense: Visual Learning with Limited Supervision Kunpeng Li Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in many computer vision tasks. However, they typically rely on large amounts of carefully labeled training data whose annotating process is usually expensive, time-consuming and even infeasible when considering the task complexity and scarcity […]

PhD Proposal Review: Automated Bayesian Network Exploration for Nuisance-Robust Inference Andac Demir Location: Zoom Link Abstract: A fundamental challenge in the analysis of physiological signals is learning useful features that are robust to nuisance factors e.g., inter-subject & inter-session variability, and achieve the highest nuisance-invariant classification performance. Towards resolving this problem, we introduce 2 frameworks: […]
PhD Proposal Review: Ferroelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers for Intra-body and In-memory Sensing Applications Bernard Herrera Location: Teams Abstract: Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUTs) are Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices that have become an established technology in applications such as range-finding, fingerprint sensing and imaging due to their capability of ultrasonic transduction in a miniaturized footprint, […]
