AI Distinguished Lecture Series starts tomorrow
by Foster, Ian T. 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Dear colleagues: Tomorrow, Thursday July 1 at 10am, is the first of a new AI Distinguished Lecture Series. JinJun Xiong of IBM Research will speak on “A Statistical Distribution-based Deep Neural Network Model – a new perspective on effective learning<https://www.anl.gov/event/a-statistical-distributionbased-deep-neural-netwo…>” (see below). The series, described at https://www.anl.gov/cels/ai-distinguished-lecture-series, has an impressive line up of speakers from both academia and industry. I hope that you will add it to your calendars. Please contact the series organizer, Eliu Huerta elihu(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>, with any questions. He will also welcome suggestions for additional speakers. Regards – Ian A Statistical Distribution-based Deep Neural Network Model – a new perspective on effective learning July 1, 2021, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Speaker: JinJun Xiong, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center The AI Distinguished Lecture Series feature pioneers and innovators from around the world conducting research in foundational and applied artificial intelligence (AI). The lectures cover a variety of topics in academia, industry, finance and technology. Abstract: The impressive results achieved by deep neural networks (DNNs) in various tasks, computer vision in particular, such as image recognition, object detection and image segmentation, have sparked the recent surging interests in artificial intelligence (AI) from both the industry and the academia alike. The wide adoption of DNN models in real-time applications has, however, brought up a need for more effective training of an easily parallelizable DNN model for low latency and high throughput. This is particularly challenging because of DNN’s deep structures. To address this challenge, we observe that most of existing DNN models operate on deterministic numbers and process one single frame of image at a time, and may not fully utilize the temporal and contextual correlation typically present in multiple channels of the same image or adjacent frames from a video. Based on well-established statistical timing analysis foundations from the EDA domain, we propose a novel statistical distribution-based DNN model that extends existing DNN architectures but operates directly on correlated distributions rather than deterministic numbers. This new perspective of training DNN has resulted in surprising effects on achieving not only improved learning accuracy, but also reduced latency and increased high throughputs. Preliminary experimental results on various tasks, including 3D Cardiac Cine MRI segmentation, showed a great potential of this new type of statistical distribution-based DNN model, which warrants further investigation. Bio: Dr. Jinjun Xiong is currently Senior Researcher and Program Director for AI and Hybrid Clouds Systems at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. He co-founded and co-directs the IBM-Illinois Center for Cognitive Computing Systems Research (C3SR.com<http://c3sr.com/>). -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

by Taylor, Valerie E. 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hello Everyone: I am sending this email as a follow-up to discussions with Noah Paulson and Sibendu Som in EGS about the LDRD Prime in the area of AI for Science (Technology and Applications), for which pre-proposals are due Friday, July 2. Details about the pre-proposal and the application areas are given in the attached document. To facilitate collaborations with EGS, Noah and Sibendu have established a Teams channel for anyone interested in partnerships. If interested, please contact Noah and Sibendu to join the channel. The budget per year per project is $200K - $300K and will run for 2 years. Within CELS, the focus is on renewals of ongoing AI for Science projects, only. --Valerie -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing
