However, turning these ideas into commonly used tools has been significantly harder and slower than predicted. Suchi Saria’s research has focused on closing fundamental technical gaps related to the development and robust translation of AI-based medical tools from messy, multimodal observational datasets. Her industry experience has given her a firsthand view into hurdles that must be tackled for scaling these solutions in the real world. In 2022, her team published three manuscripts featured on the cover of <em>Nature Medicine</em> that shared results from one of the largest real-world evaluations of a medical AI tool to date; these studies were also the first to show the impact of AI on saving lives. Based on these results, her team achieved FDA Breakthrough status. This talk will give an overview on what it takes to go from an idea to a bedside tool. Along the way, Saria will give pointers on new technical ideas and open research problems in AI safety, human-machine teaming, and modeling multimodal temporal data.<br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20241001-Suchi_Saria" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View the recording >></strong></a></p> <p><strong><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1984844 alignleft" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Untitled-design.jpg" alt="Headshot of Jason Corso." width="215" height="300" /></strong><strong>Jason Corso<br /> University of Michigan<br /> Title:</strong> <span>Curious Embeddings, Hazy Oracles, and the Path to Safe, Cooperative AI</span><br /> <strong>Date: </strong>December 5, 2024<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong><span>Cooperation through safe and trustworthy communication and interaction is fundamental to how human teams accomplish complex tasks. Yet, despite significant—and sometimes revolutionary—advances in AI, we have barely begun to unlock the potential of safe, cooperative AI. This may stem from our limited understanding of how multimodal, large-scale AI models function; the one-sided nature of contemporary, fully-supervised AI approaches; or social concerns about human-AI collaboration. In this talk, Jason Corso will delve into these layers of inquiry, beginning with a principled exploration of what the embeddings in large-scale foundation models reveal about the underlying problem and data, including new results disentangling sample-size from Bayes error and decision-boundary complexity. He will then introduce the concept of the human collaborator as a “hazy oracle”—a fallible partner rather than an omniscient information source—and establish a framework for modeling human-supplied error during collaboration. Building on these foundational insights, Corso will conclude with applications of these ideas to foster safe and effective human-AI collaboration in the health sciences.</span><br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20241205-Jason_Corso" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View the recording >></strong></a></p> <p><strong>Additional speakers TBA.</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="js-accordion-item js-accordion-item-1-2 accordion_item"> <h2 class="accordion_item_heading"> <button class="js-accordion-swap js-swap accordion_item_button" id="js-accordion-swap-1-2" data-swap-target=".js-accordion-item-1-2"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_inner"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_label"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_title">2023-24 Gerald M.

Is there a dichotomy between LLMs and “large world models?” What is the role of visual perception in learning such models? Can perceptual agents trained by passive observation learn world models suitable for control? To begin tackling these questions, Stefano Soatto will first address the issue of controllability of LLMs and propose a simplistic definition of “meaning” that reflects the functional characteristics of a trained LLM. He will show that a well-trained LLM establishes a topology in the space of meanings, represented by equivalence classes of the trajectories of an underlying dynamical model. Then, he will describe both necessary and sufficient conditions for controllability in such a space of meanings. He will highlight the relation between meanings induced by a trained LLM upon the set of sentences that can be uttered and “physical scenes” underlying sets of images that can be observed. Lastly, he will show that popular models ostensibly used to represent the 3D scene (neural radiance fields) can at most represent the images on which they are trained, but not the underlying physical scene; however, composing a NeRF with a latent diffusion model or another inductively-trained generative model yields a viable representation of the physical scene.<br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20230928-Soatto" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View the recording >></strong></a></p> <p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1976561 size-full" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Ohran-Firat.jpg" alt="Ohran Firat" width="215" height="300" />Ohran Firat</strong><strong><br /> Google<br /> LLMs, AI, NLP<br /> Title:</strong> Ten Insights from a Machine Learning Researcher and Practitioner on Scaling Models and Languages in NLP in Ten Years<br /> <strong>Date: </strong>October 24, 2023<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong>The field of natural language processing has seen rapid growth in recent years, driven by advances in machine learning. As a result, NLP models have become increasingly large and complex, capable of performing a wide range of tasks and understanding many languages. This talk will discuss the evolution of NLP models from specialized to generalist, drawing on the speaker’s personal experience working in the field for over ten years. Topics covered will include: building massively multilingual and large neural machine translation systems (M4); infrastructure and system research enabling the construction of such systems (GPipe, GShard); foundational machine learning research that has advanced the state-of-the-art predictability (aka scaling laws); deployment and organizational challenges in the large language model space; and more. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the future of NLP and the potential of LLMs to unlock new frontiers.<br /> <strong><a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20231024-Firat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View the recording >></a></strong></p> <p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1976555 alignleft" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/bio_vl-214x300.jpg" alt="Q.

Vera Liao</strong><strong><br /> Microsoft Research<br /> HCI, AI<br /> Title:</strong> Human-Centered AI Transparency<br /> <strong>Date: </strong>November 2, 2023<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong>Transparency—enabling appropriate understanding of AI models or systems—is considered a pillar of responsible AI. The AI research community and industry have developed an abundance of techniques and artifacts in the hope of achieving transparency, including transparent model reporting, model evaluation, explainable AI, and communication of model uncertainty. Meanwhile, the human-computer interaction community has taken human-centered approaches to these topics, building on its long-standing interests in design to support user understanding and appropriate mental models. In this talk, Q. Vera Liao will give an overview of common approaches and lessons learned from HCI research on AI transparency. With the recent rise of large language models and LLM-infused systems, she will also reflect on their unique challenges in providing transparency and discuss open questions.<br /> <strong><a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20231102-Liao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View the recording >></a></strong></p> <p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1976655 size-medium" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Justine-Sherry-215x300.jpg" alt="Headshot of Justine Sherry." width="215" height="300" srcset="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Justine-Sherry-215x300.jpg 215w, https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Justine-Sherry.jpg 672w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 215px) 100vw, 215px" />Justine Sherry</strong><strong><br /> Carnegie Mellon<br /> Networking<br /> Title:</strong> The I/O-Driven Server: Shifting Control of Data Movement in Future Data Centers<br /> <strong>Date: </strong>November 13, 2023<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong>Accelerators are everywhere in computer systems research today, and in this context, it is easy to see “smart” Network Interface Cards—which embed some programmable compute power in the network interface of the server—as simply another chapter in this story. In this talk, Justine Sherry will discuss how SmartNICs do more than simply “accelerate” network-intensive computing. Instead, she argues that SmartNICs radically reorient the control of data movement within the server in a way that is necessary for server hardware to scale with the deluge of network traffic in data centers. She will illustrate a few exemplary systems—Pigasus IDS, the Ensō NIC protocol, and the KOPI OS architecture—from her own research group, as well as exciting work in other labs, all of which reorient server data movement using programmable NICs.<br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20231113-Sherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View the recording >></strong></a></p> <p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1976557 alignleft" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Aniruddha-Kembhavi.jpg" alt="Aniruddha Kembhavi" width="215" height="300" />Aniruddha Kembhavi</strong><strong><br /> Allen Institute for AI<br /> Computer Vision<br /> Title:</strong> Building Foundation Models for Vision and Robotics<br /> <strong>Date: </strong>March 26, 2024<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong>Large language models support a whole gamut of tasks in natural language. In contrast, unification has been more challenging in computer vision, partly due to the heterogeneity of tasks in the visual domain and a scarcity of robotics data in the physical world. How do we create powerful unified systems for vision and robotics that can be as capable and creative as their language counterparts? Aniruddha Kembhavi will first present his work on Unified IO, the first single neural model to perform a large and diverse set of AI tasks spanning classical computer vision, image synthesis, vision-and-language, and natural language processing, and his follow-up work, Unified IO 2, that brings in video, audio, and action. Then he will present his recent surprising finding in robotics: Imitating shortest path planners in simulation can produce agents that can proficiently navigate, explore, and manipulate objects in the real world, with no human data or RL and with just RGB sensing—made possible by his recent works on ProcTHOR, HoloDeck, and ObjaVerse. Finally, he will present a compelling alternative to building unified models, Visual Programming, which uses language models as code generators to invoke smaller specialized vision models. This paradigm is efficient and effective, leverages models sourced from the entire community, and scales easily to large sets of diverse tasks.<br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20240326-Aniruddha_Kembhavi" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>View the recording >></strong></a></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-1980201 size-full" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Untitled-design-3.jpg" alt="Headshot of Zhiqiang Lin." width="215" height="300" /><strong>Zhiqiang Lin<br /> Ohio State University<br /> Cybersecurity<br /> Title:</strong> Rethinking the Security and Privacy of Bluetooth Low Energy<br /> <strong>Date: </strong>May 2, 2024<br /> <strong>Abstract: </strong>Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stands at the forefront of near-range wireless communication technology, integral to a myriad of Internet of Things devices (spanning health care, fitness, wearables, and smart home applications), primarily due to its significantly low energy consumption. However, the past few years have unveiled numerous security flaws, placing billions of Bluetooth devices at risk. While luckily these flaws have been discovered (some of which have been fixed), there is no reason to believe that current BLE protocols and implementations are free from other flaws. In this talk, Zhiqiang Lin will present a line of recent efforts aimed at enhancing BLE security and privacy. In particular, he will first present the protocol-level downgrade attack, an attack that can force the secure BLE channels into insecure ones to break the data integrity and confidentiality of BLE traffic. Then, he will introduce the Bluetooth Address Tracking (BAT) attack, a novel protocol-level attack, which can track randomized Bluetooth MAC addresses by using an innovative allowlist-based side channel. Next, he will talk about the lessons learned, root causes of the attacks, and their countermeasures. Finally, he will conclude his talk by discussing future directions in Bluetooth security and privacy.<br /> <a href="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/cssemvids/player.php?v=20240502-Zhiqiang_Lin" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">View the recording >></span></strong></a></p> </div> </div> <div class="js-accordion-item js-accordion-item-1-3 accordion_item"> <h2 class="accordion_item_heading"> <button class="js-accordion-swap js-swap accordion_item_button" id="js-accordion-swap-1-3" data-swap-target=".js-accordion-item-1-3"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_inner"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_label"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_title">2020-21 Gerald M.

They are now starting to take control of how packets are processed too. Networks, for the first time, are on the cusp of being programmable end-to-end, specified top-to-bottom, and defined entirely by software. We will think of the network as a programmable platform, a distributed system, that we specify top-down using software, rather than protocols. This has big ramifications for networks in the future, creating some interesting new possibilities to verify that a network is “correct by construction”, to measure and validate its behavior in real-time against a network specification, and to correct bugs through closed-loop control.</span><span></span></p> </div> </div> <div class="js-accordion-item js-accordion-item-1-4 accordion_item"> <h2 class="accordion_item_heading"> <button class="js-accordion-swap js-swap accordion_item_button" id="js-accordion-swap-1-4" data-swap-target=".js-accordion-item-1-4"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_inner"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_label"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_title">2019-20 Gerald M.

This talk presents Almond as an open-source alternative. Unlike existing commercial assistants, Almond can be programmed in natural language to perform new tasks. It lets users control who, what, when, where, and how their data are to be shared, all without disclosure to a third party. Almond has a Write-Once-Run-Anywhere (WORA) skill platform: skills need to be written only once and can run automatically on other assistants.

Much of this data is heterogeneous in nature and interlinked in a myriad of complex ways. From information integration to scientific discovery to computational social science, we need machine learning methods that are able to exploit both the inherent uncertainty and the innate structure in a domain. Statistical relational learning (SRL) is a subfield that builds on principles from probability theory and statistics to address uncertainty while incorporating tools from knowledge representation and logic to represent structure. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to SRL, present templates for common structured prediction problems, and describe modeling approaches that mix logic, probabilistic inference and latent variables. I’ll overview our recent work on probabilistic soft logic (PSL), a SRL framework for large-scale collective, probabilistic reasoning in relational domains. I’ll close by highlighting emerging opportunities (and challenges!!) in realizing the effectiveness of data and structure for knowledge discovery.</span></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1965367 alignleft" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Jodi_Forlizzi1_0-768x512-1-300x200.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Jodi_Forlizzi1_0-768x512-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Jodi_Forlizzi1_0-768x512-1-500x334.jpeg 500w, https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Jodi_Forlizzi1_0-768x512-1-740x494.jpeg 740w, https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Jodi_Forlizzi1_0-768x512-1.jpeg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p><strong>Jodi Forlizzi<br /> CMU<br /> </strong><strong>Human Computer Interactions<br /> </strong><strong>Talk Title:</strong><span>Designing Today’s Product-Service Ecologies</span><strong><br /> </strong><strong>Date:</strong><span> November 7, 2019</span><br /> <strong>Abstract:</strong><span>This talk will reflect my walk through the discipline of design’s many eras and shifts, in order to understand this movement from designing products to designing platforms. The eras of user-centered design, experience design, service design, and systems design will be explored to better understand this migration. An alternative framing, product-service ecologies, will be introduced to stress a systemic and ecological view as a design approach to designing the products, services, environments, and platforms of today. A systemic view ensures that the designer can identify a need and understand the implications of designing something to impact the ecology in a positive way. A systemic view helps move the designer from problem solving to problem seeking, from modeling to understanding relationships, and from prototyping to perturbing the system to understand outcomes. It also ensures that designers are creating pragmatic and purposeful systems that will improve the state of today’s world.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="js-accordion-item js-accordion-item-1-5 accordion_item"> <h2 class="accordion_item_heading"> <button class="js-accordion-swap js-swap accordion_item_button" id="js-accordion-swap-1-5" data-swap-target=".js-accordion-item-1-5"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_inner"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_label"> <span class="accordion_item_heading_title">2018-19 Gerald M.

For years, we’ve fantasized about the world in which we’d write simple, sequential programs, add magic sauce, and suddenly have scalable, parallel executions. We’re not there. We’re not even close. I’ll present a radical, potentially crazy approach to automatic scalability, combining learning, prediction, and speculation.

Over the last decade we have studied Nash equilibria of games, and developed good understanding how to quantify the impact of strategic user behavior on overall performance in many games (including traffic routing as well as online auctions). In this talk we will focus on games where players use a form of learning that helps them adapt to the environment. We ask if the quantitative guarantees obtained for Nash equilibria extend to such out of equilibrium game play, or even more broadly, when the game or the population of players is dynamically changing and where participants have to adapt to the dynamic environment.</span></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1965391 alignleft" src="https://www.cs.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/AvrimBlum-180x245-1.jpeg" alt="" width="180" height="245" /></p> <p><strong>Avrim Blum<br /> </strong><strong>Professor and Chief Academic Officer</strong><br /> <strong>Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago<br /> </strong><strong>Talk Title:<span> </span></strong><span>Algorithmic fairness in Online Decision-making</span><strong><br /> </strong><strong>Date:</strong><span> April 16, 2019<br /> </span><strong>Abstract:<span> </span></strong><span>There is growing concern about fairness in algorithmic decision making: Are algorithmic decisions treating different groups fairly? How can we make them fairer? What do we even mean by fair? In this talk I will discuss some of our work on this topic, focusing on the setting of online decision making. For instance, a classic result states that given a collection of predictors, one can adaptively combine them to perform nearly as well as the best of those predictors in hindsight (achieve “no regret”) without any stochastic assumptions. Can one extend this guarantee so that if the predictors are themselves fair (according to a given definition), then the overall combination is fair as well (according to the same definition)? I will discuss this and other issues.

Nathan Krasnopoler ’13, a computer science major, was severely injured in February 2011 when he was struck by a car while bicycling near the Homewood campus. Although he was wearing a helmet, Nathan suffered irreversible brain damage and passed away from his injuries in August 2011. A student of great promise and a leader in the Johns Hopkins chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Nathan was an active and valued member of the Johns Hopkins community. As a result of the crash and to prevent future injuries and loss of life caused by medically-impaired older drivers, Nathan’s family formed Americans For Older Driver Safety, a non-profit organization with a national focus. Since 2012, AFODS has promoted education of older drivers using research-based best practices. AFODS has created a curriculum for educating older drivers, has worked on public policy changes in Maryland, Missouri, and Kansas, and is currently developing an educational program for health care providers on medical conditions that affect driving and giving providers printed information for their patients on local mobility programs and driving evaluation programs.</p> <p>Gifts to this fund are used to sponsor an annual lecture in Nathan’s memory and to benefit the activities of the ACM. If you would like to honor Nathan’s memory and his dedication to the ACM, you are invited to make a tax-deductible contribution to the fund. Please visit<span> </span><a href="https://secure.jhu.edu/form/eng">engineering.jhu.edu/giving</a><span> </span>and indicate the Nathan Krasnopoler Memorial Fund in the “other designation” text box.
