SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee with an Expert - ML in Embedded Systems
DESCRIPTION:Synchoros VLSI Design Style: A Solution for Post Moore Era  \nSpeaker: Ahmed Hemani \nOn September 16th\, Prof. Ahmed Hemani will give a webinar about the topic of using lego as inspiration for hardware centric designs for ML and high-performance embedded systems that are power/battery limited. \nAbstract: In post Moore era\, we will need to efficiently create fully customized complex machines that exploits all available technology options to go beyond what Moore’s law has been enabling us with. This would include use of memristor based computation in memory\, plasmonics\, 3D DRAM vauts combined with conventional CMOS. Conventional standard cell based design flows will not suffice to deal with such diversity and complexity. We propose a new design style called synchoros VLSI design style to replace standard cells based VLSI design flows. Synchoricity\, derived from the Greek word choros for space is the spatial analog of synchronicity. In synchronicity\, we discretize time to enable temporal composition by abutment. In synchoricity\, we discretize space to enable spatial composition by abutment. Synchoros VLSI design style has been used to design Lego like bricks called SiLago that replaces conventional standard cells as the atomic building blocks. SiLago blocks compose by abutment to create valid ready-to-manufacture designs without the end-user having to do logic and physical synthesis. We show\, how synchoros SiLago based platform can automate custom hybrid designs to cope with both diversity of technologies and also deal with extreme complexity. \nBio: Ahmed Hemani is Professor in Electronic Systems Design at School of ICT\, KTH\, Kista\, Sweden.  His current areas of research interests are massively parallel architectures and design methods and their applications to scientific computing and autonomous embedded systems inspired by brain. In past he has contributed to high-level synthesis – his doctoral thesis was the basis for the first high-level synthesis product introduced by Cadence called visual architect.  He has also pioneered the Networks-on-chip concept and has contributed to clocking and low power architectures and design methods.  He has extensively worked in industry including National Semiconductors\, ABB\, Ericsson\, Philips Semiconductors\, Newlogic. He has also been part of three start-ups. \n  \nThis event will be held via Zoom. Register for the event below. A link to the meeting room will be sent out to attendees before the event starts.

SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee with an Expert - Hardware Acceleration for Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhonghai Lu \nOn September 23\, Prof. Zhonghai Lu will give a webinar about hardware acceleration for deep learning. \nDeep learning has become the engine for a new wave of artificial intelligence which exerts a profound impact on computer science and engineering.  However\, deep learning is not only about smart algorithms and big data. It is also about computer hardware. This talk reviews the milestones in the development of deep learning and shows the huge potential of accelerating deep learning algorithms in specialized hardware fabric. \nThis event will be held via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Virtual Coffee with an Expert -  Human-centered AI: challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iolanda Leite \nOn 30th September Associate Professor Iolanda Leite will have a talk for the ICES network. \nAs AI systems become ubiquitous in people’s lives\, a long-standing barrier is a need for these systems to properly respond and adapt to people and to the complex social dynamics of different environments. In this talk\, I will present current research on using AI to enable robots with the social capabilities that enable them to engage with people in real-world environments. I will also discuss limitations and opportunities of the state of the art of AI\, arguing that an improved understanding of how these systems perceive\, reason and act depending on their surrounding social context can lead to more natural and efficient interactions with people. \nIolanda Leite is an Associate Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH. She holds a PhD in Information Systems and Computer Engineering from IST\, University of Lisbon. Prior to joining KTH\, she had postdoctoral appointments at Yale University and at Disney Research. Iolanda’s research interests are in the areas of artificial intelligence and human-robot interaction. Her goal is to develop social robots that can perceive\, learn from and respond appropriately to people in real-world situations. She is PI of a Starting Grant from the Swedish Research Council (2018-2021)\, the recipient of a globally competitive Early Career Fellowship awarded by the Jacobs Foundation\, and was recently awarded one of the individual grants by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research’s (SSF) Future Research Leaders program (2020-2025). She is the co-editor in chief of AI Matters\, the newsletter of the ACM Special Interest Group in Artificial Intelligence (SIGAI). \n  \nJoin via Zoom at 15:00!  \nLink: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66974429957
