TILOS-SDSU Seminar: 95 Percent: Bridging the Gap Between Prototype and Product

Lamden Hall 341 (SDSU) and Virtual San Diego

Jeremy Schwartz, Zoox Abstract: When transitioning from the academic world to the professional world of engineering, one of the most common pitfalls is failing to understand the difference between a compelling prototype and a successful product. This talk will focus on that distinction. We will discuss the differences between them, and the work required to […]

Optimization for AI and ML Seminar: Training Neural Networks at Any Scale

HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla

Volkan Cevher, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Abstract: At the heart of deep learning’s transformative impact lies the concept of scale--encompassing both data and computational resources, as well as their interaction with neural network architectures. Scale, however, presents critical challenges, such as increased instability during training and prohibitively expensive model-specific tuning. Given the substantial resources […]
