Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: A survey of the mixing times of the Proximal Sampler algorithm
HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United StatesAndre Wibisono, Yale University Abstract: Sampling is a fundamental algorithmic task with many connections to optimization. In this talk, we survey a recent algorithm for sampling known as the Proximal Sampler, which can be seen as a proximal discretization of the continuous-time Langevin dynamics, and achieves the current state-of-the-art iteration complexity for sampling in discrete […]

ICLR 2026 Workshop: Principled Design for Trustworthy AI – Interpretability, Robustness, and Safety across Modalities
ICLR 2026 Riocentro Convention and Event Center, Rio de Janiero, BrazilModern AI systems, particularly large language models, vision-language models, and deep vision networks, are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and legal decisions. Yet, their lack of transparency, fragility to distributional shifts between train/test environments, and representation misalignment in emerging tasks and data/feature modalities raise serious concerns about their trustworthiness. This […]

TILOS-SDSU Seminar: A Modular AgenticAI Architecture for Commercially Scalable and Compliant Robotics
TBASahil Rajesh Dhayalkar, Brain Corporation Abstract: Autonomous navigation in dynamic environments faces immense challenges. Traditional rigid, rules-based systems often fail due to a lack of semantic understanding needed to adapt to continuous environmental shifts. Conversely, emerging end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models introduce a critical "black box" dilemma; they inherently lack the explicit application context, deterministic guardrails, […]

Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: Fantastic Pretraining Optimizers and Where to Find Them
HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United StatesTengyu Ma, Stanford Abstract: AdamW has long been the dominant optimizer in language model pretraining, despite numerous claims that alternative optimizers offer 1.4 to 2x speedup. We posit that two methodological shortcomings have obscured fair comparisons and hindered practical adoption: (i) unequal hyperparameter tuning and (ii) limited or misleading evaluation setups. To address these two […]

CVPR 2026 Workshop: Trustworthy, Robust, Uncertainty-Aware, and Explainable Visual Intelligence and Beyond (TRUE-V)
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Denver, CO, United StatesContemporary vision models and vision–language models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains, yet remain opaque, fragile, and difficult to align across tasks and modalities. This workshop aim to foster dialogue on the urgent need for transparent, reliable, and safe computer vision systems, especially in critical domains such as healthcare, transportation, and legal decision making. It brings together […]
