On Wednesday, September 2, the Penn Materials Science and Engineering MSE Society will host its annual Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Social from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the Quain Courtyard. Join us […]
Read MoreAbstract: Performance of control systems depend on the nature of available measurements. Perception of edges, keypoints, landmarks and other natural semantic features make certain coarse measurements available to control systems operating in […]
In this talk I will tell you how scaling has been the engine of progress in AI for the past five years. In the first scaling paradigm, our field scaled large […]
This is an in-person event only and is not open to the public. Event Registration and Penncards are required. A link to register for the event will be sent via […]
Abstract: Biology is characterized by a diversity of phenotypes and functions that outpace the limited molecular diversity encoded in genomes. How this is achieved is a fundamental and enduring mystery […]
This seminar will start at 3:30 PM instead of 3:00. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT When designing […]
