Comsoc and Computer Joint meeting: Mathematical Artificial Intelligence
Mathematical Artificial Intelligence By Prof. Shui Yu University of Technology Sydney Abstract： Artificial Intelligence is a leading topic in both academia and industry, and explainable AI (XAI) is a critical and hot topic of the field. However, we noticed that XAI is not the core of the business, and we expect deterministic AI models. In this talk, we will report the current landscape of XAI, and then introduce the next stage after XAI – Mathematical AI (MAI). We will mainly present how the mathematical tools, such as differential geometry and group theory, are used build deterministic AI models. At the end of the talk, we will present some cases of the application of MAI. We hope the talk will shed light on the promising field for interested audience. Speaker(s): Dr. Shui Yu Agenda: Friday, July 19, 2024 4:00pm - 5:15pm Pacific Time Seminar with Q&A A meeting link will be sent out to those who registered a few days ahead of the event. Any questions, please contact Dr. Zhensheng Zhang at [email protected] Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/426757

Careers in Technology Summer Series 2024 – Lou Gullo – Reliability Engineering /Technology
Careers in Technology Summer Series 2024 – Lou Gullo – Reliability Engineering /Technology
This session on reliability engineering/technology will focus on reliability engineering as an engineering discipline and profession that is critical for today's complex and critical systems, and reliability technology as a constantly evolving technology in electrical/electronic/mechanical system design and development. This session will also focus on the history of IEEE reliability standards and the latest standards being developed by IEEE to move reliability engineering and technology further. Examples of IEEE reliability standards will be provided. Also, excerpts from my first book, Design for Reliability (DfR), by Raheja and Gullo, will be provided.

A CHIPS Program Office update – Beyond the leading edge
A CHIPS Program Office update – Beyond the leading edge
As the CHIPS program progresses, a number of preliminary funding announcements have been made. These include the well-known leading edge CMOS fab projects, but also smaller investments in more specialized areas such as photonics. These projects are an important part of the CHIPS for America vision but it extends to many other technology areas. This talk will cover the progress to date and some of the CHIPS program goals in these other areas. Speaker(s): Steve Palmer, Agenda: Refreshments will be available from 5:45 PM. 6:00 PM - Introductions and announcements 6:10 PM - Talk followed by Q&A Bldg: Westover Library, 1644 North McKinley Road, Suite 3, Arlington, Virginia, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/426131

New Space Economy: The Rise of Small Satellites
New Space Economy: The Rise of Small Satellites
TALK ABSTRACT: Recent technological advances enabled low cost small satellite development and launch services which gave rise to the new space economy. Democratizing access to space feeds innovation and bolsters economic development taking the market away from a few large corporations and allowing smaller businesses to compete and thrive. In this talk, the process of creating a space corporation in Maine with examples of space based applications and research and development projects will be presented. Audience will learn more about opportunities and pitfalls in this new era.

Westinghouse Nuclear – Churchill Innovation Center
Westinghouse Nuclear – Churchill Innovation Center
Contextualizing unique experience in the nuclear power industry to understand the interrelationship between material mechanical behavior, fracture mechanics, and aging/embrittlement. Presentation to discuss material specifications for component replacement and new plants, failure analysis, materials testing, fracture mechanics, and material aging evaluations for upgrades, repairs and license renewal for nuclear power plants. Areas of specific focus include analysis of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) integrity, RPV internals aging, and other reactor coolant system materials. Other areas of targeted discussion include materials reliability programs for utilities, the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group Materials Committee, and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Focused discussion of the master curve method (direct fracture toughness) for the benefit of the utilities operating pressurized water reactors, improved operation and enabling operation beyond 80 years.
