Nonlinear Embedding Methods in Modern Data Visualization: Theory & Practice
Learning and representing low-dimensional structures from noisy and possibly high-dimensional data is an indispensable component of modern data science. Recently, a special class of nonlinear embedding methods has become particularly influential, most notably, the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) and the uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP). Despite their empirical success in many research fields, these algorithms are oftentimes subject to criticisms such as lack of theoretical understanding, unclear interpretations, sensitivity to tuning parameters, etc. This talk will present a novel theoretical framework for understanding and explaining the exceptional performance of t-SNE and other related algorithms for visualizing high-dimensional clustered data. The results uncover the intrinsic mechanism, the large-sample limits, and several fundamental principles behind the algorithms; they also have practical implications to improve the current nonlinear embedding methods in real-world applications, such as enabling efficient selection of tuning parameters, improving normativity of analytic praxis, and avoiding common interpretive pitfalls. Recognizing current limitations, it will also introduce some new approaches and ideas that may lead to more accountable and reliable dimension reduction and data visualization. Join our talk to dive into data and explore the cutting-edge techniques of dimension reduction and data visualization, along with their practical applications.

Identity, Privacy, and Tracking on Communication Networks
Identity, Privacy, and Tracking on Communication Networks “Who are you?” “Can I prove who I am?” “Can I guess who you are?” “Can I verify you are who you say you are?” “Can I figure out what you are doing?” “Can I figure out where you are?” “Can I prevent you from figuring out who I am?” “Can I prevent you from figuring out what I have been up to?” … On the global communication networks where we often conduct business without meeting face-to-face, these are questions often posed and faced by consumers, businesses, marketers, governments, institutions, and the general public alike, with intentions good and bad. This talk goes over how the concepts of “identity,” “privacy,” “tracking,” and their attendant issues are treated in modern communication networks, including the wireless networks and the Internet. Time permitting, this talk may also venture into how these concepts and their handling may evolve in the communication networks of the future, in 6G and beyond. Speaker(s): Baw Chng, Agenda: WEBINAR: 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. The Zoom Webinar link and password will be forwarded to all registered participants after Noon on the day of the meeting.

Local IEEE meeting – Wicked Problems: How To Engineer A Better World
Book Talk by Guru Madhavan, National Academy of Engineering Our world is filled with pernicious problems. How, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives? How should cities process mountains of waste without polluting the environment? Challenges that tangle personal, public, and planetary aspects―often occurring in health care, infrastructure, business, and policy―are known as wicked problems, and they are not going away anytime soon. In linked chapters focusing on key facets of systems engineering―efficiency, vagueness, vulnerability, safety, maintenance, and resilience―engineer Guru Madhavan illuminates how wicked problems have emerged throughout history and how best to address them in the future. He examines best-known tragedies and lesser-known tales, from the efficient design of battleships to a volcano eruption that curtailed global commerce, and how maintenance of our sanitation systems constitutes tikkun olam, or repair of our world. Braided throughout is the uplifting tale of Edwin Link, an unsung hero who revolutionized aviation with his flight trainer. In Link’s story, Madhavan uncovers a model mindset to engage with wickedness. An homage to society’s innovators and maintainers, (https://www.amazon.com/Wicked-Problems-Engineer-Better-World/dp/0393651460/ref=sr_1_1)offers a refreshing vision for readers of all backgrounds to build a better future and demonstrates how engineering is a cultural choice―one that requires us to restlessly find ways to transform society, but perhaps more critically, to care for the creations that already exist.

He is a proud member of the Ohio Cyber Reservist. Ken is a sought-after speaker around the country, and is author of the acclaimed book, RELAX: A Guide to True Cyber Security. Ken's current campaign is to "Humanize Security," a fundamental change toward a more holistic approach to cyber resilience and recovery. Ken is changing the narrative to put people first - both at the center of cyber-attacks AND recovery. By treating victims of cyber-attacks with dignity and respect, rather than shaming them for being attacked or hacked, people are more empowered and proactive, rather than fearful and reactive. By Humanizing Security in this way, and making it usable security, individuals, businesses, and organizations are able to build stronger, more effective defenses against cyber-attacks, hacks, and breaches. Currently focused on the manufacturing sector, Ken has also worked in the pharmaceutical, legal, medical, nonprofit, and government fields. His MBA in Operations Management enables him to understand work/process flow, while allowing him to develop strategies for an organization’s future.
