SUMMARY:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work \nPanelists include Elana Zeide (PULSE Fellow in Artificial Intelligence\, Law & Policy\, UCLA)\, Saurabh Sanghvi (Associate Partner\, McKinsey & Company)\, and Scott Mauvais (Director of AI & Global Partnerships\, Microsoft Philanthropies). Moderated by Brandie Nonnecke\, CITRIS Policy Lab Director. \nSummary:\nWhile a strong body of research has emerged on the ways emerging technologies\, especially artificial intelligence (AI)\, will disrupt private sector work\, less attention has been given to understanding these effects on public sector work and workers. Yet these technologies are increasingly being deployed in the public sector to address growing workload demands\, shortage of workers\, and budget constraints. \nIn collaboration with Microsoft\, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute will host a CITRIS Research Exchange panel to explore the effects of emerging technologies\, like machine learning-powered decision systems and robotic process automation\, within three public service sectors: education\, social services\, and law enforcement. Panelists will explore priority strategies to better ensure implementation of emerging technologies not only contribute to greater efficiency and effectiveness\, but also equity. The CITRIS Policy Lab will also release its white paper on the effects of emerging technologies on public sector work and priority technology and policy recommendations. \nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition \nSpeaker: Sarah Kurtz\, Professor\, School of Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) Sciences\, UC Merced \nBio: Sarah Kurtz obtained her Ph.D. in 1985 from Harvard University and now works at the University of California Merced after more than 30 years working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, in Golden\, CO. She is known for her contributions to developing multijunction\, GaInP/GaAs solar cells\, supporting the Concentrator Photovoltaic (PV) industry\, and leading efforts on PV performance and reliability. Her work has been recognized with a jointly received Dan David Prize in 2007\, the Cherry Award in 2012\, C3E Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016\, and induction into the National Academy of Engineering in 2020. At the University of California Merced\, she is working both to help the university grow and to support the Energy Transition through a variety of studies\, including a current effort on long-duration storage. \nAbstract: Photovoltaic solar electricity has grown much faster than was expected. Continuation of the historical growth rate would enable solar to generate as much electricity as the entire world uses by ~ 2030. California\, in particular\, has taken a leading role; 19% of electricity generated in 2018 in the state of California was from solar energy. However\, growth of solar is now slowing\, both worldwide and in California. As the state of California and many others around the world seek to move away from fossil fuels to a zero-carbon energy system\, it will be critical to maintain the momentum. Positive feedback has been helpful in the growth of solar so far. This talk will discuss how positive feedback loops can help accelerate the energy transition by taking a balanced approach. The talk will also discuss how choices we make in designing our new energy system can reduce or increase the size of the problem. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown \nSpeaker: Rachel Kuperman\, Founder & CEO\, Eysz Lab \nBio: Rachel Kuperman\, MD is the CEO and co-founder of Eysz\, an early stage startup developing a real-time\, machine-learning based remote monitoring solution to reliably detect seizures associated with loss of consciousness. Rachel co-founded Eysz to address the significant unmet need for identifying seizures outside of the hospital. The company spun out of her research showing that eye movement analysis can be used to detect seizures. The company has been recognized by the Epilepsy Foundation\, IEEE/NIH\, and most recently by the International Society for Optics and Photonics. Prior to co-founding Eysz\, Rachel ran the Pediatric Epilepsy Program and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for 10 years. She attended UCSF Medical School\, completed Child Neurology Fellowship at Columbia\, and then then completed at Epilepsy Fellowship at UCSF. \nAbstract: Neuroscience has made tremendous leaps and bounds in the last three decades. Sadly\, the outcomes for people with epilepsy have not changed significantly with costs more than tripling to 28 billion dollars per year. Why the big divide between research and clinical care? We will explore the barriers to translation and adoption of new technologies in the clinic. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Blockchain for the Public Good Panel
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Blockchain for the Public Good Panel \nSpeaker(s): Panelists include Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director\, Hyperledger)\, Ben Bartlett (Partner\, Tackett Bartlett LLP)\, and Michele Benedetto Neitz (Professor of Law\, Golden Gate University School of Law). Moderated by Camille Crittenden\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute. \nAbstract: Blockchain technology has gained notoriety over the past decade as a platform for cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin\, which has been used for illicit exchange of weapons and drugs\, as well as paying off hackers whose ransomware holds computer systems hostage. At the same time\, researchers and developers have been exploring the use of blockchain and the broader domain of distributed ledger technology for more beneficial applications\, such as in healthcare\, education\, property title\, and public finance. \nCalifornia lawmakers commissioned a task force in 2019 to study the potential of blockchain for public sector applications by creating the Blockchain Working Group. The 20-member group\, including those speaking today\, comprised experts in computer science\, cybersecurity\, information technology\, law\, and policy. We were charged with drafting a working definition of blockchain\, providing advice to State offices and agencies considering blockchain platforms\, and offering guidance to policymakers to foster an open and equitable regulatory environment for the technology in California. \nThis talk will draw on the panelists’ expertise in the fundamental computer science and security concerns of blockchain\, its applications for public finance\, and ethical considerations of its development. We will also discuss the experience of working with a broad group of stakeholders to create a roadmap for policymakers\, CIOs\, and other leaders considering blockchain solutions for public sector applications. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values with Brian Christian
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values \nSPEAKER: Brian Christian\, author and visiting scholar at UC Berkeley \nABSTRACT: With the incredible growth of machine learning (ML) over recent years has come an increasing concern about whether ML systems’ objectives truly capture their human designers’ intent: the so-called “alignment problem.” Over the last five years\, these questions of both ethics and safety have moved from the margins of the field to become arguably its most central concerns. The result is something of a movement: a vibrant\, multifaceted\, interdisciplinary effort to address the alignment problem head-on\, which is producing some of the most exciting research happening today. Brian Christian\, visiting scholar at CITRIS and author of the acclaimed bestsellers “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By\,” will survey this landscape of recent progress and the frontier of open questions that remain. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Brian Christian is the author of the acclaimed bestsellers\, “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By” (with Tom Griffiths)\, which have been translated into nineteen languages.

SUMMARY:Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis \nSPEAKER: Cristina Davis\, Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, UC Davis \nABSTRACT: The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is still truly unknown due to the unavailability of SARS-CoV-2 tests. The development of new types of diagnostics will greatly increase the global testing capacity. Additionally\, there are no methods available to track an individual’s health during COVID-19 infections outside of a clinical setting that could be predictive of prognosis\, such warning if mild cases are turning severe and require clinical intervention. \nOur research team has been developing rapid\, non-invasive diagnostic platforms for pulmonary viral infections through analysis of a person’s exhaled breath. Exhaled breath contains thousands of metabolites that not only provide diagnostic capabilities but also can be used to assess pulmonary health\, tracking disease progression and severity with samples that can be collected at home. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Dr. Davis is the Warren & Leta Geidt Endowed Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC Davis.

SUMMARY:The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death\, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child with Morgan Ames
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death\, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child \nSPEAKER: Morgan Ames\, Assistant Adjunct Professor\, Berkeley School of Information\, and Associate Director of Research\, Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society\, UC Berkeley \nABSTRACT: Ames will discuss her book\, “The Charisma Machine\,” named Best Information Science Book of 2020\, to explore the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explain why—despite its failures—the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt.” Announced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte\, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South. Even as the project fell short in many ways\, it remained charismatic to many who were enchanted by its claims of a global transformation. Drawing on archival research and an ethnographic study of a model OLPC project\, Ames offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Morgan G. Ames researches the ideological origins of inequality in the technology world\, with a focus on utopianism\, childhood\, and learning. The questions that drive her current projects concern the ways in which young people construct their identities with computers\, and how computers (and the technology design practices that produced them) shape the identities they construct. Morgan is an assistant adjunct professor in the Berkeley School of Information\, where she teaches in Data Science and administers the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in affiliation with the Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine\, and Society. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:Toward Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems in the Anthropocene with Sam Markolf
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Toward Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems in the Anthropocene with Sam Markolf \nSPEAKER: Sam Markolf\, Assistant Professor\, UC Merced \nRegister to attend > \nABSTRACT: The Anthropocene\, informally referred to as the ‘Age of Humans’\, is not only characterized by humankind’s outsized influence on ecological and planetary systems\, but also pervasive and accelerating climatic\, technological\, social\, economic\, and institutional change that appears to be positioned as critical drivers of our future infrastructure and urban systems. This talk will discuss an evolving portfolio of work that outlines and analyzes some of the key issues\, implications\, and dynamics between infrastructure systems and emergent properties of the Anthropocene. Topics of focus include climate change and climate nonstationarity\, interdependencies between infrastructure systems\, complex interconnections between infrastructure and broader social-ecological systems\, and opportunities/challenges for applying artificial intelligence in this context. Ultimately\, it is posited that these (and other) emergent properties of the Anthropocene warrant consideration in the design\, implementation\, and management of infrastructure systems if broader sustainability and resilience objectives are to be met. \nBIO: Samuel Markolf is an assistant professor within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Merced\, where his research broadly focuses on applying systems-thinking to sustainability and resilience challenges facing cities and infrastructure systems. Prior to joining UC Merced\, he was an Assistant Research Professor at Arizona State University and a Research Fellow within the NSF-sponsored Urban Resilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN). Sam earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin\, Masters in Civil & Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a joint-Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering and Engineering & Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Gerald Friedland on Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Gerald Friedland. \nTALK TITLE: “A Measurements-Based Approach to Machine Learning” \nSPEAKER: Gerald Friedland\, Adjunct Assistant Professor\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to attend >  \n \nBIO: Gerald Friedland is teaching as adjunct faculty at the EECS and works on Machine Learning within CITRIS Health. He is also the founder and CTO of Brainome\, Inc. Before that\, he was a principal data scientist with Lawrence Livermore National Lab after being with the International Computer Science Institute for over 10 years. His work focuses on machine learning and multimedia signal processing. He was the lead figure behind the Multimedia Commons initiative\, a collection of 100M images and 1M videos for research and has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles in conferences\, journals\, and books. Friedland received his doctorate (summa cum laude) and master’s degree in computer science from Freie Universitaet Berlin\, Germany\, in 2002 and 2006\, respectively. \nABSTRACT: Every field of science and engineering starts with measurements. When working on machine learning problems\, modern data science often relies more on computation (let’s throw more GPUs at the problem) and guesswork (let’s see if we can modify Alexnet for our specific problem) than on any kind of measurements. In this talk\, I will discuss an approach to supervised machine learning that is rooted in information-theoretic measurements. I will explain how this approach is especially interesting for high dimensional problems that\, without measurements\, suffer from “the curse of dimensionality”. I will explain the fundamentals of how measurements-based machine learning works\, and also explore how the approach can be applied to solve real-world problems in CITRIS and beyond. \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Stavros G. Vougioukas on Agriculture and AI
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Stavros G. Vougioukas. \nTALK TITLE: “Human-robot Collaboration for Fruit Harvesting” \nSPEAKER: Stavros G. Vougioukas\, Professor\, Biological and Agricultural Engineering\, UC Davis  \nRegister to attend >  \n \nBIO: Stavros Vougioukas has a Ph.D. degree from the Electrical\, Computers\, and Systems Engineering Department\, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, Troy\, NY. He is a Professor in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering\, the University of California at Davis. His research focuses on robotics and automation for agriculture\, with emphasis on robot-aided and autonomous harvesting. \nABSTRACT: Manual harvesting of fresh-market fruits is costly and labor-intensive. This presentation will discuss two different robotic harvest-aid systems and report results from their deployments during commercial harvesting. The first system comprises two mobile robots that reduce workers’ non-productive walking times by carrying full and empty trays in the field. The second system is a robotic orchard platform that was developed to assist in tree fruit harvesting. The platform uses advanced sensing to estimate the fruit load on the trees and the workers’ harvesting speeds\, and controls platform speed and picker elevations to load-balance the amount of fruit picked by each worker and maximize the system’s harvesting speed. \nCITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Shijia Pan on Cyber-Physical Systems
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: “Sense for Less: Physical Informed Cyber-Physical Systems Adaptation for Vibration-Based Occupant Monitoring“ \nSPEAKER: Shijia Pan\, Assistant Professor\, Computer Science\, and Engineering\, UC Merced \nRegister to attend >  \n \nBIO: Dr. Shijia Pan is an Assistant Professor at the University of California Merced. She received her bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Science and Technology of China and her Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research interests include cyber-physical systems\, Internet-of-Things (IoT)\, and ubiquitous computing. She worked in multiple disciplines and focused on indoor human information acquisition through ambient sensing. She received Rising Stars in EECS\, Nick G. Vlahakis Graduate Fellowship\, Google Anita Borg Scholarship\, Best Paper Awards (IoTDI\, ASME SHM/NDE\, HASCA)\, Best Poster Awards (SenSys\, IPSN)\, Best Demo Award (Ubicomp\, BuildSys)\, Best Presentation Award (SenSys Doctoral Colloquium)\, and Audience Choice Award (BuildSys) from ACM/IEEE conferences.\n \nABSTRACT: The number of everyday smart devices is projected to grow to billions in the coming decade\, which enables various smart building applications. These applications\, especially in-home long-term occupant monitoring\, rely on emerging device-free human sensing techniques. From the system perspective\, we introduce an alternative non-intrusive sensing modality through ambient structural vibration to indirectly infer fine-grained occupant information. However\, due to the complexity of the physical world\, sensing data distributions face severe domain variances. Therefore\, from the data perspective\, accurate information learning through pure data-driven approaches requires a large amount of labeled data\, which is costly and difficult to obtain in practice. We address these challenges by combining physical and data-driven knowledge in learning. \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Shara Tibken on Digital Redlining
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Shara Tibken  \nTALK TITLE: “Digital Redlining: The Broadband Gap’s Dirty Secret” \nSPEAKER: Shara Tibken\, Managing Editor\, CNET News \nRegister to attend > \n \nBIO: Shara Tibken is managing editor at CNET News in San Francisco. In her role\, she oversees a team of reporters\, as well as covers the mobile device industry and the digital divide. Before joining CNET\, Shara wrote about technology and the stock market for Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal in New York. She grew up on a farm in rural Iowa and graduated from Simpson College in Indianola\, Iowa\, in 2007. The poor internet connectivity in her hometown inspired Shara’s interest in the broadband gap.\n \nABSTRACT: Communities that couldn’t get mortgage loans in the 1940s are the same areas without fast home internet service today. Big broadband providers\, when deciding where to invest the money to upgrade their networks\, often focus on wealthier parts of cities and shun low-income communities. Fiber connections are expensive\, and ISPs are hesitant to expand unless they expect a return on their investment. As a result\, poorer communities often have no internet or are stuck with slow\, legacy networks that can’t meet today’s demands — even though they usually pay as much as their wealthier neighbors who have gigabit fiber connections.\n \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Margaret Burnett on Inclusive Design
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Margaret Burnett  \nTALK TITLE: “Doing Inclusive Design: From GenderMag to InclusiveMag” \nSPEAKER: Margaret Burnett\, Professor School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Oregon State University  \nRegister to attend > \n \nBIO: Margaret Burnett is a Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University. She began her career in the industry\, where she was the first woman software developer ever hired at Procter & Gamble Ivorydale. A few degrees later\, she joined academia. She co-founded the area of end-user software engineering\, which aims to enable computer users not trained in programming to improve their own software\, and co-leads the team that created GenderMag (gendermag.org)\, a software inspection process that uncovers user-facing gender biases in technology environments. Together with her collaborators and students\, she has contributed some of the seminal work in both of those areas\, and also in explaining AI to ordinary end users. Burnett is an ACM Fellow\, a member of the ACM CHI Academy\, and an emeritus Chair of the NCWIT Academic Alliance. \nABSTRACT: How can technology professionals assess whether their technology supports diverse users? And if they find problems\, how can they fix them? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal\, what is also needed is a systematic method to assess technology’s support for diverse populations. To fill this gap\, we developed GenderMag\, a method for finding and fixing “gender inclusivity bugs” — gender biases in technology interfaces and workflows. We then introduced InclusiveMag\, which can be used to generate systematic inclusiveness methods for other dimensions of diversity. In this talk\, we explain how GenderMag works\, present the latest GenderMag results\, and then introduce InclusiveMag and our early experiences with it. We conclude with actionable steps for industry and university professionals. \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Carolynn Patten on Digital Phenotypes of Normal and Pathological Human Gait
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Carolynn Patten  \nTALK TITLE: Digital Phenotypes of Normal and Pathological Human Gait \nSPEAKER: Dr. Carolynn Patten\, Director and Professor\, Biomechanics\, Rehabilitation\, and Integrative Neuroscience\, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation\, UC Davis \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Dr. Patten is a neuroscientist and physical therapist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of motor dysfunction associated with aging and adult neuropathologies\, such as stroke. She directs the UC Davis Biomechanics\, Rehabilitation\, and Integrative Neuroscience (BRaIN) Lab and Co-Directs the UC Davis Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine.\nDr. Patten’s research focuses on understanding the neural basis of human movement\, investigating human motor control and adaptation from a perspective of neuromechanics. Using concurrent behavioral and neurophysiological methods\, her laboratory has developed techniques sensitive to motor impairment. Current work to be discussed in this CITRIS seminar uses gait as an assay of brain health to develop a predictive biomarker of subclinical/emerging pathology.\nDr. Patten’s research is supported by the NIH (NIBIB\, NIA\, NINDS)\, NSF\, Dept. of Veterans Affairs (Rehabilitation R&D)\, and Healthy Aging in a Digital World\, a UC Davis Big Idea. \nABSTRACT: Nearly half the U.S. population (~47%) is affected by at least one chronic condition affecting health\, independent mobility\, and quality of life. Early detection and management of these conditions would improve quality of life and forestall disabling sequelae. However\, there is a need for efficient screening tools to enable the detection of emerging and sub-clinical pathologies among individuals in our rapidly aging population.\nOne of the most common metrics used to quantify mobility is self-selected walking speed. Robust associations with overall physical functioning and systemic health have inspired reference to walking speed as the “sixth vital sign.” While its relevance has been established and it is straightforward to measure\, gait speed is influenced by myriad factors\, thus differences and simple changes in gait speed offer only a limited scope of information regarding either the source of mobility limitations or their potential for remediation.\nRecent work from our lab has led to the development of the Assessment of Bilateral Locomotor Efficacy (ABLE) an instrument that assesses key functions of human bipedal locomotion. Unlike walking speed\, the ABLE reveals non-overlapping clusters of performance\, indicating its capacity to discriminate between critical levels of physical functioning. Critically\, the ABLE detects mobility impairment in ostensibly healthy adults with no observable gait impairment and normal walking speed. Verified with their health data\, this observation reveals the ABLE’s potential to detect sub-clinical\, or emerging\, gait pathology in so-called normal\, healthy individuals. Motivated by our goal of making the ABLE accessible to both clinical and community settings\, our current work centers around the use of tools to acquire valid gait data with portable technologies\, independent from an instrumented research lab\, and efficient methods to analyze high-dimensional data sets. Used as a screening procedure\, the ABLE could provide early detection of medical needs\, facilitate preventative care\, and inform management of chronic health conditions.\n \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Ahmed Sabbir Arif on Human Computer Interaction
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Dr. Ahmed Sabbir Arif  \nTALK TITLE: “What if Computers Could Read Our Lips? Silent Speech as an Active Mode of Interaction with Computer Systems” \nSPEAKER: Dr. Ahmed Sabbir Arif\, Assistant Professor Computer Science and Engineering\, UC Merced \nRegister to attend > \n \nBIO: Dr. Ahmed Sabbir Arif leads the Human-Computer Interaction Group at the University of California\, Merced. His research makes computer systems accessible to a wider range of users by developing intuitive and effective input and interaction techniques. A major thread of his work focuses on smarter solutions for text entry. His other interests include mobile interaction\, accessibility\, and applied machine learning. He has received a Hellman Fellowship\, three Michael A. J. Sweeney Awards\, and a CHISIG Gitte Lindgaard Award for his research activities. Before joining UC Merced\, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ryerson University and an NSERC ENGAGE Fellow at York University. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from York University. He also holds an M.Sc. from Lakehead University and a B.Sc. from Trent University\, both in Computer Science. \nABSTRACT: Silent speech that converts lip movements into text can mitigate many challenges of speech and traditional input methods. Yet\, existing silent speech recognition models are error-prone or use impractical extremal devices or implants. In this talk\, I will present the findings of three projects involving silent speech input. First\, a social study established silent speech as an acceptable and desired mode of interaction. Second\, two empirical studies revealed that users are more tolerant of errors in silent speech and tend to speak slowly when interacting with it. Third\, a new end-to-end deep neural network that can automatically segment lip sequence videos and classify them into text. In an evaluation\, the model reduced the word error rate by 57% compared to the state-of-the-arts without compromising the overall computation time. \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Laurel Larsen on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Laurel Larsen  \nTALK TITLE: “The drought cascade: Linking changes in climate extremes to changes in watershed function” \nSPEAKER: Laurel Larsen\, Associate Professor and Delta Lead Scientist\, UC Berkeley and Delta Stewardship Council \nRegister to attend > \n \nBio: I grew up in Florida\, where I spent my childhood playing outdoors\, mostly around water\, reading\, and solving puzzles. I never grew out of those things\, and now they constitute a major part of my job. The puzzles that motivate me are: What makes landscapes evolve distinct patterns? How can we restore or manage landscapes to optimize particular functions? How do physical-biological interactions control large-scale geomorphology and biogeochemical processing? Water flows as a theme through this research as one of the components of the environment most critical to life and\, indeed\, perhaps the single most dominant factor sculpting the geography of Earth’s natural and human landscapes. Water is also one of the features of the physical environment most sensitive to global climate change and human management. In my research\, I try to tease apart the direct and indirect ways in which hydrologic changes impact ecosystems\, and\, conversely\, how those ecological changes impact hydrology. It is only through a firm understanding of these dynamic interactions that we can predict future change in the hydrological and ecological components of landscapes. \nOne of the things I love about this area of research is that it requires a variety of tools and creativity in the design of new experiments and methods. A common approach is to study small-scale processes in the field and laboratory and then extrapolate that information to larger spatial scales and longer timescales using numerical simulations. I’ve used that approach in the Everglades to study the formation and degradation of a strikingly patterned landscape that is of prime interest in restoration activities. There\, I needed to perform experiments in the field and laboratory flumes to understand how organic sediment moved through canopies of marsh vegetation\, monitor surface water\, and groundwater biogeochemistry to understand how evapotranspiration affected nutrient availability\, and plant growth and develop new optical techniques for fingerprinting organic particles. The findings of this field and laboratory research led to the development of a simulation model that I used to test different hypotheses of landscape evolution. Now I am using similar techniques to evaluate whether radical new practices for restoring streams are sustainable (field site in Lancaster\, PA)\, understand how hydrologic connectivity affects water quality and vegetation community patterning in the Brazilian Pantanal\, and examine interactions between vegetation\, biofilms\, and land building processes in coastal marshes and river deltas.\nAlthough fieldwork and laboratory work are fun and create great stories (some of which I put into my children’s book about the Everglades!)\, they are also very expensive\, time-consuming\, and difficult. One thing I would like to accomplish in my career is to find new ways to generalize across geographically and physically diverse landscapes. Is there a finite set of processes—albeit in different combinations—controlling these diverse environments\, and if so\, how do we detect what those processes are with a minimum set of data and then use our knowledge of them to predict the future? This ability would be particularly useful for solving water resource problems in ungauged basins in the developing world. To that end\, I have an ongoing fascination with emerging quantitative analysis tools\, particularly in information theory and medicine. \nABSTRACT: Climate models project that changes in patterns of temperature and precipitation delivery will be ubiquitous\, but how those changes cascade through watersheds is less certain. Indeed\, the widespread disconnect between changes in extreme precipitation and extreme streamflow contrasts with model projections and underlies what has been referred to as a “grand challenge” of hydrology. Using CHOSEN (Comprehensive Hydrologic Observatory Sensor Network)\, we conducted a data-driven analysis of multidimensional hydrologic and climatic extremes. We found that drought and warming likely explain many of the observed changes in streamflow extreme but that wetter extremes arise from more complex phenomena. The talk concludes with a summary of some of the remaining “grand challenges” for understanding drought’s cascading effects on California’s ecosystems. \nABOUT THE SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange – Holly Jimison on Health Interventions
DESCRIPTION:A CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with speaker Holly Jimison \nTalk title: “Informatics Advances for Personalized Health Interventions” \nSpeaker: Director\, Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care\, Northeastern University; Visiting Professor\, UC Davis \nRegister to Attend >  \n \nSpeaker bio: Holly B. Jimison is the Director of the Consortium on Technology for Proactive Care at Northeastern University and on the faculty in both the College of Computer & Information Science and the College of Health Sciences. She leads a multidisciplinary\, multi-institutional effort to facilitate research in the area of home monitoring of health behaviors\, including helping researchers address the challenges of big data related to large amounts of complex and noisy streaming data from multiple sources used to infer clinically relevant health behaviors. Her current research projects are focused on technology approaches to support healthy aging. Dr. Jimison is also currently serving as Visiting Professor at UC Davis working on the Healthy Aging in a Digital World Initiative. \nAbstract: Health behaviors account for the most significant influence on overall health outcomes and healthcare costs\, far outpacing genetic effects or the influence of access to medical care. As we move from an era of “reactive” medicine that is hospital and clinic-based toward more holistic and proactive care focused on the management of chronic conditions and prevention\, informatics advances are needed to model patient state in real-time to deliver tailored just-in-time health interventions to the home. In this presentation\, I will describe AI techniques for inferring patient state in real-time from streaming sensor data and mobile interactions\, as well as a health coaching infrastructure for delivering tailored motivational and feedback mobile messaging. This architecture incorporates representations of user preferences\, motivations\, and barriers to change to enable the incorporation of known principles of health behavior change. Based on our needs assessment of stakeholders (elders\, family caregivers\, clinicians\, service providers\, researchers\, government\, and industry)\, we have focused on a design to facilitate the participation of family members and low-skilled caregivers as part of the care team. Our tested applications for this technology have ranged from interactive video exercise\, socialization\, and stress management to cognitive monitoring and cognitive health interventions. Bringing tailored and coordinated care interventions to the home offer a scalable and potentially cost-effective approach to improving health and quality of life for a growing population of individuals with chronic disease and conditions associated with aging. \nAbout the series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:CITRIS Research Exchange: Crystal Kolden on Fire Science
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “How Do We Stop Wildfire Disasters? A Complex Systems Perspective” \nSpeaker: Crystal Kolden\, Assistant Professor of Fire Science\, UC Merced \nRegister To Attend \nAbstract: Wildfires are a complex physical process that occurs both naturally and at the hands of humans. Fires are necessary to support many ecosystems and cultures\, but are producing increasingly disastrous human outcomes globally\, and particularly in the western United States. While engineering and technological advances have substantially mitigated other types of natural disasters over decades\, there is a considerable lag in this arena for wildfire\, which is a product of how fire has been historically viewed in the U.S. This presentation reviews both why the frameworks applied to disaster mitigation have been overlooked with respect to wildfire and also the state of the science regarding common misconceptions about wildfire mitigation. Also highlighted are key areas where engineering\, technology and data sciences could produce substantial and rapid advances in mitigating wildfire disasters. Suggestions are offered for the development of near-term research in wildfire mitigation and adaption\, particularly through replication\, amplification and expansion of natural biological solutions. \nSpeaker Bio: Crystal Kolden is a pyrogeographer with over two decades of experience in fire science. After beginning her career as a wildland firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service in California\, she earned graduate degrees in geography focused on remote sensing of wildfires. She has spent the last 15 years trying to understand the causes of and identify solutions to rapidly increasing wildfire disasters. Kolden conducts research on wildfire disaster mitigation and works with communities and agencies globally to develop and implement adaptation strategies. \nAbout the Series: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, these seminars feature leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Presentations take place on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. PT. Have an idea for a great talk?
