SUMMARY:Data-Driven Price-of-Anarchy Estimation in Transportation Networks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ioannis Paschalidis \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) \nThis event has been postponed. Please check the seminar series schedule for any updates. \nEquilibrium modeling is common in a variety of fields such as game theory\, transportation science\, and systems biology. The inputs for these models\, however\, are often difficult to estimate\, while their outputs\, i.e.\, the equilibria they are meant to describe\, are often directly observable. By combining ideas from inverse optimization with the theory of variational inequalities\, we develop an efficient\, data-driven technique for estimating the parameters of these models from observed equilibria. A distinguishing feature of our approach is that it supports both parametric and nonparametric estimation by leveraging ideas from statistical learning. \nWe apply this general framework to transportation networks. Using real traffic data from the Boston area\, we estimate origin-destination flow demand matrices and the per-road cost (congestion) functions drivers implicitly use for route selection. Given this information\, one can formulate and solve a system-optimum problem to identify socially optimal flows for the transportation network. The ratio of total latency under a user-optimal policy versus a system-optimal policy is the so-called Price-of-Anarchy (POA)\, quantifying the efficiency loss of selfish actions compared to socially optimal ones. We find that POA can be quite substantial\, sometimes exceeding 2\, suggesting that there is scope for control actions to steer the equilibrium to a socially optimal one. We will discuss what some of these actions may be and how to prioritize interventions. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nYannis Paschalidis is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Systems Engineering\, and Biomedical Engineering at Boston University.

SUMMARY:The Bugs that went to Mars and Terrorized Earth
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rajeev Joshi \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) | Monday\, February 27 | 4 – 5 PM | 250 Sutardja Dai Hall | Webcast \nSince its dramatic landing in Gale crater in August 2012\, the Curiosity Rover has been busy exploring the surface of Mars\, looking for evidence of past habitable environments. Having completed over 4 years on Mars\, and with nearly 17 kms on its odometer\, Curiosity has already made historic discoveries\, finding evidence of an ancient freshwater streambed\, organic molecules and other key ingredients necessary for life. Yet\, in spite of its great successes\, the mission has not been without a few hiccups. In this talk\, we discuss the most significant of these: the Sol-200 anomaly\, when the failure of a flash memory chip uncovered three latent software bugs that nearly killed the mission. We describe how the anomaly manifested itself\, how recovery was achieved\, and lessons learnt from the experience. The work described in this talk was carried out at Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, California Institute of Technology\, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nRajeev Joshi is a Principal Engineer at the Lab for Reliable Software at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory\, where he works on building and applying tools based on formal methods to improve mission software reliability. He is also currently the Chief Engineer for Flight Software and Avionics Systems at JPL. He was a member of the Curiosity rover flight software development team\, and\, after landing\, a member of the surface operations team\, serving as data management chair and supporting anomaly investigations. For his work on Curiosity\, he received two JPL Mariner Awards and the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal. He holds a B.Tech in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Bombay\, and an MS/PhD (also in Computer Sciences) from the University of Texas at Austin. His previous employment includes 4 years at the DEC/Compaq/HP Systems Research Center (SRC) in Palo Alto\, CA\, and 2 years at AT&T Bell Labs in Murray Hill\, NJ. He is an elected member (and current secretary) of IFIP Working Group 2.3 on Programming Methodology.

SUMMARY:3+1 - An HMI Design Framework for Autonomous Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brian Lathrop \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) | Friday\, March 03 | 2 – 3 PM | 540 Cory Hall | Webcast \nWhile mode confusion and the ensuing human error that goes with it will likely have a significant impact on the safety of future AVs\, the transitioning between modes and how those transitions are orchestrated via the vehicle’s HMI will be equally important. This is particularly relevant when the modes to which one is transitioning are not discrete states (e.g.\, on and off). That is\, when transitions are put into the context of SAE Driving Automation Definitions it becomes clear that the human operator will transition into partial automation\, conditional automation\, and high automation. These variable states of the vehicle need to be communicated in a timely and clear manner\, and the orchestration of the transitions between states needs to be effortless and exact. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nSenior Principal Scientist Brian Lathrop is the Senior Principal Scientist for the Technology and Trend Scouting team at Volkswagen. In 2003 Brian received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from the University of California\, Santa Cruz. In 2004 Brian joined VW and was responsible for human factors and usability testing activities for infotainment and driver assistance systems. In 2008 Brian became the senior manager of the HMI team at the ERL\, responsible for defining the vision\, roadmap\, and overall strategy. He has led many projects focused on reinventing the vehicle cockpit of tomorrow\, realizing advanced infotainment controls\, futuristic displays\, gaze and gesture-dependent interfaces\, and HMI concepts for self-driving cars. In 2016 Brian joined the Technology and Trend Scouting\, focused on transforming customer insights into user friendly products.

SUMMARY:Automatic discovery and localization of tough bugs in large SoCs using formal-enhanced quick error detection
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Clark Barrett \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) | Monday\, March 06 | 4 – 5 PM | 250 Sutardja Dai Hall | Webcast \nQuick error detection (QED) is an existing technique that transforms existing SoC test suites to improve coverage and reduce error detection latency. I will discuss two recent results which use formal methods to greatly enhance the power of QED. First\, Symbolic QED is a method which uses bounded model checking to exhaustively search for short sequences of instructions which could cause QED checks to fail. Symbolic QED finds logic bugs and is applicable both to pre- and post-silicon designs. Second\, Electrical QED is a technique that uses a small amount of additional hardware coupled with bounded model checking and QED to quickly localize post-silicon electrical bugs to specific design blocks and even to a handful of flip-flops within those design blocks. Both techniques were evaluated on the OpenSPARC T2 SoC with a wide variety of injected logic and electrical bugs. The new techniques automatically found and localized the injected bugs. \n_______________________________________________________________ \n \n\nClark Barrett is an Associate Professor (Research) of Computer Science at Stanford University\, with expertise in constraint solving and its applications to verification. His Ph.D dissertation introduced a novel approach to constraint solving now known as Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT). His subsequent work on SMT has been recognized with a best paper award at DAC\, an IBM Software Quality Innovation award\, the Haifa Verification Conference award\, and first-place honors at the SMT\, CASC\, and SyGuS competitions. He was also an early pioneer in the development of formal hardware verification: at Intel\, he collaborated on a novel theorem prover used to verify key microprocessor properties; and at 0-in Design Automation (now part of Mentor Graphics)\, he helped build one of the first industrially successful assertion-based verification tool-sets for hardware.

SUMMARY:Computational Imaging for 3D Gigapixel Microscopy
DESCRIPTION:Computational Imaging for 3D Gigapixel Microscopy\nLecture: CITRIS Research Exchange: Health Initiative: Big Data: People and Robots Initiative | March 8 | 12-1 p.m. | Sutardja Dai Hall\, 310\, Banatao Auditorium \n  \nSpeaker/Performer: Laura Waller\, Associate Professor\, EECS\, UC Berkeley \nSponsor: CITRIS and the Banatao Institute \n \nAbstract:\nComputational imaging involves the joint design of imaging system hardware and software\, optimizing across the entire pipeline from acquisition to reconstruction. This talk will describe new methods for computational microscopy with coded illumination\, based on a simple and inexpensive hardware modification of a commercial microscope. Traditionally\, one must trade field-of-view for resolution; with our methods we can have both\, resulting in Gigapixel-scale images with resolution beyond the diffraction limit of the system. Our reconstruction algorithms are based on large-scale nonlinear non-convex optimization procedures for phase retrieval. \nLaura Waller leads the Computational Imaging Lab\, which develops new methods for optical imaging\, with optics and computational algorithms designed jointly. She holds the Ted Van Duzer Endowed Professorship and is a Senior Fellow at the Berkeley Institute of Data Science (BIDS)\, with affiliations in Bioengineering and Applied Sciences & Technology. Laura was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer of Physics at Princeton University from 2010-2012 and received BS\, MEng and PhD degrees from MIT in 2014\, 2015 and 2010\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Datacenter Computers: Modern Challenges in CPU Design
DESCRIPTION:Lecture | March 10 | 11 AM – 12 PM | Wozniak Lounge\, 430-438 Soda Hall \nSpeaker: Richard L. Sites\, Google Inc.\nEvent Sponsor: ASPIRE Lab\nEvent Contact: roxana@eecs.berkeley.edu \nComputers used as datacenter servers have usage patterns that differ substantially from those of desktop or laptop computers. We discuss four key differences in usage and their first-order implications for designing computers that are particularly well-suited as servers: data movement\, thousands of transactions per second\, program isolation\, and measurement underpinnings.\nMaintaining high-bandwidth data movement requires coordinated design decisions throughout the memory system\, instruction-issue system\, and even instruction set. Serving thousands of transactions per second requires continuous attention to all sources of delay –causes of long-latency transactions. Unrelated programs running on shared hardware produce delay through undesired interference; isolating programs from one another needs further hardware help. And finally\, when running datacenter servers as a business it is vital to be able to observe and hence decrease inefficiencies across dozens of layers of software and thousands of interacting servers. There are myriad open research problems related to these issues. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nDick Sites is a Senior Staff Engineer at Google\, where he has worked for 10 years. He previously worked at Adobe Systems\, Digital Equipment Corporation\, Hewlett-Packard\, Burroughs\, and IBM.

SUMMARY:Ken Goldberg – The New Wave in Robot Grasping
DESCRIPTION:Seminar | Monday\, March 13\, 2017  | 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM | 3108 Etcheverry Hall \nSponsored by Industrial Engineering & Operations Research \nSpeaker: Ken Goldberg \nMore information: https://eecs.berkeley.edu/events/2017/03/ken-goldberg-new-wave-robot-grasping \nDespite 50 years of research\, robots remain remarkably clumsy\, limiting their applications in home decluttering\, warehouse order fulfillment\, and robot-assisted surgery. The first wave of grasping research\, still dominant\, uses analytic methods based on screw theory and assumes exact knowledge of pose\, shape\, and contact mechanics. The second wave is empirical: purely data-driven approaches which learn grasp strategies from many examples using techniques such as imitation and reinforcement learning with hyperparametric function approximation (Deep Learning). I conjecture that the next wave will be based on hybrid methods that combine analytic models to bootstrap empirical models\, where data and code is exchanged via the Cloud using emerging advances in cloud computing and big data.

SUMMARY:Deep Robotic Learning
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sergey Levine \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) | Monday\, March 13 | 4 – 5 PM | 250 Sutardja Dai Hall | Webcast \nDeep learning methods have provided us with remarkably powerful\, flexible\, and robust solutions in a wide range of passive perception areas: computer vision\, speech recognition\, and natural language processing. However\, active decision making domains such as robotic control present a number of additional challenges\, standard supervised learning methods do not extend readily to robotic decision making\, where supervision is difficult to obtain. In this talk\, I will discuss experimental results that hint at the potential of deep learning to transform robotic decision making and control\, present a number of algorithms and models that can allow us to combine expressive\, high-capacity deep models with reinforcement learning and optimal control\, and describe some of our recent work on scaling up robotic learning through collective learning with multiple robots. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nSergey Levine received a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2009\, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2014.

SUMMARY:Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM:Berkeley) Makeathon This Weekend!
DESCRIPTION: Bay Area makers and UC Berkeley students join global movement to collaborate\n and develop custom solutions with people with disabilities in 48-hour Makeathon. \nMakeathon | March 17 – 19\, 2017 | Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation \n[Berkeley\, March 17-19] 95 innovators and makers will gather at Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation at UC Berkeley for TOM:Berkeley\, a three-day technology-development marathon where participants work together with people with disabilities to develop solutions for everyday challenges. Physical prototypes address the local need\, and the designs will be published online to address the needs of others with similar disabilities around the world. \nTOM:Berkeley is the newest TOM:Tikkun Olam Makers community – a global movement of makers\, designers\, developers\, and innovators who seek to solve challenges faced by people living with disabilities worldwide.  The community is being launched alongside three other college campuses and one high school this Spring with the support of the Jim Joseph Foundation. \nWith 1.1 Billion people living with disabilities around the world\, there are countless personal challenges which hinder independence and inclusion.  The uniqueness of many of these challenges limits the prospective market size\, limiting company development and driving prices up for existing commercial products.  This event seeks to meet those needs within the local community by connecting volunteers with different backgrounds and skill sets\, then providing support and structure to facilitate development. \nThe teams will have access to the state of the art workshop at both Jacobs Hall and the CITRIS Invention Lab at UC Berkeley\, including 3D printers\, laser cutters\, water jet cutters\, electronics fabrication. The eleven teams will have 48 hours to create a working prototype for their challenge. \nTOM:Berkeley\, starting March 17th at the Jacobs Institute on UC Berkeley and culminating on the 19th\,  brings together local Makers and people with disabilities on 11 separate challenges. The closing event which is open to the public will take place at Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation on 19th of March at 4pm\, when TOM:Berkeley participants will showcase their prototypes to the community. \nTOM:Berkeley (berkeley.tomglobal.org) is a local community for student Makers\, designers\, developers and engineers working together with people with disabilities to develop technological solutions for everyday challenges.  This event is co-organized by the student group EnableTech at UC Berkeley\, who will provide support for projects to continue after the event\, and sponsored by CITRIS and the Banatao Institute and the CITRIS Invention Lab\, as well as other sponsors\, including Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation\, MakerBot\, Neurotech@Berkeley\, FEM Tech\, Jim Joseph Foundation\, Engineering Student Services\, and the Reut Group. \nBy mobilizing TOM Communities worldwide\, TOM:Tikkun Olam Makers (tomglobal.org) seeks to address neglected challenges and develop millions of affordable technological solutions for people with disabilities around the globe. Established in 2014\, TOM is a strategic initiative of the Reut Group\, a Tel Aviv-based innovative policy and strategy group creating and scaling models to ensure prosperity and resilience for Israel and the Jewish People while courageously pursuing a vision to positively impact the lives of 250 Million people in a decade. \n

SUMMARY:PRP Workshop at 2017 CENIC
DESCRIPTION:Workshop | Monday\, March 20\, 2017 | 3 PM – 5 PM | Pacifica B\, Estancia La Jolla Hotel\, San Diego\, CA \nCENIC Registration: http://bit.ly/2k81Zp5 (If you plan to ONLY attend the PRP Workshop at the 2017 CENIC Conference and do not wish to register for the entire conference\, please contact Dr. Brandie Nonnecke <nonnecke@citris-uc.org>) \nPresenters: \nMichael Cianfrocco\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, UC San Diego \nElizabeth Villa\, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry\, UC San Diego \nFrank Vernon\, Research Geophysicist & Lecturer\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, UC San Diego \nCamille Crittenden\, Deputy Director\, Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute\, UC Berkeley (moderator) \nThe NSF-funded Pacific Research Platform (PRP) is a science-driven high-capacity data-centric “freeway system” being developed on a large regional scale. The PRP will enable participating universities and other research institutions to move data 1\,000 times faster compared to speeds on today’s inter-campus shared Internet. This workshop will highlight early progress on facilitating collaborative\, data-intensive research with case studies on use of the PRP for Cryo-EM and real-time wildfire detection and response.  \nBig data has arrived for a fast-growing field of biological research: cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). As a research tool for ‘structural biology’\, researchers worldwide are turning to cryo-EM to illuminate the atomic details that underlie key biological processes. These atomic structures are then used to understand the inner workings of a cell\, with implications ranging from human health & disease to agriculture. Cryo-EM relies on collecting and analyzing terabytes of low signal-to-noise ratio images of specimens. Through the analysis of millions of different images\, researchers are able to overcome the low signal to produce atomic-level understanding of biological processes through the use of high-performance computing (HPC) resources. Given the large size of the datasets\, researchers face significant hurdles connecting HPC resources to their cryo-EM datasets. Furthermore\, it is becoming routine to have centralized cryo-EM facilities that serve both local and national users from across the United States.  \nThe High-Performance and Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) was created in 2000 with funding from NSF.and provides telecommunications capability in areas not well-served by other fixed or mobile high-speed wireless services. HPWREN functions as a collaborative cyberinfrastructure on research\, education\, and public safety activities. This includes creating and evaluating a non-commercial\, high-performance\, wide-area wireless network in San Diego\, Riverside\, and Imperial counties. Both the County of San Diego and San Diego Gas & Electric provided further resources to acquire additional cameras and weather stations for environmental observations for the HPWREN sensor network\, increasing its utility for public safety uses. The cameras were installed in strategic locations on remote mountain tops\, overlooking vast areas of mountainous brush and chaparral\, and are often used by firefighters to confirm the location or status of an active wildfire\, as well as by news organizations and the general public. HPWREN Director Frank Vernon will discuss recent collaborations between the network\, CENIC\, and the PRP.

SUMMARY:Wolfgang Ketter – FleetPower: Creating Virtual Power Plants in Sustainable Smart Electricity Markets
DESCRIPTION:Lecture | Monday\, March 20\, 2017 | 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM | 3108 Etcheverry Hall \nSpeaker: Wolfgang Ketter\, Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus University Rotterdam \nAs the share of renewable energy becomes an increasing part of electricity generation\, electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to be used as virtual power plants (VPP) to provide reliable back-up power. This could generate additional profits for EV carsharing rental firms. We design a computational control mechanism for VPPs that decide whether EVs should be charging\, discharging\, or rented out. We validate our computational design by developing a discrete-event simulation platform based on real-time GPS information from 1\,100 electric cars from Daimlers carsharing service Car2Go in San Diego\, Amsterdam\, and Stuttgart. We compute trading prices (bids) for participating in secondary control reserve markets and investigate what effect the density of charging infrastructure\, battery technology\, and rental demand for vehicles have on the pay-off for the carsharing fleet. We show that VPPs can create sustainable revenue streams for electric vehicle carsharing fleets without compromising their rental business. \n________________________________________ \nWolfgang Ketter is a Professor of Next Generation Information Systems at the Department of Technology and Operations Management at Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus University. \nProfessor Ketter is the founder and director of the Learning Agents Research Group at Erasmus.

SUMMARY:Overcoming the Curse of Dimensionality for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with Applications to Control and Differential Games
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stanley Osher \nSeminar: CITRIS People and Robots Initiative\, “Design of Robotics and Embedded systems\, Analysis\, and Modeling” Seminars (DREAMS) | Monday\, March 13 | 4 – 5 PM | 250 Sutardja Dai Hall | Webcast \nIt is well known that certain Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equations (HJ PDE’s) play an important role in analyzing control theory and differential games. The cost of standard numerical algorithms for HJ PDE’s is exponential in the space dimension and time\, with huge memory requirements. Here we propose and test methods for solving a large class of these problems without the use of grids or significant numerical approximation. We begin with the classical Hopf and Hopf-Lax formulas which enable us to solve state independent problems via variational methods originating in compressive sensing with remarkable results. We can evaluate the solution in 10^(-4) to 10^(-8) seconds per evaluation on a laptop. The method is embarrassingly parallel and has low memory requirements. Recently\, with a slightly more complicated\, but still embarrassingly parallel method\, we have extended this in great generality to state dependent HJ equations\, apparently\, with the help of parallel computers\, overcoming the curse of dimensionality for these problems. The term\, “curse of dimensionality” was coined by Richard Bellman in 1957 when he did his classic work on dynamic optimization. \n_______________________________________________________________ \nStanley Osher is a Professor of Mathematics & Computer Science in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California\, Los Angeles. He is also the Director of Special Projects at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM). Osher’s research consists of developing innovative numerical methods to solve partial differential equations\, especially those whose solutions have steep gradients\, analysis of these algorithms and the underlying P.D.E.’s and applications to various areas of Engineering\, Physics and recently\, image processing. \n
