SUMMARY:Bots and Tots with Hal Varian
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, January 31\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the speaker:  \nHal R. Varian is the Chief Economist at Google. He started in May 2002 as a consultant and has been involved in many aspects of the company\, including auction design\, econometric analysis\, finance\, corporate strategy and public policy. He is also an emeritus professor at the University of California\, Berkeley in three departments: business\, economics\, and information management. He received his SB degree from MIT in 1969 and his MA in mathematics and Ph.D. in economics from UC Berkeley in 1973. He has also taught at MIT\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Michigan and other universities around the world. Dr. Varian is a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Econometric Society\, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was Co-Editor of the American Economic Review from 1987-1990 and holds honorary doctorates from the University of Oulu\, Finland and the University of Karlsruhe\, Germany. Professor Varian has published numerous papers in economic theory\, industrial organization\, financial economics\, econometrics and information economics.

SUMMARY:"The Horrors of Fake News Today - Can it be Stopped?" with Ash Bhat and Rohan Phadte
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 7\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n  \nAsh Bhat \nAt the age of 16\, Ash had sold a software company that built personalized mobile applications for high schools and school districts. His junior year of high school\, he dropped out of school and co-founded 1StudentBody. \nAt 1StudentBody\, Ash built applications that were used in over a third of all US high schools\, recruited and led the mobile engineering team\, and assisted in raising millions of dollars in venture capital. In 2014\, Ash founded Tetherball\, a company focused on building peer to peer solutions for internet connectivity. The company was acquired in 2015. \nCurrently\, Ash is focusing his time on projects around social impact. In 2017\, he launched RoBhat Labs\, with his college roommate Rohan\, a company focused on tackling the spread of fake news and misinformation. \nRohan Phadte \nAt the age of 13\, Rohan had delved into the world of robotics\, when he first built his own pathfinding robot. In high school\, he developed auto-tracking machine vision algorithms and was invited to national level robotic competitions. \nIn 2014\, he conducted research at NASA Ames Research Center\, focusing on nano-satellite data collection technology and positional satellite tracking. More recently\, Rohan’s focus shifted into the artificial intelligence and cryptography space. Since then\, he has developed natural language processing algorithms for online social media platforms and perception algorithms for companies in the self-driving car industry. \nNow\, Rohan applies state-of-the-art machine learning methods to prevent the spread of misinformation and fake news along with his co-founder Ash. \n\nAbstract: \nFake news played a role in the 2016 elections and have only become a larger issue since then. From compromised accounts spreading propaganda to websites that imitate legitimate new organizations\, fake news can be seen everywhere. Together we’ll see how misinformation spreads\, where it exists\, and talk through potential paths that we can take to tackle this issue. \n— \n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:"Human Organs Chips for Drug Development\, Disease Modeling\, and Precision Medicine" with Dr. Kevin Healy
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 14\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the speaker: \nKevin E. Healy\, Ph.D. is the Jan Fandrianto and Selfia Halim Distinguished Professor in Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in the Departments of Bioengineering\, and Materials Science and Engineering. He served as Chair of the Department of Bioengineering from 2011 to 2015. He received a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Rochester in 1983. He obtained graduate degrees in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania (Mechanical Engineering: 1985; Ph.D.: 1990). He is a thought leader and innovator working at the interface between stem cells and materials science to develop dynamic engineered systems to explore both fundamental biological phenomena and new applications in translational medicine. His group currently conducts research in the areas of: bioinspired stem cell microenvironments to control stem cell lineage specification and self-organization into microtissues or organs; bioinspired systems for regenerative medicine; biological interfaces; and\, microphysiological systems for drug toxicity screening. Major discoveries from his laboratory have centered on the control of cell fate and tissue formation in contract with materials that are tunable in both their biological content and mechanical properties. These materials find applications in medicine\, dentistry\, and biotechnology. \nTalk Abstract: \nOur work has emphasized creating both healthy and diseased model organ systems\, we call microphysiological systems or ‘organ chips’\, to address the broken drug discovery process. The average time to develop and launch a new drug is 10-15 years\, and costs ~ $5b. The poor efficiency and high failure rates are attributed to the heavy reliance on non-human animal models employed during safety and efficacy testing that poorly reflect human disease states. With the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cells\, we can now develop organ chips to be used for high content drug screening\, disease modelling\, and precision medicine. While organ chips are poised to disrupt the drug development process and significantly reduce the cost of bringing a new drug candidate to market\, organ chip technology is much more robust and creates a whole new paradigm in how to conduct biological science\, and advances medicine in revolutionary ways. While chips featuring single organs can be of great use for both pharmaceutical testing and basic organ-level studies\, the huge potential of organ chip technology is revealed by connecting multiple organs on a single chip to create a scalable integrated human system for mechanistic biological studies and devising therapies for common\, rare\, and difficult to study diseases. Ultimately\, the vision is to reduce or eliminate the use of animals in drug discovery\, and conduct ‘clinical trials’ in patient-specific organ chips that can accommodate variations in genetics\, environment\, and lifestyle. \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:“Technology Development for the Field of Regenerative Medicine” with Jan Nolta
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 21\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the Speaker: \nJan A. Nolta\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of the Stem Cell Program at UC Davis School of Medicine\, and directs the Institute for Regenerative Cures. She also serves as the Scientific Director of the large UC Davis Good Manufacturing Practice Facility\, and as Scientific Director of the California State Umbilical Cord Blood Collection Program. She has been ranked as one of the “Global Top 50 Most Influential People in the Field of Stem Cells.” \nTalk Abstract: \nThe fields of stem cells\, immunotherapy\, gene therapy and regenerative medicine are poised to change the face of healthcare. Immunotherapy is giving terminal cancer patients a second chance at life\, gene therapy can cure rare diseases\, and living stem cells and other cell and cultured tissue therapies are beginning to be prescribed for certain indications. Gene editing offers unprecedented opportunity to alter stem cell genomes to make lasting cures for monogenic disorders\, including countless rare diseases. This changes the fields of medicine\, nursing\, and pharmacy\, since the new generations of healthcare students will need to learn how to handle drugs that are not pills or liquids in a vial\, but rather are living\, often cryopreserved\, biological medicines. Manufacturing\, preparation and delivery will be performed by large teams of experts with different expertise and backgrounds\, including those with cell biology and manufacturing knowledge\, in addition to experts in medicine\, surgery\, imaging\, monitoring\, outcomes\, health technology and statistical analysis. New technologies are needed to streamline the manufacturing\, formulating\, and administration of the cell and gene therapy products. Telehealth technology is proving useful for remote patients’ healthcare and we are leveraging it\, through our UC Davis TeleHealth program and Alpha Stem Cell Clinic\, to help recruit patients to clinical trials and developing programs for more effective follow-up. \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Generalization and Self-Supervision in Deep Robotic Learning
DESCRIPTION:Machine learning algorithms excel primarily in settings where an engineer can first reduce the problem to a particular function (e.g. an image classifier)\, and then collect a substantial amount of labeled input-output pairs for that function. In drastic contrast\, humans are capable of learning from streams of raw sensory data with minimal external instruction. In this talk\, I will argue that\, in order to build intelligent systems that are as capable as humans\, machine learning models should not be trained in the context of one particular application. Instead\, we should be designing systems that can be versatile\, can learn in unstructured settings without detailed human-provided labels\, and can accomplish many tasks\, all while processing high-dimensional sensory inputs. To do so\, these systems must be able to actively explore and experiment\, collecting data themselves rather than relying on detailed human labels. \nMy talk will focus on two key aspects of this goal: generalization and self-supervision. I will first show how we can move away from hand-designed\, task-specific representations of a robot’s environment by enabling the robot to learn high-capacity models\, such as deep networks\, for representing complex skills from raw pixels. Further\, I will present an algorithm that learns deep models that can be rapidly adapted to different objects\, new visual concepts\, or varying environments\, leading to versatile behaviors. Beyond such versatility\, a hallmark of human intelligence is self-supervised learning. I will discuss how we can allow a robot to learn by playing with objects in the environment without any human supervision. From this experience\, the robot can acquire a visual predictive model of the world that can be used for maneuvering many different objects to varying positions. In all settings\, our experiments on simulated and real robot platforms demonstrate the ability to scale to complex\, vision-based skills with novel objects.

SUMMARY:A THIRTY YEAR PERSPECTIVE ON MEDICAL ROBOTICS: YESTERDAY\, TODAY\, AND TOMORROW
DESCRIPTION:Russ Taylor\, Johns Hopkins University\nMonday Feb 26\, 4:00-5:00PM\n250 Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nThis talk will discuss insights gathered over nearly thirty years of research on medical robotics and computer-integrated interventional medicine (CIIM)\, both at IBM and at Johns Hopkins University. The goal of this research has been the creation of a three-way partnership between physicians\, technology\, and information to improve treatment processes. CIIM systems combine innovative algorithms\, robotic devices\, imaging systems\, sensors\, and human-machine interfaces to work cooperatively with surgeons in the planning and execution of surgery and other interventional procedures. For individual patients\, CIIM systems can enable less invasive\, safer\, and more cost-effective treatments. Since these systems have the ability to act as “flight data recorders” in the operating room\, they can enable the use of statistical methods to improve treatment processes for future patients and to promote physician training. We will illustrate these themes with examples from our past and current work and will offer some thoughts about future research opportunities and system evolution. \nMachine learning algorithms excel primarily in settings where an engineer can first reduce the problem to a particular function (e.g. an image classifier)\, and then collect a substantial amount of labeled input-output pairs for that function. In drastic contrast\, humans are capable of learning from streams of raw sensory data with minimal external instruction. In this talk\, I will argue that\, in order to build intelligent systems that are as capable as humans\, machine learning models should not be trained in the context of one particular application. Instead\, we should be designing systems that can be versatile\, can learn in unstructured settings without detailed human-provided labels\, and can accomplish many tasks\, all while processing high-dimensional sensory inputs.

Although many of these patients have obvious limitations in mobility\, unbeknownst to the general public is that nearly all have neurogenic bladder dysfunction and lack control of their bladder. Since SCI patients are unable to sense bladder fullness\, they are recommended to catheterize every 2 to 4 hours throughout the day. This high frequency of emptying adds insult to injury . A common problem is making the trip to the bathroom and only finding a small amount of urine in the bladder. Or worse\, not getting to the bathroom in time and leaking because the bladder was too full. To address this problem\, we aim to build a non-invasive\, patch-like device that would be worn by SCI patients to receive timely alerts for starting to look for a bathroom to perform catheterization. The device would utilize an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors to infer spatial expansion of the bladder. The underlying physical principle exploited by our device is measurement of back scattered light at wavelengths for which water has high absorption coefficient (e.g.\, ~950nm) via an array of light source and detectors with fixed distances. We will develop machine learning algorithms to identify patterns in light absorption maps generated by the sensor array\, and to personalize the alert to better match individual patient’s body characteristics and preferences. Extensive empirical studies with bladder replicas\, swine bladder and healthy human volunteers will be carried out. \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.

A key challenge in this area has been the need for high-quality data\, to give visibility into the actual operating state of distribution networks. Five years ago\, a Berkeley-led team embarked on an ambitious ARPA-E funded project to develop a new type of sensor\, the micro-PMU\, and a new database to facilitate the use of these rich\, synchronized time-series measurements in grid operations and analysis. This talk will summarize outcomes of this project and some of the ongoing research\, at Berkeley and around the world\, that builds on the new technology. \n\n\n\n\n About the speaker: \nAlexandra (Sascha) von Meier is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley and directs the Electric Grid Research program at the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE). Her work is driven by the vision of a nimble\, adaptable and resilient electric power infrastructure that optimally recruits resources such as solar photovoltaics\, energy storage and electric demand response to support the transition to a carbon-neutral electric grid. Her current projects focus on the use of high-precision micro-synchrophasor measurements for situational awareness\, diagnostics and control applications in power distribution systems.\n\n\n  \n\nFree and open to the public.
