SUMMARY:Engineering 2D Energy Landscapes Using Molecules and Defects
DESCRIPTION:The local electronic properties of 2D devices are typically controlled by electric fields that come from nearby electrodes. Conventional electrodes\, however\, are difficult to make with ultra-small feature size (e.g.\, down to a single nanometer) and also create difficulties in maintaining atomically clean surfaces for scanned probe microscopy experiments.

He is a technical lead in the Google Brain Team and manages Google’s Robotics Research effort. Prior to that\, he leads Brain’s vision and perception research\, and the speech recognition quality team for Google Search by Voice. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and a Diplôme d’Ingénieur from the Ecole Centrale Paris. \nWojciech Zaremba\nResearcher and Founder | OpenAI \nWojciech Zaremba is a researcher/founder at OpenAI. He completed his Ph.D. at New York University. He has been awarded Google Fellowship in 2015-2016. \nHe used to work at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) under the supervision of Prof. Rob Fergus and Prof. Yann LeCun. Moreover\, he has been interning multiple times at Google Brain (Google Brain) with Prof. Geoffrey Hinton\, and Ilya Sutskever. Together with his team at Google\, they developed deep learning-based photo search for Google+. A few years back\, he used to work at Nvidia on GPU driver memory management\, Center for Learning and Visual Computing at École Centrale\, and Digital Enterprise Research Institute at the National University of Ireland. \nChelsea Finn\nComputer Science Ph.D. Student | UC Berkeley \nChelsea Finn is a Ph.D. student in CS at UC Berkeley\, where she works on machine learning for robotic perception and control. She is a part of Berkeley AI Research Lab (BAIR)\, advised by Pieter Abbeel and Sergey Levine. She recently spent time at Google Brain. \nBefore graduate school\, she received a Bachelors in EECS at MIT\, where she worked on several research projects\, including an assistive technology project in CSAIL under Seth Teller and an animal biometrics project under Sai Ravela. She has also spent time at Counsyl\, Google\, and Sandia National Labs. \nEmo Todorov\nAssociate Professor\, Computer Science & Engineering | University of Washington \nEmanuel Todorov\, Associate Professor\, graduated from MIT in 1998 with a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience. He joined the University of Washington from the Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California San Diego. \nThe real-time control of a complex musculo-skeletal system such as the human body requires the generation of thousands of control signals per second. Humans’ ability to accomplish difficult tasks – in the face of noise\, delays\, uncertainty\, and constantly changing circumstances – suggests that these control signals are chosen rather intelligently and to a large extent online. Todorov’s research focus is intelligent control in biological and artificial systems. He combines experimental and computational methods to investigate how the brain controls the body in a variety of motor tasks. He also develops biologically-inspired control algorithms that aim to solve complex problems beyond the reach of traditional control theory. \nKen Goldberg\nProfessor\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences | UC Berkeley \nKen Goldberg is an artist\, inventor\, and UC Berkeley Professor. He is Chair of the Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department\, with secondary appointments in EECS\, Art Practice\, the School of Information\, and Radiation Oncology at the UCSF Medical School. Ken is Director of CITRIS People and Robots and the UC Berkeley AUTOLAB where he and his students pursue research in geometric algorithms and machine learning for robotics and automation in surgery\, manufacturing\, and other applications. Ken developed the first provably complete algorithms for part feeding and part fixturing and the first robot on the Internet. Despite agonizingly slow progress\, Ken persists in trying to make robots less clumsy. He has over 200 peer-reviewed publications and eight U.S. Patents. He co-founded and served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering. Ken’s artwork has appeared in 70 exhibits including the Whitney Biennial and films he has co-written have been selected for Sundance and nominated for an Emmy Award. Ken was awarded the NSF PECASE (Presidential Faculty Fellowship) from President Bill Clinton in 1995\, elected IEEE Fellow in 2005\, and selected by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society for the George Saridis Leadership Award in 2016. He lives in the Bay Area and is madly in love with his wife\, filmmaker and Webby Awards founder Tiffany Shlain\, and their two daughters. He is fiercely protective of his family\, his students\, and his frequent-flier miles. (goldberg.berkeley.edu @Ken_Goldberg) \nSergey Levine\nAssistant Professor\, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences | UC Berkeley \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. He joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley in fall 2016. His work focuses on machine learning for decision making and control\, with an emphasis on deep learning and reinforcement learning algorithms. Applications of his work include autonomous robots and vehicles\, as well as computer vision and graphics. His research includes developing algorithms for end-to-end training of deep neural network policies that combine perception and control\, scalable algorithms for inverse reinforcement learning\, deep reinforcement learning algorithms\, and more.

SUMMARY:Increasing Freeway Capacity by Efficiently Timing its Nearby Arterial Traffic Signals
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The objective of freeway on-ramp metering is to regulate the entry of vehicles to prevent capacity drop on the freeway mainline. However\, the nearby arterial traffic signals facilitating freeway access fail to recognize that the metered on-ramps can be oversaturated due to the flow restriction and limited storage. Instead\, the arterial traffic signals provide long cycles in order to…

SUMMARY:Inclusive AI: Technology and Policy for a Diverse Urban Future
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, algorithms that enable machines and systems to automate decisions and processes\, shape our daily lives. These largely hidden systems determine how data is gathered\, analyzed\, and presented directly to us or used to make decisions on our behalf. With rapid global urbanization\, AI promises not only to drive progress and increase efficiencies within critical public service areas but also offers the potential to develop new markets and support economic growth. At the same time\, AI can exacerbate negative effects when it reinforces social biases and inequalities–whether by design or unintentionally. Far from remaining a “virtual threat\,” the consequences of ill-considered algorithms can have damaging effects in the real world. \nThe Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute and Microsoft will host a symposium dedicated to exploring the effects of AI-enabled technologies on labor\, law enforcement\, and public services. The symposium will highlight AI research and its implementation in the urban environment and will raise questions regarding effects of AI on cultural\, social\, political and economic inclusion. Leaders from academia\, industry\, and government will discuss the benefits and risks of AI-enabled technologies for labor markets and urban management\, and how to promote development and application of AI while identifying and managing potential risks. CITRIS will present preliminary insights from a study of the role of AI-enabled technologies in urban environments. \nWednesday\, May 10\, 2017\n10:30 AM to 5:00 PM (PDT)\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\nUC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n  \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Shadow Regulation of the Internet with Jeremy Malcolm - CITRIS Research Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Shadow Regulation of the Internet with Jeremy Malcolm\nTalk Abstract\nIn the early days of the Internet\, there was a debate about whether it should be regulated in the same way as we regulate offline spaces\, or whether cyberspace was a separate domain that shouldn’t be subject to the laws of nation states. Nowadays\, it’s commonplace for national legislatures and court systems to regulate the Internet in various ways\, so we rarely hear this argument anymore. But the problems of conflicts between national legal systems and the architecture of the borderless Internet still remain. That’s why\, increasingly\, the Internet is being regulated in a different way\, that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has dubbed Shadow Regulation. If that phrase sounds a little ominous\, this talk will explain why. \nWed\, September 20\, 2017\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n \nJeremy Malcolm is Senior Global Policy Analyst at Electronic Frontier Foundation\, where he works on the international dimensions of issues such as intellectual property\, network neutrality\, Internet governance\, and trade. Jeremy graduated with degrees in Law (with Honours) and Commerce in 1995 from Murdoch University\, and completed his PhD thesis at the same University in 2008 on the topic of Internet governance. Jeremy’s background is as an information technology and intellectual property lawyer and IT consultant. He is admitted to the bars of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (1995)\, High Court of Australia (1996) and Appellate Division of New York (2009). \nCITRIS Research Exchange Fall 2017 Series\nFree and open to the public\, the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly dialogue highlighting leading voices on societal-scale research issues.
