High performance computing (HPC)\, large-scale simulations\, and scientific applications all play a central role in CSE. i4Science will focus mainly on smaller subset of CSE applications that within 3–5 years would be scalable from 1000s to millions of processors and from tera to exa-scale computing using emerging computing technologies—HPC and Cloud. \n 2:00- 2:30 p.m. \n “Computational Histopathology for the Cancer Genome Atlas ” \n Computational Imaging and Bioinformatics \n Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory \n 2:30-3:00 p.m. \n “Data-Driven Modeling and Prediction of Startup Company Exits ” \n \, Assistant Professor\, Applied Mathematics \n University of California\, Merced URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/computation-and-data-driven-modeling-i4science-series-may-5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110505T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110505T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T230033 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4195-1304582400-1304614800@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:Trends in NeuroScience: i4science series\, May 5 DESCRIPTION:The Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience is a group of theorists consisting of faculty\, postdocs and graduate students. The goal is to develop mathematical and computational models of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms involved in perception\, cognition\, learning\, and motor function. The center collaborates with experimental neuroscience labs in the design of experiments and in the analysis of neural data. We also train students at UC Berkeley in these ideas and methods. Members of the Redwood Center typically have backgrounds in computer science\, physics and mathematics\, in addition to neuroscience. We seek insight into the workings of the brain at many levels through the continual interaction between theory and experiment. \n 3:00- 3:30 p.m. \n “Finding Patterns of Activity in Large-Scale Neural Recordings” \n Director\, Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience \n Professor\, Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and School of Optometry\, University of California\, Berkeley \n 3:30-4:00 p.m. \n “Online Repositories for Neuroscience Enable Concerted Efforts to Understand the Brain” \n \, Associate Adjunct Professor\, Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience & Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute\, University of California\, Berkeley URL:https://citris-uc.org/event/trends-in-neuroscience-i4science-series-may-5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110504T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20110504T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T230033 CREATED:20140202T090101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140202T090101Z UID:4189-1304496000-1304528400@citris-uc.org SUMMARY:Fast\, Automated\, 3D Modeling of Building Interiors\, May 4 DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the spring semester is online at \n . All talks may be viewed on our \n Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n Abstract: \n Automated 3D modeling of building interiors is useful in applications such as virtual reality and entertainment. In this talk\, we develop an architecture and associated algorithms for fast\, automatic\, photo-realistic 3D models of building interiors. The central challenge of such a problem is to localize the acquisition device while it is in motion\, rather than collecting the data in a stop and go fashion. In the past\, such acquisition devices have been placed on robots with wheels or human operated pushcarts\, which would limit their use to planar environments. Our goal is to address the more difficult problem of localization and 3D modeling in more complex non-planar environments such as staircases\, or caves. Thus\, we propose a human operated backpack system made of a suite of sensors such as laser scanners\, cameras\, inertial measurement units (IMU)s which are used to both localize the backpack\, and build the 3D geometry and texture of the scene. The two main challenges to localizing a human operated backpack system in indoor environments are (a) lack of GPS\, and (b) having to recover six degrees of freedom (DoF) pose information\, rather than 3 DoF namely\, x\,y\, and yaw\, typically used in wheeled systems on planar floors. As it turns out\, the small pitch\, roll and z variations for typical human gait cannot be ignored for the full 6 dimensional pose recovery made of x\,y\,z\, pitch\, roll and yaw. We propose a number of scan matching and visual odometry based localization algorithms and compare their performance using a high end IMU sensor which serves as the ground truth. We also propose a number of 3D model generation approaches\, and show examples of resulting models for multiple floors of the electrical engineering building at U.C. Berkeley.

She will talk about the tectonic setting of the two earthquakes and why the damage from the smaller one harbors important lessons for California. \n Since 2003\, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory has been hosting public lectures\, the Lawson Lectures\, on earthquakes and earthquake science. The lecture series is meant to address a wide variety of earthquake issues of interest to the Berkeley community.
