Recent events in the field of climate change have confused both the public and many “experts.” I will try to elucidate what has been happening. Two out of three climate groups show no global warming for the past 13 years.
This talk will survey results of the Secure Machine Learning group at UC Berkeley. We will discuss machine learning applied to security. Unlike conventional approaches to machine learning, security presents Byzantine adversaries who adapt to various techniques and attempt to make machine learning systems mislearn.
In his talk, Dr. Jacob will take you on a guided tour of what your life could be in the short and long-term future. We are increasingly living in a physical world augmented by the arrival of many digital worlds. When you watch a movie, you don’t know when the real actors are shown on the screen versus wire-framed computer-generated clones.
The Open Innovation Speaker Series is a weekly series intended to provide both academic and managerial perspectives on open innovation and related subjects. It is open to UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff, and the general public.
At this student-led seminar, selected EPG/BERC Members will provide short briefings on their recent energy and water resource policy analysis and advocacy efforts, as well as field questions from the audience.
We recently completed a dense electrical metering and wireless sensor network deployment in Cory Hall as part of a California Energy Commission supported Building-to-Grid Testbed to explore how an extremely complex load can potentially cooperate with the grid, both for demand response and for increasing the penetration of renewable supplies.
This April Peter released his second book, Smart Power: Climate Change, the Smart Grid, and the Future of Electric Utilities. Smart Power examines the industry’s technology, cost characteristics, and ability to function as a sustainable business.
IBM has made a generous gift of a cloud computing cluster, housed in a dedicated laboratory in Sutardja Dai Hall that will lend significant resources to solving some of the most challenging problems facing us in energy and water.
Are some regions of the world smarter than others? Are they more sustainable? Greener? More innovative? Do things just work better in some regions, and do these regions offer better jobs to workers and better investments to investors? How do these regions attract people and capital, and create value?
