Free class: Programming in Lean for Scientists and Engineers 1-3pm ET July 9 – Aug 21, in-person & onlne, non-credit

Lean for Scientists and Engineers


Meets twice weekly, 1-3pm ET, July 9 – August 21, 2024
in-person at UMBC and online


UMBC’s AI & Theory-Oriented Molecular Science Lab (ATOMS) will teach a free, non-credit class, “Lean for Scientists and Engineers”, this summer. Lean 4 is a new programming language whose type system enables it to describe and check the logic of advanced math proofs. It makes it easier to write correct and maintainable code.

By writing software in Lean and writing proofs about those functions, we can be confidant that our code is correct. Our vision is to enable a new class of scientific computing software whose functions are interwoven with a library of formally-verified scientific derivations. All are welcome! This course is designed for non-mathematicians. 

Topics include logic and proofs for scientists and engineers, functional programming in Lean 4, and provably-correct programs for scientific computing. Prerequisites are Calculus II, introductory physics and introductory chemistry.

Experimenting with Organizational Design in the Age of AI

Erwin Godoy, Freddie Mac
12-1pm ET, June 27, 2024

How AI will transform organizations is still to be determined. No doubt, AI will require new skill sets and perhaps new types of organization. The normal response by mature organizations is to "slap" AI into the existing business model that made them successful in the past. This is a flawed response filled with pitfalls. Organizations need to be ready to experiment with new skills, organizational designs, and business models to win in the age of AI.

UMBC Professor Sanjay Purushotham is one of the organizers of MILETS'24, the 10th Mining and Learning from Time Series workshop. It will be held on August 25, 2024 in conjunction with KDD'24, the 30th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. Submitted papers are due by June 14, 2024.

Time series data is ubiquitous across diverse domains, and modern time series pose significant challenges to existing techniques due to their size, complexity, and atypical properties. MILETS'24 will focus on synergizing research in time series analysis and mining, moving from classical methods to LLMs, discussing new and open problems, and emphasizing applications to high-impact domains.

Topics covered include forecasting, pattern mining, multivariate and structured time series, anomaly detection, interpretation, causal inference, fairness, federated learning, hardware acceleration, streaming data, privacy, benchmarking, and applications across various fields.

May 30

In the UMBC Training Centers AI Lunchbox session this week, Tom Cain will give an overview of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4o, 12-1pm ET, Thursday May 30, 2024 via Zoom.

Earlier this month, OpenAI released the latest version of their model, GPT-4o. The "o" in its name stands for "omni" to highlight its enhanced capabilities to process and respond to audio content, function as a chat assistant, and other new features. In addition to being more capable, it is also free to use interactively and cheaper to use via its API. 

Tom will demonstrate some of the new possibilities that GTP-4o opens up for interacting with AI tools in this session, focusing on features that are free for any user.

Machine Learning based Voltage Monitoring in  Real-time Unobservable Distribution Systems

Prof. Anamitra Pal, Arizona State University

10:30-11:30am ET, Thursday, May 23, 2024
UMBC, 325b ITE and online via WebEx

Due to increasing penetration of solar photovoltaic generation and electric vehicle charging loads, there is a genuine need to closely monitor the voltage over the entire length of the distribution feeder. Smart meters, present only at the terminal nodes of the feeder, cannot fulfill this need; they also have high reporting delays.  Distribution phasor measurement units have the necessary speed, but it is cost- prohibitive to place them in bulk. Thus, monitoring voltages in real-time unobservable distribution systems is challenging. This talk will describe how the use of machine learning can help overcome this challenge by performing high-speed voltage estimation while accounting for the physical attributes and operational characteristics of modern distribution systems. To ensure trust in the machine learning-based approach, formal guarantees of performance will also be provided.

Anamitra Pal is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). His research interests include data analytics with a special emphasis on time-synchronized measurements, artificial intelligence applications in power systems, renewable generation integration studies, and critical infrastructure resilience. Dr. Pal has received the 2018 Young CRITIS Award for his contributions to the field of critical infrastructure protection, the 2019 Outstanding Young Professional Award from the IEEE Phoenix Section, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2022, and the 2023 Centennial Professorship Award from ASU.

This week's UMBC Training Centers AI Lunchbox session is on how new AI systems spread both misinformation and  disinformation. Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information that can include inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or false information and selective or half-truths but is distributed without the intention to mislead.  Disinformation is false information deliberately spread to deceive people.

AI systems have evolved dramatically to the point where anyone can emulate another person's speech, language, and image at little to no cost. A significant downside is the explosion of content meant to deceive others. 

Join the UMBC Training Centers for this free lunchtime session as Ed Melick examines AI disinformation/misinformation and what you can do to inform and protect yourself.

Register here for this session, 12-1pm ET Thursday, May 16, 2024.

Every year, UMBC honors a faculty member with the Presidential Research Professor Award. CSEE professor Tülay Adali was selected this year as UMBC's Presidential Research Professor for 2024-2027.

Professor Adali received the Ph.D. in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, in 1992 and joined the UMBC’s faculty the same year.  In 2015, she was named a Distinguished University Professor in recognition of her outstanding contributions to statistical signal processing and machine learning and excellence in teaching and mentoring the next generation of engineers and scholars who continue to advance the field of signal processing and machine learning.

Dr. Adali's commitment to her professional community is evident in her diverse roles and responsibilities. She currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the prestigious IEEE Signal Processing Magazine and has held significant positions such as the Chair of the IEEE Brain Technical Community and the IEEE Signal Processing Society Vice President for Technical Directions from 2019 to 2022. Her professional involvement includes the organization of many conferences and workshops, including the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, where she has served in various capacities.

Professor Adali is a Fellow of the IEEE, AIMBE, and AAIA, a Fulbright Scholar, and an IEEE SPS Distinguished Lecturer. She has received the SPS Meritorious Service Award, Humboldt Research Award, IEEE SPS Best Paper Award, the SPIE Unsupervised Learning and ICA Pioneer Award, the University System of Maryland Regents' Award for Research, and the NSF CAREER Award.

Her current research interests are in the areas of statistical signal processing, machine learning, and applications in medical image analysis and fusion.

Dr. Adali leads the Machine Learning for Signal Processing laboratory, and primarily with support from the NSF and the NIH, she and her research associates, research students, and network of collaborators develop theory and tools for processing signals that arise in today's growing array of applications and pose challenges for traditional signal processing techniques with a focus on medical image analysis and fusion.
