COLLOQUIUM TALKS

APRIL 19 COLLOQUIUM: "THE MANY FACETS OF THE QUANTUM ADIABATIC THEOREM"

In this talk, we will discuss the evolution of this theorem and the surprising
developments of the 1980s that led to the concept of the geometric phase. We
will use simple models to demonstrate how QAC is applied in
applications. Additionally, we will explore how the discovery of geometric
phases has led to the idea of quantum holonomic computing.






APRIL 12 COLLOQUIUM: "LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND OUR MULTIMODAL WORLD WITH MINIMAL
SUPERVISION"

In this talk, I will present our recent research on creating AI systems that can
learn to understand our multimodal world with minimal human supervision. I will
focus on systems that can understand images and text, and also touch upon those
that utilize video, audio, and lidar. 




MARCH 29 COLLOQUIUM: "EMISSION FACTOR SELECTION WITH NEURAL LANGUAGE MODELS"

To avoid repetitive analysis, environmental impact factors (EIF) of common
materials and products are published for use by LCA experts. However, finding
appropriate EIFs for even a single product under study can require hundreds of
hours of manual work, especially for complex products. We present Flamingo, an
algorithm that leverages natural language machine learning (ML) models to
automatically identify an appropriate EIF given a text description.
