Speaker: Arash Behboodi, Director of Engineering at Qualcomm AI ResearchDate and Time: Wednesday, December 18, 2024, 10-11amLocation: BA-4164Abstract: Conformal Prediction (CP) is a distribution-free uncertainty estimation framework that constructs prediction sets guaranteed to contain the true answer with a user-specified probability. Intuitively, the size of the prediction set encodes a general notion of uncertainty, with larger sets associated with higher degrees of uncertainty. In this work, we leverage information theory to connect conformal prediction to other notions of uncertainty. More precisely, we prove three different ways to upper bound the intrinsic uncertainty, as described by the conditional entropy of the target variable given the inputs, by combining CP with information theoretical inequalities. Moreover, we demonstrate two direct and useful applications of such connection between conformal prediction and information theory: (i) more principled and effective conformal training objectives that generalize previous approaches and enable end-to-end training of machine learning models from scratch, and (ii) a natural mechanism to incorporate side information into conformal prediction. We empirically validate both applications in centralized and federated learning settings, showing our theoretical results translate to lower inefficiency (average prediction set size) for popular CP <a href="http://methods.Bio:" target="_blank" title="methods.Bio:">methods.Bio: Arash Behboodi is a machine learning research scientist and Director of Engineering at Qualcomm AI Research.

AbstractWe are seeing different communication protocols used in different industries. With the advancement of Ethernet, many of the old protocols have disappeared and made room for a handful of protocols that are being used more commonly across multiple <a href="http://industries.On" target="_blank" title="industries.On">industries.On the other hand, with the recent expansion of the Internet in every sector of our society, we are seeing a wave of new protocols. While some of these new protocols are used for IoT applications, several others are being developed to support new industries such as renewable energy and distributed Energy <a href="http://Resources.In" target="_blank" title="Resources.In">Resources.In this presentation, we go over a few conventional protocols and open the floor for discussion on discussing new protocols that have been developed in recent <a href="http://years.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="years.Speaker(s):">years.Speaker(s): Matt M.

Concrete encased electrodes for grounding electrical power systems, also called Ufer grounds, are highlyeffective grounding systems when installed correctly. James will explain what constitutes a Ufer ground and how onecan be easily constructed in accordance with the IEEE Standard 142-2007 (the Green Book) and the NationalElectrical Code (NEC). He will also explain what common errors and myths surround Ufer grounds as well as an errorin the IEEE Green Book, and errors in interpreting the NEC. James will also explain how Ufer grounds are essentialto effective lightning protection systems. James’ background as an experienced construction electrician and a B.S.Civil Engineer makes him uniquely qualified to explain civil/structural concepts and practices, and how these arerelevant to Electrical <a href="http://Engineers.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="Engineers.Co-sponsored">Engineers.Co-sponsored by: Mehdi NarimaniSpeaker(s): , James J.
