SUMMARY:Bridging the world with words: Multilingual and multicultural natural language processing
DESCRIPTION:Despite the rapid advances in Large Language Models (LLM)\, research efforts have historically focused disproportionately on high-resource languages\, particularly English\, leaving over 7\,000 living languages underserved. We address the fundamental challenge of bridging the gap of low-resource language (LRL) translation in multilingual language models. Low-resource languages are typically characterized by a scarcity of both unlabeled and labeled data\, as well as limited tools and models. This talk explores strategies aimed at bridging the gap of low-resource language (LRL) translation in multilingual models\, where LRLs are characterised by a limited scarcity of both unlabeled and labelled data\, as well as limited tools and models.  Speaker(s): Dr. Lee\,   Room: 313\, Bldg: Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence\, 11 Arboretum Ln\, North York\, Ontario\, Canada\, M3N 3A7

SUMMARY:Efficient Computing for AI and Robotics: From Hardware Accelerators to Algorithm Design
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: The compute demands of AI and robotics continue to rise due to the rapidly growing volume of data to be processed; the increasingly complex algorithms for higher quality of results; and the demands for energy efficiency and real-time performance. In this talk\, we will discuss the design of efficient tailored hardware accelerators and the co-design of algorithms and hardware that reduce the energy consumption while delivering swift real-time and robust performance for applications including deep neural networks\, data analytics with sparse tensor algebra\, and autonomous navigation. Throughout the talk\, we will highlight important design principles\, methodologies\, and tools that can facilitate an effective design process and various forms of co-design that can broaden the design space.  BIO: Vivienne Sze is a professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at MIT. She works on computing systems that enable energy-efficient machine learning\, computer vision\, and video compression/processing for a wide range of applications\, including autonomous navigation\, digital health\, and the internet of things. She is widely recognized for her leading work in these areas and has received awards\, including faculty awards from Google\, Facebook\, and Qualcomm\, the Symposium on VLSI Circuits Best Student Paper Award\, the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference Outstanding Invited Paper Award\, and the IEEE Micro Top Picks Award. As a member of the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding\, she received the Primetime Engineering Emmy Award for the development of the High-Efficiency Video Coding video compression standard. She is a co-editor of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC): Algorithms and Architectures (Springer\, 2014) and co-author of Efficient Processing of Deep Neural Networks (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture\, Morgan Claypool\, 2020).
