  • HDSI Distingushed Seminar – Yisong Yue

    Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, 92093, United States

    TITLE Design, Measure, Interpret: Foundation Models in the Scientific Loop ABSTRACT "As foundation models become powerful scientific priors, a central question emerges: how can they drive the full cycle of discovery—from designing experiments to interpreting results? This talk presents a probabilistic framework that unites experiment design and inverse problems under a common foundation model. I […]

  • HDSI Distinguished Seminar – Ila Fiete

    Seminar Series
    Qualcomm Conference Room at JSOE Jacobs Hall, 9736 Engineers Ln, La Jolla, San Diego, CA, United States

    Speaker: Ila Fiete Date & Time: Mon Dec 8th, 2:00pm NEW LOCATION:  Jacobs Hall, Qualcomm Conference Center B, 1st Floor Abstract: Modular and hierarchical structures are ubiquitous in the brain, and the decomposition of tasks into invariant subfactors of variation are arguably the basis for robust, efficient learning, compositional generalization, and lack of forgetting. In this talk, I […]

  • HDSI Seminar Series – Ann Kennedy – Latent state inference from neural dynamics and behavior

    Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Talk Time: Mon Jan 12th, 2026 | 2:00pm Location: Data Science Building 1st Floor, Room 123 Talk Abstract As we interact with the world around us, we experience a constant stream of sensory inputs, and must generate a constant stream of behavioral actions. What makes brains more than simple input-output machines is their capacity to […]

  • HDSI Seminar Series – Stephen Pizer – A geometric model for anatomic objects targeted for statistical analysis

    Computer Science & Engineering Building (CSE), Room 1242 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Title: A geometric model for anatomic objects targeted for statistical analysis Speaker: Stephen Pizer, Kenan Professor of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Abstract: A novel representation called the evolutionary s-rep represents anatomic objects by encompassing an unusually rich collection of geometric features, image intensity based features, genetic features, etc.  It can […]

  • HDSI Seminar Series – Xiuyuan Cheng – Wasserstein-regularized learning via neural transport maps: from gradient flow to minimax

    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, 92093, United States

    Speaker: Xiuyuan Cheng Date & Time: Monday February 9th, 2:00pm Location: HDSI Multipurpose Room 123 Talk Title: Wasserstein-regularized learning via neural transport maps: from gradient flow to minimax Abstract: Wasserstein regularization has become a common tool in learning problems over distributions, while its practical computation remains challenging, especially in high dimensions. This talk presents a framework for Wasserstein-regularized learning […]

  • HDSI Seminar – Zhijian Liu – Efficient AI in the Era of Large Models

    Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute Room 123, 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA

    Speaker: Zhijian Liu Date & Time: Wednesday February 25th, 2:00pm Location: HDSI Multipurpose Room 123 Talk Title: Efficient AI in the Era of Large Models Abstract: Large foundation models now deliver remarkable capabilities in understanding, reasoning, and acting across digital and physical domains. Yet their computational cost has become the primary bottleneck to scaling and […]

  • HDSI Seminar – Emily Aiken – Empirically understanding the relative value of prediction in allocation

    Seminar Series
    Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), Room 123 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Speaker: Emily Aiken Date & Time: Monday March 2nd, 2:00pm Location: HDSI Multipurpose Room 123   Talk Title: Empirically understanding the relative value of prediction in allocation Abstract: Public institutions increasingly use prediction to allocate scarce resources. From a design perspective, better predictions compete with other investments, such as expanding capacity or improving treatment quality. Here, the big question […]
