    Abstract: Images are everywhere, especially images of the real world, and visual computing is important both for reconstructing useful models from these images and for providing us humans with interactive tools for visualization and analysis. These methods aid real world sensing and measurement, scientific and medical imaging, and media and the arts. The past three […]

  • Building and Deploying Large Language Model Applications Efficiently and Verifiably | Ying Sheng

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

    The applications of large language models (LLMs) are increasingly complex and diverse, necessitating efficient and reliable frameworks for building and deploying them. In this talk, I will begin with algorithms and systems for serving LLMs for everyone (FlexGen, S-LoRA, VTC), highlighting the growing trend of personalized LLM services. My work addresses the need to run LLMs locally for isolated individual needs. It also tackles the problem of efficiency and service fairness when resource sharing among many users is required. Once we have efficient deployment, a primary concern is the reliability of generation. The second part of this talk aims to address this issue by exploring verifiable code generation. To achieve this, I adopt tools in formal verification to facilitate LLMs in generating correctness certificates alongside other artifacts (Clover). Finally, I will touch on future research avenues, such as integrating formal methods with LLMs and developing programming systems for generative AI.

  • Forecasting the Antibody Response against the Influenza Virus | Tal Einav

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

    Abstract: Although influenza is one of the best-studied viruses, vaccine effectiveness remains around 20-50%. A sizable fraction of people exhibit a weak or short-lived antibody response following vaccination, yet we cannot identify these individuals a priori nor ascertain whether a different vaccine would have served them better. In this talk, we demonstrate how machine learning can […]

  • Revisiting Scalarization in Multi-Task Learning | Prof. Han Zhao

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

    Title: Revisiting Scalarization in Multi-Task Learning Abstract: Linear scalarization, i.e., combining all loss functions by a weighted sum, has been the default choice in the literature of multi-task learning (MTL) since its inception. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in developing Specialized Multi-Task Optimizers (SMTOs) that treat MTL as a multi-objective optimization problem. […]
