Speech Title: "Brain Machine Interface Systems – Interpreting and Translating Thoughts into Actions"
Abstract: Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) are systems that translate the user’s intention coded by brain activity measures into a communication and control signal without using the activity of any muscles or peripheral nerves. The decoded neural patterns can potentially be employed to substitute motor capabilities (e.g., brain-controlled prosthetics for amputees or patients with spinal cord injuries, brain-controlled wheelchairs); improve motor and cognitive (attention, memory, emotion, etc.) using neurofeedback training. BMI has emerging applications in other domains that include (but are not limited to) autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, biometric identification, brain fingerprinting, neuromarketing, neuroergonomics (evaluation of cognitive workload, stress, vigilance and fatigue), training of personnel who are required to perform zero-error-tolerance operations (aircraft pilots, air traffic controllers, soldiers), performance error-based reinforcement learning, etc. This talk will commence by providing an overview of BMI, signal processing & machine learning tools, and design considerations for BMI. Further, the talk will cover some selected non-invasive BMI research work from our group (with video demonstrations), which includes decoding of movement kinematics from EEG, real-time closed-loop error-related potential-based self-correcting BMI, EEG-based neuroimaging, brainwave-controlled computer games for improving cognitive skills, biometric identification, image and audio familiarity detection, etc..

Speech Title: "Challenges in Cloud Continuum Computing for Hyper-scale AI Services"
Abstract: Most of the major cloud service providers are launching AI services on conventional cloud services (PaaS & IaaS). Many computing HW resources (such as CPU, VPU, TPU,GPU,FPGA) are used to train large scale AI models handling huge amounts of data including multimodal information. Many companies also have been trying to incorporate AI services fastly to have marketing advantages among competitors using cloud computing infrastructures. Thus, cloud computing faces several issues to provide energy efficient management, highly scalable and new architectural resources for compute and store. Also distributed and parallel ML(machine Learning) technology is implemented to provide fast response. Thus analysis of current computing trends in cloud computing tells many new challenges considering future AI services on cloud computing. Therefore, this talk introduces trends of cloud computing, and discusses challenging issues in the cloud continuum as emerging infrastructure including diverse cloud resources for future AI services: training and serving of hyperscale AI model.
