Automated Construction Performance Monitoring and Operations through Advances in Computer Vision, Robotics, and BIMProf. Kevin Han is the Edward I. Weisiger Distinguished Associate Professor at NC State University. In this presentation, he will introduce ongoing research at the Construction Automation and Robotics Lab (CARL), which he directs. CARL focuses on the development and validation of advanced computer vision and machine learning analytics that ...
Lexie is an entomology PhD candidate interested in the impact of microbes on bee health. She received a BS in Biology (focus evolution, ecology, and behavior) and a BSA in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. As an undergraduate, she investigated the spatial distribution of bacteria within the ...
Abstracting human preferences into computational objectives is essential for aligning AI systems, yet fundamentally challenging due to the complexity and context-dependence of human values. This talk examines how preferences are captured through human annotation and translated into reward models for reinforcement learning from human feedback. While enabling state-of-the-art chatbots, I'll ...
The ground state of real geometrically frustrated magnets is a long-standing puzzle. We recently showed that the spin glass state, ubiquitous in 3D Heisenberg systems, is due to defect-related quasispins and that defect-free systems develop a previously unrecognized energy scale, T*, significantly below the mean field energy. The entropy loss ...
Structure and Function of Mammalian SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling Complexes in Health and DiseaseATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes are heterogeneous, multi-component molecular machines that govern genomic accessibility and gene expression and are frequently perturbed in human disease. This presentation highlights biochemical and structural advances that have enabled the mechanistic understanding of mSWI/SNF complex activities and functional assignment of mSWI/SNF-transcription factor interactions in developmental and ...
Expansion of helium gas through a cold nozzle generates a beam of very cold superfluid nanodroplets. If this beam passes through dilute atomic or molecular vapor, one or more “dopants” can become embedded in each droplet and are promptly cooled to their lowest vibrational and low rotational states. Very cold ...
Will a collaboration of humans & technology be successful in the long term? Will it become the savior of health care or just another pain?Artificial intelligence can now match and sometimes surpass physicians in areas such as diagnosis to empathy. What does that mean for doctors, patients, and the future ...
