SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Neurosymbolic AI: from research to industry
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Luis Lamb\, Catholic Institute of Technology\n\nAbstract:\nNeurosymbolic AI brings together the statistical nature of machine learning with the formal reasoning capabilities of symbolic AI. It seeks to offer a balanced approach to contemporary AI technologies\, by combining the ability to learn from data\, with the capacity to reason upon knowledge acquired from an environment. The main criticism of neural machine learning lies in its lack of explainability and semantics\, which are key requirements in safety-critical applications\, yet inherent strengths of logic-based methods. Recently\, several corporations have publicly announced products and technologies grounded in neurosymbolic AI methodologies. This talk provided a concise review of the foundations\, frameworks and tools underlying neurosymbolic AI\, along with illustrative applications. It concludes by highlighting current trends and research directions in the field.\n\nBio:\nLuis Lamb is Professor of Computer Science and Vice President of Research at the Catholic Institute of Technology. His research interests include: Artificial Intelligence\, Neurosymbolic AI\, Innovation Strategies\, and Applied Logics. Lamb has co-authored two research monographs\, including Neural-Symbolic Cognitive Reasoning\, with d’Avila Garcez and Gabbay (Springer 2009). He organized two Dagstuhl Seminars on Neursymbolic AI\, published widely in AI\, and has worked in the area for over 20 years.  Lamb also has extensive experience leading research planning\, strategy\, and university wide research & infrastructure grant applications\, and strategic academic-industry partnerships. He has been a Professor in Brazil and has experience in industry as a former Senior Manager of AI and Machine Learning at Boeing. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Imperial College London and an MBA from MIT.\n\nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani\n\nLocation: Engineering 2\, E2-180\n\n*Refreshments such as coffee and pastries will be provided.\n\nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3

SUMMARY:Neolithic by Sea: the social ecology of the spread of farming in the Adriatic - a view from Dalmatia
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sarah B. McClure (UC Santa Barbara) will present Neolithic by Sea: the social ecology of the spread of farming in the Adriatic – a view from Dalmatia at the Archaeology and Biological Anthropology (Arch/BioAnth) Lunch Talk on Wednesday\, November 12th at noon in 261\, Social Sciences 1. \nPresentation Abstract: The last 20 years of research have provided new insights on Mesolithic foragers and early Neolithic farmers in the Adriatic. Excavations\, material analyses\, and the application of new methodologies have characterized a diversity of late Mesolithic and early Neolithic lifeways and the role of trans-Adriatic interactions for the spread of farming. Discoveries of underwater sites have also highlighted some of the taphonomic challenges for Mesolithic and Neolithic sites presented by post-glacial environmental change. This presentation highlights our current understanding of the Mesolithic to Neolithic transition in the Adriatic and the roles played by foraging populations\, social interactions\, and environment for the spread of farming beginning 8\,000 years ago. Our research on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia seeks to characterize Neolithic farming societies and ultimately explore the processes underlying the eventual dominance of domestic plant and animal-based subsistence in the region. \nAbout the Presenter: Sarah B. McClure is a Professor of Anthropology\, Director of the Mediterranean Prehistory and Paleoecology Laboratory\, and Associate Dean in the Division of Undergraduate Education at UC Santa Barbara. She is also a National Geographic Explorer and Public Voices Fellow of the OpEd Project and UCSB.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Winnie Wong—VMCC Series
DESCRIPTION:In this public talk\, Winnie Wong presents and discusses her most recent book\, The Many Names of Anonymity: Portraitists of the Canton Trade. She explores two countervailing urgencies in contemporary cultural politics: the drive to recognize all individuals as artists so that they may be granted the rights and privileges of authorship; and\, at the same time\, the inadequacy of the modern figure of “the artist” to contain the ingenuity\, imagination\, and originality of anonymous workers. It does so by focusing on a long marginalized but ubiquitous genre of painting: portraits produced by Chinese artisans in the port of Guangzhou for European merchants at the height of the Qing dynasty. In this relationship\, makers are anonymized\, while merchants’ lives are preserved in vivid detail\, but portraiture occasions the empirical scene of their encounter. This book charts a framework for understanding visual production and trade across overlapping imperial spaces\, and demonstrates how contemporary art historical inquiry can yet decouple authorial names from authorial works\, a step necessary to looking anew at anonymity\, multiplicity\, and the ingenuity of nameless artisans. \nWinnie Wong is a professor of rhetoric at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is an art historian with a special interest in fakes\, forgeries and counterfeits. \nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC) series.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Open seating/admission (no ticket or registration required)\n– FREE and open to the public.\n– Located at Porter College D245\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n– Wed.\, Nov 12: Book Talk with Winnie Wong\n– Additional dates to be announced\n—\nPARKING\n– Lot 124 & 125 are the closest parking lots to the event\n– Parking by permit or ParkMobile\n– TAPS provides additional parking information\n—\nABOUT THE SERIES\nThis event is presented as part of the Visual & Media Cultures Colloquium (VMCC)\, an annual lecture series that brings cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad range of subjects related to visual and media culture. The series is co-sponsored with the graduate programs in the History of Art & Visual Culture (HAVC) and the Film & Digital Media departments. Each year\, the students and a faculty coordinator are responsible for selecting\, inviting and hosting speakers from a list of suggested names submitted by their peers and HAVC faculty. Together they share the unique challenge and opportunity of creating a program that brings to campus an array of cutting-edge scholars to speak on a broad spectrum of subjects.\n—\nImage Credit: Peabody Essex Museum\n—\nThis program is open to all members of the public consistent with state and federal law.
