Carrión, H. (CSE) – Deep Learning Algorithms for Medical Image Representation Learning and Understanding
Virtual EventAI-assisted clinical decisions in medicine, and particularly in dermatology, demand fine-grained understanding across diverse skin tones, body sites, and disease types, yet expert-annotated datasets are scarce, demographically imbalanced, and almost devoid of rare presentations. This dissertation develops four deep learning systems for this low-label, low-coverage regime. We introduce HealNet, which learns wound healing stages from […]

Levine, R. (CSE) – Validating GPU Memory Consistency and Safety at Scale
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventGraphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become essential platforms for parallel computing, supporting applications far beyond graphics. Central to GPU programming models is its memory consistency specification (MCS), which defines the semantics of concurrent shared-memory operations and interacts with other language features to determine security guarantees such as memory safety. Understanding whether implementations conform to an […]

Scott, J. (CSE) – Mechanistic Specialization Does Not Guarantee Performance: Evidence from Dual AttentionTransformers
Virtual EventDual Attention Transformers (DATs) extend decoder-only Transformers with a dedicated relational-attention stream, making them a natural architecture for abstract identity rules such asABA and ABB. Surprisingly, we find that comparably sized GPT-2 models outperform DATs on these tasks. We investigate this gap with two complementary mechanistic analyses. First, causal mediation analysis shows that DATs exhibit […]

Kembay, A. (ECE) – Sparse and Continual Foundations for Adaptive General Intelligence
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventWhile the human brain learns continually, mastering new tasks without forgetting the old and adapting to unfamiliar ones from context alone, modern neural networks still lack both. To bridge the gap between biological adaptivity and modern AI, we have established foundational work on sparsity as a computational principle at three levels of neural computation, through […]

July Slugs and Steins with Assistant Professor Aide Macias-Munoz
Virtual EventUnlocking the blueprint for regeneration: Insights from Hydra Regeneration, the ability to heal and regrow lost body parts, varies across species, tissues, and even cell types. To harness regenerative ability for medicine, we need to understand the genetic mechanisms that are similar across regenerating species. My lab uses Hydra, a small freshwater relative of jellyfish, to investigate […]

Calicchio, A. (BMEB) – Comparison of long-read sequencing and analysis methods for transcriptome analysis
Biomedical Sciences Building 575 McLaughlin DriveHybrid EventAlternative splicing, the process generating different RNA isoforms from a single gene, is considered one of the main factors driving increased organism complexity in eukaryotes. Variations in isoform and gene expression produce the functional differences that give rise to different cell types and, in some cases, result in disease. Long-read RNA sequencing has transformed our […]
