Announcement of the EECS Distinguished Alumni awardees - Professors Tsu-Jae King Liu and Michael Franklin ![youtube logo](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/images/youtube-logo.png) |
09:00 - 09:30am |
Computational Illumination for 3D Phase Microscopy - Professor Laura Waller ![youtube logo](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/images/youtube-logo.png)
With a simple hardware modification to a commercial optical microscope, I'll show how computational imaging approaches enable very high resolution optical imaging across large volumes and depths. Our setup exploits multiplexing and compressed sensing ideas to reconstruct multi-Gigapixel 3D phase images with real-time capture and inexpensive hardware. |
09:30 - 10:00am |
Making Visual Data a First-Class Citizen - Professor Alexei Efros ![youtube logo](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/images/youtube-logo.png)
Visual data is the biggest Big Data there is (Cisco projects that it will soon account for over 90% of internet traffic), but currently, the main way we can access it is via associated keywords. I will talk about some efforts towards indexing, retrieving, and mining visual data directly, without the use of keywords. |
10:00 - 10:30am |
Pipelines for Machine Learning at Scale - Professor Benjamin Recht ![youtube logo](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/images/youtube-logo.png)
Recent advances linking machine learning and systems research have enabled the rapid solution of common data analysis problems such as regression, classification, and clustering on terabytes of data. However, complex tasks that chain together multiple information modalities, learning algorithms, and algorithmic backends are still difficult to engineer at large scales. I'll describe some of the challenges facing complex machine learning systems and notes some possible ways forward via collaborative research between systems engineers and machine learning theorists. |
10:30 - 11:00am |
Interaction Breakthroughs in Wrangling Data - Professor Joe Hellerstein ![youtube logo](http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/images/youtube-logo.png)
While often described as having one of the sexiest jobs today, Data Scientists report spending the majority of their time “wrangling” data, rather than performing analysis per se. This kind of drudgery can add significant friction to data science projects, and limits the ability of less technical people to work with data. It doesn’t have to be that way. I will give an overview of recent work in research and industry that addresses these issues with a combination of new interaction models, domain-specific language design, and predictive methods. |

12:30 - 01:00pm |
Box lunches will be provided after the morning session in the Gabarini Lounge (outside of Sibley Auditorium), before the research centers open house. Lunch eating areas will be available in the Garbarini Lounge, the Wozniak Lounge (4th floor, Soda Hall) the TI lounge area (2nd floor of Cory Hall) and Room 400 (4th floor, Cory Hall). Due to the volume of lunches, your preference cannot be guaranteed. Lunches will be first come, first served. Registration for lunches closed Friday, January 23, 2015.
