Foundations of Computational Science August 29-30, 2019 Thursday, August 29 Time Speaker Title/Abstract 8:30 - 9:30am Breakfast 9:30 - 9:40am Opening Explainable AI and Multimedia Research Abstract: AI as a concept has been around since the 1950’s. With the recent advancements in machine learning algorithms, and the availability of big data and large computing resources, the scene is set for AI to be used in many more systems and applications which will profoundly impact society. The current deep learning based AI systems are mostly in black box form and are often non-explainable. Though it has high performance, it is also known to make occasional fatal mistakes. 9:30 - 10:05am Tat Seng Chua This has limited the applications of AI, especially in mission critical applications. In this talk, I will present the current state-of-the arts in explainable AI, which holds promise to helping humans better understand and interpret the decisions made by the black-box AI models. This is followed by our preliminary research on explainable recommendation, relation inference in videos, as well as leveraging prior domain knowledge, information theoretic principles, and adversarial algorithms to achieving explainable framework. I will also discuss future research towards quality, fairness and robustness of explainable AI.

Artificial Intelligence research for engineering design By Charles Xie Imagine a high school classroom in 2030. AI is one of the three most promising areas for which Bill Gates Students are challenged to design an said earlier this year he would drop out of college again if he were a young student today. The victory of Google’s AlphaGo against engineering system that meets the needs of a top human Go player in 2016 was a landmark in the history of their community. They work with advanced AI. The game of Go is considered a difficult challenge because computer-aided design (CAD) software that the number of legal positions on a 19×19 grid is estimated to be leverages the power of scientific simulation, 2×10170, far more than the total number of atoms in the observ- mixed reality, and cloud computing.

While AlphaGo may be only a cool tool needed to complete an engineering type of weak AI that plays Go at present, scientists believe that its development will engender technologies that eventually find design project is seamlessly integrated into applications in other fields. the CAD platform to streamline the learning process.

An Evaluation of Tensorflow As a Programming Framework for HPC Applications
DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2018 An Evaluation of TensorFlow as a Programming Framework for HPC Applications WEI DER CHIEN KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE An Evaluation of TensorFlow as a Programming Framework for HPC Applications WEI DER CHIEN Master in Computer Science Date: August 28, 2018 Supervisor: Stefano Markidis Examiner: Erwin Laure Swedish title: En undersökning av TensorFlow som ett utvecklingsramverk för högpresterande datorsystem School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science iii Abstract In recent years, deep-learning, a branch of machine learning gained increasing popularity due to their extensive applications and perfor- mance. At the core of these application is dense matrix-matrix multipli- cation. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are commonly used in the training process due to their massively parallel computation capabili- ties. In addition, specialized low-precision accelerators have emerged to specifically address Tensor operations. Software frameworks, such as TensorFlow have also emerged to increase the expressiveness of neural network model development. In TensorFlow computation problems are expressed as Computation Graphs where nodes of a graph denote operation and edges denote data movement between operations. With increasing number of heterogeneous accelerators which might co-exist on the same cluster system, it became increasingly difficult for users to program efficient and scalable applications. TensorFlow provides a high level of abstraction and it is possible to place operations of a computation graph on a device easily through a high level API. In this work, the usability of TensorFlow as a programming framework for HPC application is reviewed. -

Fault Tolerance and Re-Training Analysis on Neural Networks
FAULT TOLERANCE AND RE-TRAINING ANALYSIS ON NEURAL NETWORKS by ABHINAV KURIAN GEORGE B.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering Amrita Vishwa Vidhyapeetham, Kerala, 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Computer Engineering, College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Cincinnati, Ohio 2019 Thesis Committee: Chair: Wen-Ben Jone, Ph.D. Member: Carla Purdy, Ph.D. Member: Ranganadha Vemuri, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In the current age of big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have gained much popularity. Due to the increasing demand for such applications, neural networks are being targeted toward hardware solutions. Owing to the shrinking feature size, number of physical defects are on the rise. These growing number of defects are preventing designers from realizing the full potential of the on-chip design. The challenge now is not only to find solutions that balance high-performance and energy-efficiency but also, to achieve fault-tolerance of a computational model. Neural computing, due to its inherent fault tolerant capabilities, can provide promising solutions to this issue. The primary focus of this thesis is to gain deeper understanding of fault tolerance in neural network hardware. As a part of this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of fault tolerance by exploring effects of faults on popular neural models: multi-layer perceptron model and convolution neural network. We built the models based on conventional 64-bit floating point representation. In addition to this, we also explore the recent 8-bit integer quantized representation. A fault injector model is designed to inject stuck-at faults at random locations in the network. -

The intention is to support such an SG, and describe the scope of such an SG. This is in terms of potential work resulting in papers submitted for future C++ Standards, or collaboration with other SGs. We will also propose ongoing teleconferences, meeting frequency and locations, as well as outreach to ML data scientists, conferences, and liaison with other Machine Learning groups such as at Khronos, and ISO. As of the SAN meeting, this group has been officially created as SG19, and we will begin teleconferences immediately, after the US thanksgiving, and after NIPS. -
Julia: a Fresh Approach to Numerical Computing∗
SIAM REVIEW c 2017 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 59, No. 1, pp. 65–98 Julia: A Fresh Approach to Numerical Computing∗ Jeff Bezansony Alan Edelmanz Stefan Karpinskix Viral B. Shahy Abstract. Bridging cultures that have often been distant, Julia combines expertise from the diverse fields of computer science and computational science to create a new approach to numerical computing. Julia is designed to be easy and fast and questions notions generally held to be \laws of nature" by practitioners of numerical computing: 1. High-level dynamic programs have to be slow. 2. One must prototype in one language and then rewrite in another language for speed or deployment. 3. There are parts of a system appropriate for the programmer, and other parts that are best left untouched as they have been built by the experts. We introduce the Julia programming language and its design|a dance between special- ization and abstraction. Specialization allows for custom treatment. Multiple dispatch, a technique from computer science, picks the right algorithm for the right circumstance. Abstraction, which is what good computation is really about, recognizes what remains the same after differences are stripped away. Abstractions in mathematics are captured as code through another technique from computer science, generic programming. Julia shows that one can achieve machine performance without sacrificing human con- venience. Key words.
