Virtual Job Fair for New Stony Brook Graduates & Experienced Alumni Using a platform called Career Fair Plus, participants will be able to schedule 10-minute video meetings with participating employers of interest to them. Recent graduates and alumni can register and learn more about how the fair will be run by registering on Handshake.

OVERVIEW


This workshop, Expanding Horizons in AI with HPC, aims to explore the dynamic intersection of AI and HPC, focusing on how advanced computing can accelerate AI research and applications. As AI models become more complex and data-intensive, traditional computing systems struggle to meet the demand for scalability, efficiency, and speed. HPC offers a solution by providing the necessary infrastructure for training large-scale models, enhancing AI algorithms, and enabling breakthroughs in fields such as deep learning, natural language processing, and autonomous systems.

Through a combination of expert presentations and panel discussions, participants will gain insights into the latest developments in AI-HPC integration. Attendees will also engage in discussions on the future trends, challenges, and ethical considerations surrounding the use of HPC in AI.

The workshop is designed for AI researchers, data scientists, engineers, and HPC professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of how high-performance computing can drive innovation and expand the potential of AI in solving complex, real-world problems.

The workshop will be held at the Wang Center at Stony Brook University.

PROGRAM

The program features sessions on HPC Architectures for AI, AI Applications in HPC, LLM's in HPC, and AI in HPC Workflows, and open student presentations. The tentative program and list of confirmed speakers is available at https://you.stonybrook.edu/hpcai/program/.

CALL FOR STUDENT PRESENTATIONS & PARTICIPATION

We are excited to offer students the opportunity to present their work in the area of high-performance scientific computing and artificial intelligence at the workshop. We are calling for students to submit their talk proposals (Name + Title) by April 15 to hpc_ai_workshop@stonybrook.edu. The committee will select the best submission to be presented at the workshop. Accepted speakers will be notified by April 22, 2025.

All students, regardless of whether they are presenting, may reach out to hpc_ai_workshop@stonybrook.edu for financial support to cover travel and lodging costs.

REGISTRATION

Registration is available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/expanding-horizons-in-ai-with-hpc-tickets-1256469978529?aff=oddtdtcreator until May 2nd. The registration fee covers the workshop participation and the social event in the evening of May 9.

Regular registration: $200
Student registration: $100


IMPORTANT NOTE

The registration fee was meant to cover the room rent, catering, and dinner. Thanks to an RF seed grant, we are able to drop the registration fees for SBU students and staff/faculty. We still ask for an informal registration via email to hpc_ai_workshop@stonybrook.edu until April 27, so we can plan for catering and dinner.
Please get in touch with us if you have already registered as an SBU student/faculty/staff member for the workshop so we can handle any reimbursement.

CSE 656 Seminars in Computer Vision - Wednesdays 11:30am-12:50pm, Room NCS 120

The overall purpose of this seminar is to bring together people with interests in Computer Vision theory and techniques and to examine current research issues. This course will be appropriate for people who already took a Computer Vision graduate course or already had research experience in Computer Vision. To enroll in this course, you must either: (1) be in the PhD program or (2) receive permission from the instructors.

Each seminar will consist of multiple short talks (around 10 minutes) by multiple people. Students can register for 1 credit for CSE656. Registered students must attend and present a minimum of 2 or 3 talks. Everyone else is welcome to attend. Fill in https://forms.gle/pCVXovgfMfQwGqG38 to subscribe to our mailing list for further announcement.

DeepMath Conference on the Mathematical Theory of Deep Neural Networks Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs), combined with open, easily-accessible implementations, have made DNNs a powerful, versatile method used widely in both machine learning and neuroscience. These advances in practical results, however, have far outpaced a formal understanding of these networks and their training. The dearth of rigorous analysis for these techniques limits their usefulness in addressing scientific questions and, more broadly, hinders systematic design of the next generation of networks. Recently, long-past-due theoretical results have begun to emerge from researchers in a number of fields. The purpose of this conference is to give visibility to these results, and those that will follow in their wake, to shed light on the properties of large, adaptive, distributed learning architectures, and to revolutionize our understanding of these systems.​​​
