Abstract
This week we continue our introduction to faculty research topics. We encourage all faculty members and PhD students to attend and hope these presentations would help students meet faculty members and get exposed to the full range of the research portfolio in our department. We feature the following three speakers this week:
Presentation #1
"Research Overview for CDUX: Computing and Data Understanding at eXtreme Scale" by Associate Professor Hank Childs
Abstract
The CDUX research group tackles a variety of problems in the areas of visualization, analysis, and high-performance computing. In this talk, I will describe some background that motivates our work and research directions that we are pursuing to solve them.Presentation #2
"Semantic Data Mining and Its Applications" by Associate Professor Deijing Dou
Abstract
Semantic data mining refers to the data mining tasks that systematically incorporate domain knowledge, especially formal semantics, into the process. The use of ontologies in mining healthcare and medicine data is a natural fit. In this talk, I focus on the use of formal ontologies in two data mining and deep learning tasks in health datasets.
Presentation #3
"Understanding and Optimizing the Behavior of High-Performance Software" by Associate Professor Boyana Norris
Abstract
This talk briefly overviews the research in the High Performance Computing Laboratory (HPCL), which pans several HPC areas including performance and power analysis, modeling and optimization, embeddable domain-specific languages for multi-target autotuning, and static source code analysis for detecting security vulnerabilities.
