Keynote: “Artificial Intelligence: past, present, future.?”
Abstract: Deep Learning
and neural networks are quickly becoming a dominant unified algorithm to
extract information from unstructured data. Using standard gradient-descent
learning algorithms and scalable models, they have been a revolution in
image understanding, video summarization, captioning, scene understanding,
speech recognition, text translation, and many more success stories coming
on a almost daily basis! We will discuss how we can progress the field into
more general artificial intelligence, so that these algorithms can continue
to solve problems for us and take on more and more complex applications.

“RISC-V Challenges and
Possibilities.”
Abstract: The talk will
focus on changes in technology, applications, and economics of the SoC
ecosystem, and what it will likely mean for the realization of these devices
in the next decade. It will examine the way process technology, packaging
