Region 1

September 21 through November 2, 2024. Six Saturdays 1:30-4:30pm (9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/19, 10/26, 11/2). The IEEE North Jersey Section Communications Society Chapter is offering a course entitled "DEEP LEARNING WITH APPLICATIONS". Deep learning is a transformative field within artificial intelligence and machine learning that has revolutionized our ability to solve complex problems in various domains, including computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. This hands-on course on deep learning is designed to provide students with an understanding how these amazing successes are made possible by drawing inspiration from the way that brains, both human and otherwise, operate. Students will gain a comprehensive foundation in the principles, techniques, and applications of deep neural networks. Learning how to solve real data-set based applications will teach students how to really apply deep learning with Python programming software. Participants will be asked to design and train deep neural networks to perform tasks such as image classification using commonly available data sets. However, participants are encouraged to apply the techniques from this course to other data sets according to their interests. Discuss with the instructor in order to propose your own project. More importantly, this will set the foundations for understanding and developing Generative AI applications. The IEEE North Jersey Section's Communications Society Chapter can arrange for providing IEEE CEUs - Continuing Education Units (for a $5 charge) upon completion of the course. Course prices: $75 for Undergrad/Grad/Life/ComSoc members, $100 for IEEE members, $150 for non-IEEE members Co-sponsored by: Education Committee Speaker(s): Thomas Long, Agenda: 1. Introduction to Neural Networks: Explore the fundamental concepts of artificial neural networks, backpropagation, activation functions, and gradient descent, laying the groundwork for deep learning understanding. 2. Introduction to PyTorch: Learn how to implement and train neural networks using PyTorch one of the most popular deep learning frameworks. Understand tensors. 3. Computer Vision Applications: Apply deep learning to computer vision problems, including image classification and object detection using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) 4. Training and Optimizing Deep Neural Networks: Study techniques for training deep neural networks effectively, including optimization algorithms, weight initialization, regularization, and dropout. 5. Sequential Data Analysis: Explore how deep learning is used to analyze sequential data using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). In particular, explore how neural networks are used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as sentiment analysis and machine translation. 6. Generative AI: Overview of generative ai techniques that leverage the patterns present in a dataset to generate new content. Applications of generative ai include large language models such as ChatGPT and image generation models such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. This course assumes a basic understanding of machine learning concepts and programming skills in Python. Familiarity with linear algebra and calculus will be beneficial, but not mandatory. Statistical software (Python, Scikit-learn) and Deep Learning Frameworks (Pytorch, TensorFlow) will be used throughout the course for the exploration of different learning algorithms and for the creation of appropriate graphics for analysis. Learning objectives: Subjects covered include these and other deep learning related materials: artificial neural networks, training deep neural networks, RNN, CNN, image recognition, natural language processing, GANs, data processing techniques, and NN architectures. The course is intended to be subdivided into 3-hour sessions. Each lecture is further subdivided into lecture, guided and independent project based exercises to build experience with hands-on techniques. This course will be held at FDU - Teaneck, NJ campus. Checks should NOT be mailed to this address. Can bring checks in person or use online payments at registration. Email the organizer for any questions about course, registration, or other issues. Technical Requirements: Students will need access to the Python programming language. In addition to a standard Python installation, most programming exercises will use the package Scikit-learn. Basic programming skills and some familiarity with the Python language are assummed. Students are expected to be able to bring a laptop onto which most of these libraries can be pre-installed using python's pip install. Most of the coding in this course will use the Python programming language. Coding examples and labs will be distributed in the form of Juypter notebooks. In addition to standard Python, most programming exercises will use either the PyTorch or TensorFlow libraries. Books and other resources will be referenced.

This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to help you dramatically improve your ability to use hybrid work as an instrument to improve retention and productivity while cutting costs. Many leaders rely on traditional office-centric collaboration and leadership styles in managing hybrid teams. Yet research conclusively demonstrates that, instead of incrementally improving on the old-school office-centric approach, the best outcomes in managing hybrid teams come from adopting a flexible hybrid-first work model. Doing so results in much higher retention and productivity, reduces costs, and boosts engagement, innovation, collaboration, and risk mitigation. Through adopting hybrid work best practices based on this training, you will empower yourself and your team to maximize retention, productivity, and cost savings in our increasingly-disrupted future of work. All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams. If you would like to get a complimentary copy of Dr. Gleb Tsipursky's book please fill out your information (https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/event/)."

Abstract: As device technologies evolve and continue to shrink, manufacturing methods are also being stressed, which can impact yields due to ESD performance. ESD test standards are continuing to evolve as well to meet these changes. However as complex devices such as 3D packing with 1000s of Die to Die interconnects become more widely used, this is challenging the “standard” way ESD testing is performed. Another point of interest for system level testing, is call for a Direct Pin Injection test method. Although the most widely used system level testing standard, IEC 61000-4-2 standard recommends not performing testing on pins of a connector, many manufacturers are being forced to perform this test. We’ll discuss the Industry Councils on ESD Target Levels approaches to this testing requirement.
