SUMMARY:Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: Extended Convex Lifting for Policy Optimization in Control
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Direct policy search has achieved great empirical success in reinforcement learning. Many recent studies have revisited its theoretical foundation for continuous control\, which reveals elegant nonconvex geometry in various benchmark problems. In this talk\, we introduce an Extended Convex Lifting (ECL) framework\, which reveals hidden convexity in classical optimal and robust control problems from a modern optimization perspective. Our ECL offers a bridge between nonconvex policy optimization and convex reformulations. Despite non-convexity and non-smoothness\, the existence of an ECL not only reveals that minimizing the original function is equivalent to a convex problem\, but also certifies a class of first-order non-degenerate stationary points to be globally optimal. This ECL framework encompasses many benchmark control problems\, including LQR\, LQG\, state-feedback\, and output-feedback H-infinity robust control. We believe that the ECL framework may be of independent interest for analyzing nonconvex problems beyond control. \n\nYang Zheng is an Assistant Professor in the ECE Department at UC San Diego. His research focuses on control theory\, convex and nonconvex optimization\, and their applications to autonomous vehicles and traffic systems. He received his DPhil (Ph.D.) in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford in 2019\, and his B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University in 2013 and 2015\, respectively. His work has been recognized with several awards\, including the 2019 European Ph.D. Award on Control for Complex and Heterogeneous Systems\, the 2022 Best Paper Award from IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems\, the 2023 Best Graduate Teacher Award from UC San Diego’s ECE Department\, the 2024 NSF CAREER Award\, and the 2025 Donald P. Eckman Award from the American Automatic Control Council. \nZoom: https://bit.ly/Opt-AI-ML

SUMMARY:The Future We Are Building: Innovating with Responsible AI

SUMMARY:Co-Designing Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure for Computing Continuum: Overview of the Activities at the NSF-AI Institute ICICLE
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every sector of society. However\, there is a massive and ever-growing gap between available AI techniques and their availability to end users across a range of application domains. This talk will start with an overview of the ICICLE (Intelligent CyberInfrastructure (CI) with Computational Learning in the Environment)\, an NSF-AI Institute\, to address these challenges. We will demonstrate how ICICLE seeks to be the first and foremost edge-to-center AI-as-a-service enterprise for the emerging computing continuum\, advancing foundational AI research by fostering next-gen CI for AI to support the wholesome democratization of AI through responsible plug-and-play\, and extending the usability and usefulness of AI to the wider population. An overview of the co-designing activities at the institute spanning multiple directions\, CI (high performance computing\, networking)\, AI (statistical machine learning\, computer vision\, knowledge graphs\, model commons and conversational AI)\, data privacy and trust\, and three leading use-inspired sciences (Animal Ecology\, Digital Agriculture\, and Smart Foodsheds) will be highlighted. Overall\, the talk will demonstrate the feasibility of co-designing intelligent CI for AI which can be easily adapted to various parts of the computing continuum and serve multiple use-inspired domains.

SUMMARY:China’s New Five-Year Plan: Strategy\, Growth and Its Global Role
DESCRIPTION:Why attend? \n\n\n\nAs China prepares to unveil its 15th five-year plan (2026–2030) at the upcoming Two Sessions (两会) in March\, key questions loom over its economic trajectory\, technological ambitions and evolving global role. \nDr. Henry Huiyao Wang will discuss Beijing’s emerging strategic priorities\, drawing on his decades of experience in policy advising\, research\, and international engagement.
