Pappas, PhD Electrical and Computer Engineering Northwestern University Abstract: We review recent progress in visual texture analysis from structural texture similarity metrics to the extraction of material properties. We then investigate data-driven texture modeling via analysis and synthesis with generative adversarial networks. For network training and testing, we have compiled a diverse set of spatially homogeneous textures, ranging from stochastic to regular. We adopt StyleGAN3 for synthesis and demonstrate that it produces diverse textures beyond those represented in the training data. For texture analysis, we propose GAN inversion using a novel latent domain reconstruction consistency criterion for synthesized textures, and iterative refinement with a sliced Wasserstein loss for real-world textures. We propose perceptual procedures for evaluating network capabilities, exploring the global and local behavior of latent space trajectories, and comparing with existing texture analysis-synthesis techniques. Bio: Thrasos Pappas received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT in 1987. From 1987 until 1999, he was a Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ. He joined the ECE Department at Northwestern in 1999. His research interests are in human perception and electronic media, including image analysis, quality and compression, content-based retrieval, and tactile and multimodal interfaces. Prof. Pappas is a Fellow of the IEEE, SPIE and IS&T. He has served as Vice President-Publications (2015-17) and member of the Board of Governors (2004-07) of the Signal Processing Society of IEEE, Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (2010-12), and technical program co-chair of ICIP-01 and ICIP-09. He has also served as co-chair of the SPIE/IS&T Conference on Human Vision and Electronic Imaging (1997-2018). He is currently one of the two founding Editors-in-Chief of the IS&T Journal of Perceptual Imaging. Faculty Host: Dr. Enis Cetin ([email protected]) Speaker(s): , Prof. Thrasyvoulos (Thrasos) N.

February is a month for matching up. At MadAI/IEEE our Feb theme is AI match making. We will have people looking for with in AI and have recruiters looking to recruit people in AI. We will also have a wonderful talk by Eric Moore (CIRIS Ethical AI) starting at 6PM and a followup match making after the talk starting at 7pm. Eric's talk abstract: What if AI agents could explain their decisions, recognize their own uncertainty, and ask humans for help when stakes are high? CIRIS is an open-source framework that makes this possible through runtime ethical evaluation, cryptographic audit trails, and mandatory human escalation pathways. This talk covers the architecture of "computational conscience" - how 10 constrained action verbs, three-layer ethical checks, and tamper-evident decision chains create AI systems that are transparent by design. Live demo included. Agenda: 6pm - talk by Eric Moore 7pm - Job search/ Match Making 8pm - Drinks at Pauls Club Bldg: Madison Central Library, 201 West Mifflin Street, Room 302, Madison, Wisconsin, United States, 53703

Radiation-hydrodynamics modeling & application to prediction of Inertial confinement fusion experiments NOTE: In Person Attendance Only! The xRAGE radiation-hydrodynamics code is a state-of-the art simulation tool for modeling inertial confinement fusion experiments. xRAGE is one of only three radiation-hydrodynamics codes developed in the U.S. with sufficient physics to credibly model both capsule implosions as well as the high-Z cylindrical hohlraums used to convert laser energy into an Xray drive for the capsule. xRAGE solves the equations for hydrodynamics and other physics in an Eulerian reference frame and features adaptive mesh refinement, which makes it uniquely well-suited to accurately modeling capsule defects and engineering features that are important factors limiting capsule performance. In the first half of this talk, we will discuss the physics modeling capabilities and algorithms available in xRAGE with an emphasis on those relevant to high-energydensity physics and inertial confinement fusion. In the second half of the talk, we will discuss the successful application of xRAGE to provide pre-shot predictions for seventeen high-yield capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility. This will include the modeling methodology, how we establish prediction uncertainties, and how we have learned from prediction failures to improve the methodology. Our predictions have exhibited a 67% success rate thus far, which is much higher than other pre-shot predictions over the same set of experiments.
