Beyond the Speech: Understanding Behaviors and Mental Health Disorders in the Era of Applied AI Co-sponsored by: Ahmed Abdelgawad Marriot Hotel, Mt Pleasant, Michigan, United States, 48858-4499

The history of modern computing has been shaped as much by advances in thermal management as by improvements in semiconductor design. From the early days of the IBM PC, where processors dissipated only a few watts and required no active cooling, to today’s graphics processing units (GPUs) exceeding 1,000 W per chip, the demand for efficient electronics cooling has steadily grown in both urgency and complexity. This presentation provides a historical perspective on the evolution of thermal solutions for central processing units (CPUs) and GPUs, including the adoption of pin-fin heat sinks, forced convection, thermoelectric coolers, heat pipes, and vapor chambers. It further explores the growing challenges introduced by laptop and server designs, as well as the hierarchical nature of electronics packaging, which introduces non-uniform power dissipation, hot spots, and increasingly stringent junction- temperature limits. In addition to reviewing classical approaches, the presentation highlights the transition into the post-Moore’s Law era, where computational power has grown not by simple transistor scaling but through massively parallel architectures and accelerated computing. This shift has driven unprecedented power density, requiring new generations of cooling technologies, from advanced liquid-cooling loops to two-phase solutions. Finally, the presentation outlines emerging opportunities in electronics cooling across diverse domains, including AI data centers, telecommunications, automotive power electronics, electric- vehicle battery systems, LEDs, and renewable energy. By examining the trajectory of thermal management from past to future, this talk emphasizes the central role of cooling innovations in enabling continued progress in high-performance computing and sustainable electronics.

Machine learning (ML) and AI will play a key role in the development of 6G networks. Network virtualization and network software solutions in 5G networks can support data-driven intelligent and automated networks to some extent and this trend will grow in 5G-advanced networks. In 6G networks, network intelligence is envisioned to be end-to-end, and air interface is envisioned to be AI-native. The user equipment (UE) devices need to be smarter, environment and context aware, and capable of running ML algorithms. The mobile networks standardization bodies including 3GPP have started discussing AI solutions in almost all working groups. This talk will give a brief overview of various activities in 3GPP in this domain with focus on the main challenges in developing machine learning solutions in 5G use cases and emphasize with a case study how deployment of these solutions is much harder in a real network as compared to theoretical performance evaluation. Further, a vision for paradigm shift from AI-as-an-enabler to AI-Native air-interface will be provided for 6G networks.

Title: Approaching General to Super Computer Audition From understanding human speech and music to perceiving complex soundscapes, the field of computer audition is rapidly evolving toward a new frontier: systems that approach general listening intelligence and even exceed human auditory capabilities. In this Distinguished IEEE SPS lecture, we will trace the journey from today’s specialized audio recognition systems to tomorrow’s general-purpose and “super” computer audition—AI that can listen, interpret, and act across a vast range of acoustic environments. Building on decades of research in speech and audio processing, affective and paralinguistic computing, and multimodal machine learning, the talk will showcase how advances in large-scale models, self-supervised learning, and cross-modal integration are reshaping what machines can hear and understand breaking audio down into its sources and richly attributing states and traits to these. Applications range from voice biomarkers in healthcare and emotion-aware assistants to advanced hearing technologies—areas directly relevant to industry leaders such as Starkey. Yet, the move toward general and superhuman audition also raises critical questions. How do we ensure robustness, interpretability, and fairness in AI that listens to—and learns from—our most personal signals? How can we balance technical progress with ethical responsibility and user trust? And what are the implications of AI systems that may one day surpass human hearing in scope and precision? This talk will offer a forward-looking perspective on the science and impact of tomorrow’s computer audition, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of designing AI that truly listens.

Marx generators are very popular for applications requiring high-voltage pulsed power supply (HVPPS), spanning military systems (such as radar and electromagnetic pulse generators), medical treatments (e.g., non-thermal tumor ablation), environmental technologies (e.g., ozone generation and wastewater treatment), high-energy physics, high-power microwave (HPM) systems, and material processing. Traditionally, Marx generators used spark-gap switches, which ionize air to create a conductive path for pulse generation. While effective for initial applications, spark-gap systems have limitations, including low repetition rates due to ionization and cooling delays, inconsistent pulse shaping, and frequent maintenance due to electrode erosion. To address these constraints, solid-state Marx generators (SSMGs) were developed, using semiconductor switches like MOSFETs and IGBTs. SSMGs allow pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) up to hundreds of kHz, which are crucial for high-demand modern applications, especially in HPM systems where rapid, repetitive power pulses are essential. SSMGs also enable precise pulse modulation, offering tunable characteristics such as width and polarity, while eliminating the wear associated with spark-gap systems. This talk will reflect on the evolution of Marx generators from spark gap devices to solid state devices, and how the operation of Marx generators can be improved with superior voltage regulation and minimized charging current peak from the input power supply.
