Have you ever wanted to own one so that you can see the frequencies around you? If this fits you to a, ‘T’, come join the Southeastern Michigan IEEE EMC Society TinySA workshop with Michael Kirkhart KD8QBA, electronics engineer, hacker, amateur radio operator, and lifelong learner. Michael Kirkhart has worked with antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, and electronics. He understands the nuances of spectrum analyzers and why the TinySA is an astounding tiny device. The TinySA has the ability to act as a spectrum analyzer, a sine or square wave generator, a filter and more! The workshop will use 6 TinySA Ultras with assorted probes. At the end of the workshop, 6 registered attendees will be going home with the 6 TinySAs and probe sets. The fortunate ones will be picked via a random number generator.

Title: Understanding and using the embedding spaces of large generative models Speaker: Anand Sarwate, Professor of ECE, Rutgers University Abstract: Training massive ML/AI models on massive amounts of data supposedly creates latent representations or features that are “universal” in the sense that the large model acts as a feature extractor that maps inputs into an embedding space. In this talk I will discuss recent empirical work that looks at embeddings for generative models. In particular, I will describe an approach that uses a third model as a “microscope” to uncover differences between two other models. Simple methods on the embedding space of the “microscope” model show that outputs of different models are distinguishable, which potentially opens the door to several applications. Time permitting, I will describe other insights about embedding spaces. Bio: Anand D. Sarwate is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University. Prior to joining Rutgers he was a Research Assistant Professor at TTI-Chicago and a postdoc at the ITA Center at UCSD. He received undergraduate degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering from MIT (2002) and a PhD from UC Berkeley (2008). His research interests include information theory, machine learning, signal processing, optimization, and privacy and security. Dr. Sarwate is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Information Theory Society for 2024--2025 and is on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society.

The IEEE Central Illinois Section is cohosting a tour of the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting office and "KILX" radar site in Lincoln, IL. This free, online and in-person event is open to all IEEE members and IEEE students 18 years of age or older. This event will include a technical presentation regarding storm forecasting via the WSR-88D dual-polarization radar and related technologies, and short tour of the forecasting office. According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), dual-polarization radar can extract information about the horizontal and vertical properties of particles held aloft. These size and shape data allow meteorologists to classify rain, ice pellets, snow, hail, non-precipitation particles and ground clutter with greater accuracy. REGISTRATION: If you plan to attend, you must register below to reserve your seat. Registration and attendance are free to all IEEE members. BRINGING A GUEST?
