EVENT DETAILS
Coworkers in discussionJoin us for a series of professional development events hosted by McCormick HR. The first fall event of the series will focus on team dynamics.
This session is an interactive program covering a framework of best practices and skills in building and leading a team that performs with excellence. The objective of this session is to provide tools that will enhance communication between team members, clearer understanding of what's expected, and increased accountability for both the leader and the team member.
This event is voluntary and open to all Northwestern Engineering staff, faculty, postdocs, and research staff.
If you have questions or accessibility needs, please contact Kimberly Higgins.
Training provided by Cindy Aaronson, Organizational Consultant and Trainer with CSA & Associates.

Talk Title: Reusing Deep Learning Models: Challenges and Directions in Software Engineering: An Update
Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve state-of-the-art performance in many areas, including computer vision, system configuration, and question-answering. However, DNNs are expensive to develop, both in intellectual effort (e.g., devising new architectures) and computational costs (e.g., training). Re-using DNNs is a promising direction to amortize costs within a company and across the computing industry. As with any new technology, however, there are many challenges in re-using DNNs. These challenges include both missing technical capabilities and missing engineering practices. We discusschallenges in current approaches to DNN re-use. We summarize studies of re-use failures across the spectrum of re-use techniques, including conceptual (e.g., re-using based on a research paper), adaptation (e.g., re-using by building on an existing implementation), and deployment (e.g., direct re-use on a new device). We outline possible advances that would improve each kind of re-use.
In this update of my invited presentation at IEEE Services 2023 at the John Vincent Atanasoff Sypmposium on Modern Computing, I will include information about our work in progress on the use of Deep Learning and Pre-Trained Models (PTMs) in science and engineering applications and our efforts to conduct automated longitudinal analysis of same.
