Abstract |
The human race has invested about a trillion dollars in the development of semiconductor electronics, and our lives have been improved greatly as a result. Smart devices are now taken for granted and permeate every aspect of our existence. The development of such complex devices is extremely difficult and error-prone, thus the IC design community has made large investments in synthesis, simulation, verification, and overall automation to allow such designs to be built. It turns out, happily, that much of this Silicon R&D is applicable to other areas... This talk will be about one such area, namely that of Proton radiation cancer therapy, where a team at IBM, working with researchers at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Research center, have been busy applying knowledge from VLSI to this important area, and producing results that are poised to revolutionize the quality and efficiency of such therapy. |

Abstract |
We
are on the verge of a new era of computing. We refer to this as the Era
of Cognitive Computing -- an era in which computers perform tasks that
were previously outside the realm of what computors have traditionally
been good at. With Watson, we have demonstrated that computing systems
are able to understand the idiosyncrasies and nuance of human written
language well enough to answer questions with incredible accuracy, and
across enormous volumes of information. This is just the beginning of
cognitive computing. In the years to come we will see a whole class of
computing capabilities emerge that extend to other dimensions of human
cognition -- the ability to perceive, to rationalize, to plan, to
anticipate, and so forth. These are the capabilities that we expect to
see emerge to help solve bigger and more important problems. In this
talk I will outline what Watson is, how it works, how we're employing
it to address big problems in Health Care, and how it lays a foundation
for addressing deep natural language processing and other dimensions of
Cognitive Computing. |

| Topic/Title | Modeling the Induced Electric Fields of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation |
|---|---|
| Speaker | Felipe S. Salinas, Ph.D. |
| Abstract | Transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) delivers highly localized brain stimulations
via non-invasive interactions between externally applied magnetic
fields and human cortex. TMS has well-established applications in basic
neuro-science and promising applications in neurological and
psychiatric disorders, however the mechanisms of action underlying
TMS-induced brain activations are not well understood. Consequently,
treatment design parameters are determined ad hoc and informed by no
coherent theory or model. In this presentation, I will highlight some
of the advancements we have made in non-invasive brain stimulation
using realistic models of the induced electric field. These models may
be used to inform treatment delivery protocols and/or to determine
accurate dosage levels of clinical therapies, thus enhancing the
efficacy and clinical viability of non-invasive brain stimulation. |

Abstract |
Dr.
Nan Sun from UT Austin will present recent research progress on
mismatch shaping techniques for multibit delta sigma ADCs and DACs. It
is widely known that a multibit delta sigma ADC is more advantageous
than its 1-bit counterpart for its better stability and SNR. However,
the drawback is that a multibit feedback DAC is not intrinsically
linear due to element mismatches. As a result, the mismatch error from
the DAC, unshaped by the feedback loop, limits the overall SNR. To
address this issue, researchers have developed various mismatch shaping
techniques, such as individual-level-averaging (ILA),
dynamic-weighted-averaging (DWA), the tree-structured method, and the
vector-based method. These techniques randomly select the DAC elements
in such a way that the DAC mismatch errors are high-pass (or band-pass)
shaped. Although these techniques have been successfully adopted in
industry practices, there are still critical limitations with them,
including their long propagation delay, high hardware complexity, and
low mismatch shaping order (<=2). Recently, our group at UT Austin
developed several novel vector-based mismatch shaping techniques that
can address the aforementioned limitations of existing approaches: 1)
our methods allow high-order (>2) mismatch shaping; 2) they
substantially reduce the propagation delay; 3) they significantly lower
the hardware complexity; and 4) they allow arbitrary DAC segmentations.
