Collaborating with Purva Pruthi and David Jensen on a project aimed at developing scalable compositional models for causal effect estimation using advanced variants of Mixture of Experts (MoE) such as Hierarchical MoEs, Sparsely-Gated MoEs, and Conditional Computation MoEs, along with hypernetworks and Bayesian neural networks. Our approach integrates PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX, while experimenting with architectures from NeurIPS and ICLR research papers. By leveraging dynamic routing, modular neural networks, and gradient-based optimization, we optimize causal component discovery under various distribution mechanisms. Techniques such as variational inference and Monte Carlo sampling are used to enhance the scalability of the model, enabling it to handle high-dimensional datasets and capture heterogeneous treatment effects with greater precision.

A study by UMass Amherst College of Education doctoral researchers just found that educators are mixed on how to react to students who use ChatGPT. The AI tool is new enough that its potential for transforming education hasn't been completely realized at this point. However, its reality in education is apparent. Already, students are using it to complete homework. The study found that teachers' reactions are mixed. While 88% of grade school teachers reported that ChatGPT was having a positive impact on their work, 38% of grade school students admitted to using it on assignments without their teachers' knowledge. At the collegiate level, 31% of computer science professors considered use of ChatGPT cheating. AI is here to stay, and its prominence in education is only growing. As it grows in power and influence, educators are trying to figure out how to handle it in real time.

The Olver Design Building is a true campus marvel. Believe it or not, this entire structure is supported by a wooden frame. The shared home of the departments of Architecture, Building and Construction Technology, and Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning, this impressive modern building is one of the few wooden structures of its size. In fact, it is the largest known wooden building in academia. The Olver Design Building also uses an innovative technology called concrete composite to support strong flooring. This technique integrates wood and concrete using steel mesh to create flooring surfaces that are stable, sturdy, and fire-resistant. Not only is Olver's construction innovative, but it's a notoriously beautiful building. Exposed wood throughout the structure adds an organic warmth to the angular design. On the upper floor, a thriving rooftop garden provides a welcome respite from study for students pioneering the next generation of building technology. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e5YTPy4m

While at UMass, graduate students learn a lot about their discipline. The Public Writing Fellows Program makes sure that they can tell the world. While UMass grad students approach expert status during their education, their curricula don't necessarily help them to develop the skills necessary to communicate that expertise to the general public. That's why the PWF Program had seven grad students, most of them pursuing a doctorate, learn to write about a discipline that had little or nothing to do with their own. This exercise helped the students discover their inner science communicator. "The Public Writing Fellows program is a fantastic opportunity for any graduate student, in any field of study,” says Sarah Mirza, a doctoral student in animal science and program fellow. “As a scientist in the early steps of my Ph.D. program, I learned how to make my research digestible to broad audiences. I worked alongside many motivated fellows from different departments and in different stages of their careers."

Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey

#UMassAmherst is proud to partner with the Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey , to recruit a cohort of students to work full-time in collaboration with Massachusetts state agencies on experiential AI projects for social good. The program, which will be guided by the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences, UMass Amherst will deploy students to work alongside state agency partners in using AI to improve the delivery of services and programs for #Massachusetts residents. In addition to serving as an accelerator of state adoption of Gen AI, this program is a successful talent pipeline for the state, as the majority of the first student cohort have come to work in agencies as either interns or full-time staff members. https://bit.ly/4gN8u8F

Continuing my previous research on Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and Bayesian processes, I developed a sensor integration tool that utilized t-SNE and UMAP for dimensionality reduction. This platform processed over 50,000 sensor data points per second and reduced model training time by 35%. It incorporated LSTM networks for sequence analysis and used Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter tuning, resulting in a 45% increase in data processing efficiency. The tool also integrated AutoML capabilities to streamline model selection for real-time analytics across various applications.

🤔 A lot of people have been asking us how our project with Mitacs went. There seems to be quite the buzz 🐝 around our #quantumTraining project. So we want to share with everyone the wonderful news: they loved it! 💜💚 🙌 But don't take our word for it, here's a sneak peek of our Mitacs case study: 👀 “This quantum training series delved deep into the intricacies of quantum theory and its practical applications and implications for the economy. The expertise of the instructors, A.J. Sikora and Katanya B. Kuntz, PhD , is truly exceptional. Their passion for quantum science and business communication is infectious, and their dedication to guiding participants through this complex subject matter is commendable. They foster an inclusive learning environment where questions and discussions are encouraged, ensuring that everyone feels empowered to explore and learn. They made learning about a typically dry subject like quantum physics interesting and fun! As a result of these courses, Mitacs saw remarkable results from participants and internal managers overseeing the project. They experienced higher than average attendance and engagement, and received excellent feedback from participants. One Quantum 101 student said: ‘I have a master's in RF and microwave engineering and for me it was great. I could easily follow the pace.’ The results of this project, including the planning and delivery of the courses, as well as the promotional materials and distribution, far exceeded Mitacs ’ expectations and set a new standard for performance in their professional skills training program. This was evidenced by the speed at which the courses filled up, and the number of people that returned to take all 3 courses.” 🙏 We are grateful and proud of how our project with Mitacs went. We delivered what we promised and surpassed their expectations. 🎆 The student feedback shows we are moving in the right direction with our training! Let’s work together to prepare Canada and the workforce for the opportunities and threats emerging from the #quantumIndustry . ⚛ 🇨🇦 👉 Case Study: https://lnkd.in/dm9uTRM9 Lucia Huang | Stephanie Cosgrove | Eva Reddington, International MBA | Juliane Freitag | Mohammadreza Rezaee | John Hepburn

🙌 Une équipe de recherche de l’IRSST, composée de Sébastien Gagné, Simon Aubin , Pierre-Luc Cloutier et Loïc Wingert , a obtenu un financement de 180 000 $ de WorkSafeBC et Mitacs pour développer une nouvelle méthode de laboratoire. 🤝 Le projet, en #collaboration avec une étudiante l’ Université de Montréal et sous la supervision du professeur Patrick Hayes , vise à répondre aux exigences réglementaires du #Québec et de la Colombie-Britannique, en développant une méthode d’analyse de la pipérazine respectant la notation #IFV (fraction inhalable et vapeur). 🔎 Pourquoi la pipérazine ? Présente dans les revêtements, produits pharmaceutiques et technologies de captage du carbone, la #pipérazine est aussi un sensibilisant respiratoire et cutané lié à des risques comme l’asthme professionnel. Ce projet, prévu jusqu’en 2026, vise à faciliter l’application des limites d’exposition en répondant aux priorités du Québec et de la Colombie-Britannique. 📃 Pour en savoir plus : https://lnkd.in/e_nqzRqt #IRSST #SST #Recherche
