Title: Federated Learning for Preserving Data Privacy
Abstract:
Federated Learning (FL) is a machine learning setting where multiple entities (clients) collaborate in solving a machine learning problem, under the coordination of a central server or service provider. Each client’s raw data is stored locally and not exchanged or transferred; instead local learning focused updates intended for immediate aggregation are used to achieve the learning objective. This presentation presents the context of federated learning, discusses its key elements, and gives attention to software libraries, communication attacks and outlines current lines of study.
This presentation presents the context of federated learning and why it is necessary. Its key elements are analyzed, and attention is given to software libraries, communication attacks and current lines of study (Keynote slides can be downloaded at the bottom of the page).

Title: Learning how to learn with OpenML
Abstract:
Machine learning aims to perform tasks better based on data and automatically gained experience. Ironically, doing it well often requires a lot of tacit human experience and starting from scratch. What if we could automatically collect experience on how to learn across a wide range of tasks, on a global scale, and spanning many lifetimes? OpenML is an open-source platform for doing exactly this. It allows anyone (and anything) to share machine learning datasets, models, and reproducible experiments. It is integrated into popular machine learning tools to allow easy sharing of models and experiments. It organizes all of this online with rich metadata, and enables anyone to reuse and build on them in novel and unexpected ways. This fosters a budding ecosystem of automated processes that can learn from all shared information on how to build the best machine learning models faster and better over time. We welcome all of you to become a part of it (Keynote slides can be downloaded at the bottom of the page).
Biosketch: Joaquin Vanschoren is an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on the automation of machine learning (AutoML) and Meta-Learning. He co-authored and co-edited the book 'Automatic Machine: Methods, Systems, Challenges'', published over 100 articles on these topics, and received an Amazon Research Award, Azure Research Award, and the Dutch Data Prize. He founded and leads OpenML.org, an open science platform for machine learning, and is a founding member of the European AI associations ELLIS and CLAIRE. He has been tutorial speaker at NeurIPS and AAAI, and has given more than 20 invited talks. He is datasets and benchmarks chair at NeurIPS 2021 and co-organized the AutoML and Meta-Learning workshop series at NeurIPS and ICML from 2013 to 2021.

Title: Design of Reconfigurable Computing Systems for Accelerating Smart IoT Applications
Abstract:
Many new IoT (Internet of Things) applications are driven by the fast creation, adaptation, and enhancement of various types of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). DNNs are computation intensive. Without efficient hardware implementations of DNNs, these promising IoT applications will not be practically realizable. In this talk, we will analyze several challenges facing the AI and IoT community for mapping DNNs to hardware accelerators. Especially, we will evaluate FPGA's role for accelerating DNNs targeting both cloud and edge computing. We will present a series of effective design techniques for implementing DNNs on FPGAs with high performance, energy efficiency and adaptability. These include automated DNN/FPGA co-design, smart reuse of configurable DNN IPs, smart pipeline scheduling, Winograd techniques, and DNN quantization. The design flows developed based on the proposed techniques, such as DNNBuilder, have been adopted by the industry (e.g., IBM and Xilinx). The new DNN models produced, such as SkyNet, have won championships in the competitive DAC System Design Contest for low-power object detection (Keynote slides can be downloaded at the bottom of the page).
