Bayard Rustin was a leading activist in the American Civil Rights Movement known for his role in organizing the 1963 March on Washington. He was born in 1912 in Pennsylvania and raised primarily by his grandparents who were Quakers and influenced him with their beliefs in pacifism and racial equality. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Rustin helped organize numerous civil rights campaigns and worked to promote the philosophy of nonviolence. His most notable achievement was serving as the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, which drew over 200,000 people and helped lead to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

African Americans are the largest ethnic minority group in the United States, with over 55% living in the southern states. Their history in the educational system faced many challenges, as slaves were often forbidden from receiving any education and free blacks faced segregated schools. Even after the Civil War and emancipation, African Americans continued to face discrimination and legal barriers to equal education. The Civil Rights movement in the 1950s-60s helped achieve desegregation of schools through landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education. Within families, elders played important roles in informally educating younger generations through storytelling, music, and oral traditions when formal schooling was denied.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Astute Business Solutions | Oracle Cloud Partner |

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

A scholar of political science and public administration, Oxnam was a graduate of De Pauw University and earned his MAs (two – one before the war and the other after) and doctorate from USC. As President of Drew he doubled the school’s enrollment and expanded its national and international reach. Known as a humanitarian, he spoke out strongly on behalf of civil rights, academic freedom, and an end to the war in Vietnam at a time, as we know, when these issues were most controversial. His message to us was that our culture was facing its greatest crisis and that the future generation (that’s us!) as “free and responsible persons” had the responsibility to save it through our commitment to freedom and justice.
