Bernd Nowack provides a recommendation letter for Lei Deng. Nowack was Lei Deng's main supervisor for her master's thesis at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. In her thesis, Lei Deng performed an environmental risk assessment of nano-iron oxides over four months. She demonstrated strong critical thinking, collaboration skills, and productivity in independently learning models and evaluating literature to complete the assessment. The quality of her results were so high that they will be published in an environmental science journal. Nowack recommends Lei Deng highly for continuing her scientific career in environmental engineering or industry, as she works well independently and in teams to meet deadlines and goals.

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.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

hree Ways the iPhone 5 Is Making People Crazy
1. We’re not sure if it’s just an effect of the Apple branding scheme or if the iPhone’s just really
phenomenal, but it seems like people are actually going crazy over these smartphones. While
the tech arena is going nuts over which smartphone is the best, hardcore Apple addicts are
busying themselves in showing off their great fanaticism by..

# 1 Dressing the iPhone With Gold and Diamonds
We all know that Apple fans treat their iPhones like a status symbol from heavens above. And
that’s not bad at all, seeing that the iPhone is one of the most expensive smartphones in the
market. But really, does it have to be so insanely and blatantly shown to the world? Some crazy
Apple fans think so. So much so that some of them would sell iPhone 4 units bedecked in
diamonds as well as iPhone 5s plated in real gold. Check this bedazzled iPhone 4 from jeweler
Stuart Hughes. Also, people from Gold & Co. probably hated the aluminum iPhone 5 design
which is why they chose to sell iPhone embraced with 24-karat gold. The iPhone 4 with
diamonds can be bought for $20,000 while the gold plated 64 GB iPhone 5 will be sold in Dubai
(the price is still unknown).
# 2 Declaring Love for the New Apple Maps App on Twitter
Gizmodo recently reported that 17 possibly insane people tweeted about their true love for the
iPhone 5’s new Maps app. Seriously though, did they really get to see what the app does? It
melts bridges, makes rocky roads seem unearthly rockier and changes street names like a
prankster. Okay, these 17 people may be the lucky ones who never have to sell iPhone 5 back
to get a real map instead and they probably live in towns where GPS is amazing and the data is
2. complete. I hope they don’t need to fly off somewhere else though because in some other parts
of the Apple Map, deep down in its core, the taste of “beta” still remains. Okay, so let’s give
Apple a break, may be they’re just having a hard time with their Google breakup; they’ve been
together for years. Let’s cut them some slack and give the app some time to grow and then
move on to crazier things like…
# 3 Spending More on the iPhone Than Basic Necessities
Wall Street Journal recently reported of stats showing that Americans are spending more and
more money on their phone bills and cutting back on food, clothes and entertainment. Since
more than half of America owns smartphones like the iPhone, the need for mobile carrier plans
has disturbed the budgets of families in the country. The studies also shown that all these
changes were felt starting in 2007, around the time the iPhone was first released and people
spent an average of $1,110 a year for phone bills. In 2011, the numbers rose to 4 percent with
people spending an average of $1,226 on their bills. Looks like people need to trade iPhone to
get a life!
