Disaggregation of Mobile Networking Systems Without the Pain
The architecture and deployment of mobile networks has experienced dramatic transformation in the past decade, enabled through embracing “disaggregation” at different levels. This in turn has led to diversification of the ecosystem. At the same time, disaggregation of mobile networking systems introduces new challenges. In this talk, I’ll start by giving my perspective on the key drivers (economic and beyond) behind the remarkable transformation of the mobile networking landscape and outline three levels of disaggregation that played a pivotal role.
Scalable Nanomanufacturing for Next Generation Electronics and Energy Devices
Emerging energy and electronics technologies such as lightweight solar cells, low power computing devices, and earth-abundant water splitting catalysts could power the renewable energy transition, but their impact is limited by performance and manufacturability. Scalable nanomanufacturing via printing could address these needs by allowing low-cost integration of high-performance materials over large areas and in new 3D geometries.

IROS Best Paper Award on Mobile Manipulation
Prof. Xiaolong Wang and his student Ruihan Yang won the IROS Best Paper Award on Mobile Manipulation.
This is an award out of 3645 submissions at IROS this year. It is a collaboration with Ruihan interning at AI2 last year.
Addressing Large Models: Multiple and Hierarchical Universality
Universal coding, prediction and learning consider the situation where the data generating mechanism is unknown or non-existent, and the goal of the universal predictor/learner is to compete with the best hypothesis from a given hypothesis class, either on the average or in the worst-case. Multiple universality considers the case where the relevant hypothesis class is also unknown.
