Past Speakers
Jay Lee
Ohio Eminent Scholar, L.W. Scott Alter Chair Professor, Univ. Distinguished Professor at the Univ. of Cincinnati, and board member and vice chairman of Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn Technology Group)
Industrial AI, Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Cyber Physical Systems are changing the way we design product, manufacturing, and service systems. It is clear that as more sensors and smart analytics software are integrated in the networked industrial products and manufacturing systems, predictive technologies can further learn and autonomously optimize productivity and performance. This presentation will address the trends of Industrial AI for future smart industrial internet transformation. First, Industrial AI enabled industrial systems will be introduced. In addition, advanced predictive analytics technologies with case studies will be presented.

Speaker Bio
Kushal Datta is a Senior Research Scientist in the Artificial Intelligence Products Group at Intel Corporation. He specializes in accelerating deep learning training and inference on Intel Architecture. His noteworthy achievements include optimization of Multiscale CNN training time on Multi-Node Xeon® and INT8/VNNI quantization of the Transformer model. In his previous roles, he worked on Intel® Graph Analytics Toolkit, Genomics Analytics Toolkit-4.0 (from Broad Institute) and TileDB (a multi-dimensional array store). Dr. Datta received his PhD in ECE from University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he created a famous cycle-accurate micro-architecture simulator called Casper. His doctoral work used statistical machine learning and Casper to improve power efficiency of simultaneous multi-threading SPARCV9 very large-core microarchitectures.
