讲座摘要

Today, we face significant scientific challenges because the large-scale data acquired by our instrumentation and algorithm and the vast degrees of freedom of our target subjects are constantly defying human analysis. Here we sketch how machine learning techniques may serve as useful tools in overcoming data largeness and noisiness, in reverse thinking, and in bridging fields or even disciplines, such as between computation, experiment, and theory. We report developments in machine learning approaches in recognizing various phases from quantum many-body states and validating theory-hypothesized order hidden through large, complex electronic quantum matter data, and developing efficient and general quantum compiling algorithms at the dawn of quantum computation. We also outline our progress in using machine learning to analyze many-body Hamiltonian ground-state property from a novel perspective.

讲座摘要

Wireless technologies have achieved great success in data communication. In recent years, wireless signals are exploited  for sensing, enabling exciting new applications including passive localization, gesture recognition, respiration sensing and even material identification. Among these wireless signals, acoustic signals show a unique advantage for fine-grained sensing owing to the low propagating speed (340m/s) in the air. Promising progress has been achieved in subtle motion sensing such as respiration monitoring, finger tracking and even eye blink detection using acoustic signals. In this talk, the latest progress and research methodologies in acoustic sensing will be discussed.
