Medical Device Design
On
About
the Talk
Medical
device design is an exercise in optimization with the goal of achieving the
device with best effectiveness. This
optimization process is constrained by safety, reliability and
manufacturability requirements, and failure to satisfy these may limit the success
of the product to the insides of an academic laboratory. In this talk, I will describe the origin and
the content of these constraints as well as discuss the state of the medical
device industry in general.

NJ SP Chapter:
Pairwise Kernel-Based Learning Approach to Intelligent Search and Data Mining
On
June 30, 2008, the IEEE NJ Signal Processing Chapter together with the New
Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk on “Pairwise Kernel-Based
Learning Approach to Intelligent Search and Data Mining." The speaker will be Professor S. Y. Kung of
Princeton University.
The pairwise approach
represents a promising new research direction.
It is more than just replacing the distance-matrix by a similarity score
or a nonlinear kernel. What kind of
similarity scores are most effective depends closely on the given
applications. They fall into three
categories: (1) vector data, (2)
time-series or sequence data, (3) direct (text- or keyword-based)
approach. As motivation, some potential
applications for media processing and bioinformatics will be highlighted.
In this talk, we shall look into some prominent unsupervised
learning (PCA, K-means, SOM, tree) and supervised learning (Fisher, SVM)
techniques. We shall compare their
conventional and kernel-based variants.
In addition, we shall illuminate the role of the Mercer condition and
introduce a solution when the condition is not met. For this, the notions of kernelization and
vectorization will be introduced and compared.
To extend the application domain, we shall further divide the
supervised learning into two different categories: (1) (regular) supervised and (2)
self-supervised scenarios. Many signal
and media processing applications naturally arise in self-supervised
formulation. For this, we shall
introduce a vector-index-adaptive SVM (VIA-SVM), which is based on the fact
that the support vectors can be subdivided into different groups each offering
quite distinct prediction performance.
Simulation studies confirm that the prediction can be significantly
improved by VIA-SVM, especially after it is combined with relevance (e.g. SNR)
and redundancy information inherent in the self-supervised formulation.

IEEE R1 Joint Student, GOLD, WIE Conference Held April 26th
The
second annual joint Region 1 Student Activities, Graduates of the Last Decade
(GOLD) and Women in Engineering (WIE) conference was held on Saturday April 26,
2008 at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ. This conference marks the second year this
event was held and it coincides with the student paper contest and micromouse
competitions held annually.
This
year's host university, Fairleigh Dickinson, who also hosted last year's
competition and conference provided the venue for students and GOLD/WIE members
from around Region 1 to meet for a variety of activities that occurred over two
days.
The
conference opened with a networking reception, held the night before on Friday,
April 25 from 6 to 9 pm. This event
allowed students and visiting members to interact before the next day's formal
activities over light refreshments in an informal setting. It also gave an excellent opportunity to test
their skills and win some prizes. Two
different puzzle game challenges were played and the winners received gift
cards.
The
next day was the formal program which was composed of parallel tracks of
activities. The three main tracks were
the student activities track, the GOLD/WIE training and professional
development track, and the Career and Information Fair track. After opening welcome remarks, the student
paper contest got underway as well as the day long Career and Information
Fair. The GOLD/WIE track started with
and introduction to IEEE and GOLD/WIE affinity group leadership training.
The
afternoon had the formal micromouse competition after morning trial
sessions. The afternoon also hosted a
variety of seminars on different topics devoted to professional
development. This included information
about a professional skills development guide, information about how to go
about starting your own technology company, and making critical decisions at the
beginning of your career.
The
Career and Information fair featured a number of booths and exhibits from
different local universities, IEEE organizations, and corporations looking to
hire summer interns or full-time graduates. The exhibits were also open to
pre-college students looking to pursue engineering education and careers in
electrical and related engineering occupations.
The
conference concluded with the traditional awards banquet where the student
competition winners and conference volunteers were recognized. The details of the program and many more
pictures for the events can be found online at the Region 1 GOLD website http://www.ewh.ieee.org/reg/1/gold/conference.
