Synopsis: Multimodal information processing involves utilizing data from diverse sources such as images, videos, and text to improve real-world applications. This presentation will explore how extracting insights from multiple modalities can enhance tasks like summarization, hate speech detection, complaint mining, and medical question summarization. Combining data from videos, images, and texts can create more comprehensive summaries. The speaker will discuss their recent works in multimodal summarization, focusing on areas like comment-aware multimodal summarization, multilingual approaches, and medical question summarization. The talk will also cover the datasets and methods developed to address these challenges in detail. Speaker(s): Dr. Vishnu S.

[] Title: Realizing Artificial Intelligence: Edge-to-Cloud-to-Exascale Abstract: Foundational models with trillions of parameters are being trained. Multi-modal GenAI and Inference Serving services are being deployed for a variety of use cases. To meet the computational demands of these AI workloads, we now have infrastructure with larger than ever GPUs and networks with ever increasing bandwidths. In this presentation, I will talk about challenges of running today’s AI workloads on extreme scale infrastructure. Hewlett Packard Labs is pursuing different research directions for building resilient, scalable and sustainable AI infrastructures. I will discuss how we are tackling the complexities of orchestrating AI/ML workloads by leveraging AI Workload simulations, GPU virtualization, performant communication collectives and novel accelerators.
