This webinar presents the history of Military computers from the very first electromechanical codebreaking machines of WWII through the first Tube machines of the 1940s and early 1950s to the transistor & early integrated circuit machines of the late 1950s & 1960s. We learn of the roots of Univac Defense Systems (now part of Lockheed Martin) as the leading military computer company and how those roots were driven by the Navy’s OP-20-G communications intelligence group responsible for breaking Japanese, German, and Italian codes in WWII before becoming the NSA during the cold war. We watch the development of the Naval Tactical Data System, its computers, and how went on to serve Navy, Marines, Air Force, NASA, and FAA.

Early detection and efficient management of these disorders can provide significant health benefits. By providing real-time, data-driven insights AI-driven methods meet an urgent need for early detection and management of these disorders. In this talk, Prof. Phoha will present the potential of AI-driven early diagnosis and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) for neurological disorders. Using the unique properties of data generated through neurological anomalies and disorders, one can use AI methods such as transfer learning from existing knowledge; one-shot and few-shot learning for spiking and sparse data, and hidden Markov models to find underlying relationships and causes of malignant neurological disorders. The speaker will show how the generated data can be captured through smart wearables and phones, how uncovering relationships provides insights for digital rehabilitation, and how using augmented reality and virtual reality provides tremendous potential for cognitive therapy, psychiatric assessments, and rehabilitation. Prof. Phoha will outline a proof-of-concept smart diagnostics-enabled mirror and discuss security issues in smart diagnostics. Speaker(s): Prof. Vir Phoha, Dr. Vishnu S.

Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) must be monitored closely to identify, diagnose, and potentially mitigate flight problems as they arise. During the flight, the vast amounts of multivariate time series data typically generated by sUAS flight controllers can be complex to understand and analyze. While formal product documentation often provides example data plots with diagnostic suggestions, the sheer diversity of attributes, critical thresholds, and complex data interactions can be overwhelming to non-experts who subsequently seek help from discussion forums to interpret their data logs. Solutions based on deep learning or heuristics can be used to detect anomalies in different time-series data attributes. However, understanding and mitigating the root cause of flight problems based upon the combination of multiple detected data anomalies requires significant domain expertise. To address these challenges, this talk will present approaches that leverage deep learning and heuristic methods to detect anomalies in flight data, both for real-time and post-flight analysis. Additionally, it will explore how the combination of multiple detected anomalies can be utilized to diagnose the root cause of the flight issue. The solutions proposed aim to simplify the anomaly detection process while providing a more systematic approach for diagnosing complex flight behaviors.

Abstract: Recent advances in digital health technologies are enabling biomedical researchers to reframe health optimization and disease treatment in a patient-specific, personalized manner. This talk will focus on my group’s research in two areas of relevance to digital health: (1) cardiogenic vibration sensing and analytics; and (2) musculoskeletal sensing with joint acoustic emissions and bioimpedance. Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for quantifying filling pressures and volume status in the context of heart failure (volume overload) and hemorrhage (volume depletion). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Our group has extensively studied the timings and characteristics of cardiogenic vibration signals such as the ballistocardiogram and seismocardiogram, and applied these signals for quantifying filling pressures and volume status in the context of heart failure (volume overload) and hemorrhage (volume depletion). We have also leveraged miniature contact microphones to measure the sounds emitted by joints, such as the knees, during movement, and have examined how these acoustic characteristics are altered by musculoskeletal injuries and disorders (e.g., arthritis). We envision that these technologies can all contribute to improving patient care with lower cost and better outcomes.

Abstract: Recent news has published information on technology and infrastructure at risk for being compromised due to cyber-attacks. There are several instances in which these attacks have been successful and have resulted in great consequences. Integrating Cybersecurity into the engineering process will enable designs to be resilient against attacks and ensure that the technology can operate in an increasingly hostile environment. This presentation will share examples of these attacks, how to identify vulnerabilities in designs, and a process that engineers can integrate into their development cycle to include cybersecurity into their architecture.

IEEE Lone Star Section EMBS Chapter and the Life Members Affinity Group will host a daylong workshop on AI and Healthcare. Event will be held in conjunction with the Computer Sciences Department's Research Day and Poster Presentations. The purpose of the workshop is to assemble engineers and scientists with an interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) as applied to the field of healthcare. The workshop is expected to also expand interest in EMB activities across several technical chapters, affinity groups and Section members. Additionally, the event will focus on expanding interest in EMB for students and faculty at the many academic institutions within the Lone Star Section. In addition the event will include Texas State University in San Marcos (Central Texas Section), with emphasis on its very active IEEE faculty and student branch. The workshop will featuring a Keynote Speaker, Panel Discussion, Networking and Poster session at the (https://www.txst.edu/starpark/conference-center.html) Conference facility in San Marcos, Texas on December 6, 2024.

[] Free Registration (with a Zoom account; you can get one for free if you don't already have it): https://sjsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsc-CoqjwpG9aPDHfg6Axqvn90i4uQRmqr Synopsis: For a long time, the AI/ML community relied on traditional evaluation metrics such as the confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, and recall for assessing the performance of machine learning models. However, the rapidly evolving field has been raising several ethical concerns, which calls for a more comprehensive evaluation scheme. In easy-to-understand language, this talk will delve into the quantitative analysis of model performance, emphasizing the critical importance of explainability. As ML models become increasingly complex and pervasive, understanding their decision-making processes is paramount. We'll explore various performance metrics, their limitations, and the growing need for transparency. Topics covered include Cohen’s Kappa Statistic, Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC), Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, G-measure, ROC Curve, Youden's J statistic, Type II Adversarial attack, R-squared, LIME, SHAP, and more.
