SUMMARY:Semiconductors and AI: Architecting the Future
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is no longer just a software story. Behind every large language model and every AI-powered breakthrough lies a physical substrate — and the race to build it is reshaping the semiconductor industry at its core. This panel brings together voices from the lab and the industry floor to examine the challenge at the heart of the AI era. How has explosive AI demand rewritten what chips need to do — and what it takes to make them? What separates an AI accelerator from everything that came before it? And what does it mean for manufacturing\, supply chains\, and global competition when demand outpaces the industry's ability to keep up?\nFrom thin film deposition and nanofabrication to fab operations\, equipment markets\, and national semiconductor strategy\, our panelists bring rare depth to questions that will define the next decade of technology. This is not a conversation about chips in the abstract — it is a conversation about the physical foundations of the AI future\, and the very real challenges of building them at scale.\nSpeaker(s): Robert Quinn\nAgenda:\n– Technical presentation by Robert Quinn\n– Panel discussion\n– Audience Q&A\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/554730

SUMMARY:Explainable AI for Reliable Systems and Financial Security
DESCRIPTION:This session explores the role of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in improving transparency and trust in machine learning systems applied to complex real-world problems.\nThe first talk focuses on software defect prediction\, addressing the growing complexity of modern software systems where early defect detection is essential for maintaining reliability and reducing maintenance costs. The presented framework integrates advanced data preprocessing\, class imbalance handling\, and the XGBoost algorithm with explainability techniques\, enabling accurate defect prediction while providing interpretable insights into the software metrics that contribute most to defect formation.\nThe second talk examines anomaly detection in financial transactions\, a critical task for fraud prevention and regulatory compliance. The proposed approach leverages attention-enhanced Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) combined with interpretability methods such as SHAP to identify anomalous transaction patterns. Beyond detecting suspicious activity\, the framework provides transaction-level explanations that help analysts understand the factors influencing anomaly classification.\nTogether\, these presentations demonstrate how explainable AI methods can bridge the gap between high-performing machine learning models and the transparency required for real-world adoption in both software engineering and financial security.\nSpeaker(s): Srikanth\, Sowjanya\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/546377

SUMMARY:Searchable Encryption: Foundations\, Privacy Challenges\, and Emerging Directions
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Searchable encryption has emerged as a key cryptographic technology for enabling efficient search over encrypted data while preserving confidentiality in untrusted environments. In this talk\, I will introduce the fundamental concepts of searchable encryption methodologies and discuss the privacy challenges that have shaped their evolution. The presentation will review the historical development of searchable encryption\, highlighting how early designs addressed basic functionality and how subsequent approaches responded to increasingly sophisticated privacy threats\, such as access-pattern and leakage attacks. I will then present a structured classification of searchable encryption methodologies\, offering a conceptual framework that helps clarify existing designs and their privacy trade-offs. This classification aims to strengthen the foundation for reasoning about privacy guarantees and to support the design of more robust and practical schemes. The talk will also touch on emerging directions\, including usability considerations and the interaction between searchable encryption and modern data-driven systems. The goal of this talk is to provide an accessible introduction to searchable encryption and its privacy challenges\, while motivating researchers and practitioners to further explore open problems and contribute to advancing privacy-preserving search technologies.\nSpeaker(s): Khosro Salmani\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/557289

SUMMARY:IEEE New Era AI 2026 workshop " Building AI Applications with Amazon Bedrock" by Amazon Lambda
DESCRIPTION:Early Bird: 50% off before May 1st\,  In-person maximum 70 Seats\, Remote: no limit.\n50% off: Student $10\, IEEE member: $17\, Non-IEEE $30\,\nRemote $20 Certificate $7\nIn this hands-on workshop\, participants build AI applications using Amazon Bedrock. Through guided\nlabs\, they progress from foundational text generation and chatbots to advanced patterns including RAG\,\nmultimodal image processing\, structured data extraction\, and security guardrails. Each lab produces a working\nprototype that participants can extend. Along the way\, participants gain experience with prompt engineering\ntechniques\, learn to work with both text and image APIs\, and explore how to secure AI applications with content\nfiltering\, PII masking\, and prompt attack prevention. The workshop is designed to be modular — participants can\nfocus on the tracks most relevant to their interests and move at their own pace.\nWho Is This For?\nThe skills from this workshop apply across industries and roles.\n Healthcare professionals can use image understanding and multimodal capabilities to prototype tools for\nanalyzing medical imagery like X-rays or pathology slides.\n Data scientists and analysts can apply text extraction and summarization patterns to process research\npapers\, survey responses\, or unstructured datasets at scale.\n Software engineers can integrate RAG-based chatbots into existing applications to surface answers from\ninternal documentation or knowledge bases.\n Business analysts can use structured data extraction to pull insights from contracts\, customer feedback\, or\nfinancial reports without writing complex parsing logic.\n Students and Researchers in any field can prototype AI assistants that help with literature review\, data\nlabeling\, or experiment documentation.\nWhether you write code daily or have never touched Python\, the workshop's modular structure lets you engage at\nthe level that fits your background.\nSpeakers\nNithin Vommi is an Engineering Manager at Amazon Web Services\, where he has spent nearly a decade building\nand scaling large-scale distributed systems. He leads AWS Lambda streaming and queueing platforms\, focusing on\nserverless architectures and event-driven systems. Nithin has published technical articles\, holds patents\, and\nspeaks at AWS events including re:Invent. Over his time at AWS\, he has launched more than a dozen customer-\nfacing features on serverless platforms\, several highlighted at AWS re:Invent and broadly adopted by enterprises.\nHis current interests include serverless\, generative AI\, and event-driven design patterns.\nTejas Ghadge is engineering head for AWS Amplify\, AWS Lambda Event Driven Applications and AWS Lambda\nDeveloper Experience where he leads an organization of 100+ engineers/managers across multiple sites in US and\nCanada. With over 14 years of experience at AWS\, Tejas brings deep operational and architectural experience from\n– operating large scale (millions of requests per second) event driven systems\, leading and analyzing hundreds of\noperational incidents and successfully launching dozens of delightful customer features for AWS Lambda and AWS\nAmplify customers.\nTechnical Requirements\nLaptop with a modern web browser (Chrome\, Firefox\, or Edge)\n2. Stable internet connection\n3. No local software installation required — labs run in a browser-based IDE and a temporarily provided AWS account\n4. No prior machine learning or data science experience required\nKey Takeaways for Participants\n1. How to use Amazon Bedrock APIs for text generation\, embeddings\, image generation\, and multimodal tasks.\n2. Working prototypes across five tracks: text generation\, RAG chatbot\, document summarizer\, image generator/editor\, multimodal chatbot\, and structured data extractor\n3. Practical prompt engineering techniques applicable across models — summarization\, content creation\, translation\, analysis\, and code generation\n4. Hands-on experience implementing guardrails for content blocking\, PII masking\, and prompt injection defense\n–  IEEE Professional certificate and Hrs will be offered to those attendees who pass a simple quiz at the end of class\, with a $7 fee.\nParking :\nClick on the following link: https://www.offstreet.io/events/XM21K0JV\nand enter your vehicle license plate.\nCo-sponsored by: Neha\,  Shiny\, Mike\, Anil\, sheree\nSpeaker(s): Nithin\,\nRoom: 142\, Bldg: Harding Building\, 1215 E Columbia St \, Seattle\,\, Washington\, United States\, 98122\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/556516
