SUMMARY:An introduction to federated learning
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is hosting a seminar on September 16\, 2022\, at 4.00 pm as part of the Guest Lecture Series. Dr Anurag Singh\, Associate Professor and Dean of Research and Consultancy\, NIT Delhi\, will deliver a talk on the topic “Federated Learning”. \nAbstract of the talk \nThe most crucial resource for any business\, individual\, or person in the world is data. Everyone\, whether an individual or an institution\, wants to prevent a data breach. High-quality data must be subjected to machine learning algorithms. The model is trained using traditional machine learning techniques\, which save data to one server. There is a chance that this method will expose personal information. A machine learning technique called federated learning (FL) enables machine learning models to train on various datasets located on various sites without sharing data. Without putting training data in a centralised location\, it enables the development of a common global model. Additionally\, it permits personal information to stay in local places\, lowering the risk. \nA new area of machine learning called federated learning already offers greater advantages than conventional machine learning techniques. \nData Security: Training data is kept locally on the devices\, negating the need for a data pool. \nData variety: Heterogeneous data since it incorporates information from various users. \nReal-time continuous learning: Client data is used to enhance models continuously. \nFederated Learning is applied in the field of IoT\, Healthcare\, smartphones\, Advertising\, Autonomous Vehicles etc. \nSpeaker’s Profile \nDr Anurag Singh is currently working as the Associate Professor and Dean of Research and Consultancy at NIT Delhi. He received his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. His research areas are Network Theory\, Dynamics on/of Networks\, Opinion Dynamics\, Epidemic Modeling\, Intelligent transportation system etc. Dr Anurag Singh has teaching experience at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He has taught courses ranging from the introductory level to specialized courses in Computer Science and Engineering\, and Mathematics. Currently\, he is mentoring students at graduate and undergraduate levels at the National Institute of Technology Delhi\, India. In addition\, he has also been supervising PhD students. He has around 70 publications featured across various leading journals and three DST-funded projects to his credit.

SUMMARY:From scratch to the published manuscript
DESCRIPTION:An ideal research process relies on some essential characteristics. One among them is to communicate the research findings. Peer reviewed research journals serve a huge role in this. However\, researchers lack an understanding of how to write a publishable research paper. Grasping the basic structure of a scientific paper would help the researcher to decide what should be included in each section. There will be pitfalls in each of these sections but can be avoided if approached strategically. Along with the other components\, target journal selection and authorship is also an important aspect of this entire activity. \nSuccessful production of an article for submission to a peer‐reviewed scientific journal requires substantial effort. To ensure this success\, The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is planning for a one-day online workshop on How to write and publish a research article. \nDate: August 06\, 2022 \nTime: 09.30 am to 1.00 pm \nThe workshop expects more than four hundred participants. It is open to both students and faculty from UG\, PG and PhD programmes. Assistant Professors Dr V Manikandan and Dr Murali Krishna Enduri are coordinating the event. The workshop will give a general idea about topics such as\, different options to publish research works\, benefits of publishing research articles\, steps to write a review paper or research article from scratch\, hands-on training with LaTeX to write a research article etc.

SUMMARY:Know your style of writing
DESCRIPTION:The art of writing can be branched out into different types depending upon the purpose of each piece of writing. You might have come across varied styles of writing such as creative writing\, academic writing\, technical writing and many more. Have you ever tried to deduce the difference between all these writing styles? Well\, we offer you an informative session that will help you gather a better understanding of different styles of writing. \nThe Department of English has scheduled a webinar on the topic “Academic Writing & Creative Writing” under the theme “Language and Society” with Prof Vanessa Sasson as the keynote speaker. \nDate: May 05\, 2022 \nTime: 6.30 PM IST \nAcademic writing and creative writing seem to be pulling the act of writing and the writers in two different directions. A lot of writers\, especially aspiring writers\, tend to think of both genres as catering to very different audiences and fulfilling very different needs in very different contexts. Does that mean you can be only one and not the other? Do you have to choose? And how do you decide what to commit to? In this talk\, Prof Vanessa Sasson will share her experience of writing in both capacities and discuss the joys and challenges of both. \nAbout the Speaker \nVanessa R Sasson is a professor of Religious Studies in the Liberal Arts Department of Marianopolis College where she has been teaching since 1999. She is also a Research Fellow at the University of the Free State and a Research Member for CERIAS at UQAM. She has published widely as a scholar\, with a number of academic books to her credit. Her most recent book was published by the University of Hawaii Press (2021) and is entitled\, Jewels\, Jewelry\, and Other Shiny Things in the Buddhist Imaginary. Yasodhara and the Buddha (Bloomsbury\, 2021) is her first novel. She is currently completing the sequel. \nJoin the Webinar to master the art of writing!

SUMMARY:Scalar conservation laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is arranging the fifth instalment of the Departmental Distinguished Lecture Series on April 25\, 2022\, at 3.45 pm IST. Reputed Mathematician\, Prof A Adimurthi will deliver an informative lecture on the topic ‘Controllability of Scalar Conservation Laws with Discontinuous Flux’. \nAbout the Talk \nNavier-Stokes and Euler equations play an important role in studying the flow of incompressible fluids. Weak solutions to these equations can be obtained by Galerkin method but the uniqueness is a big open problem. It is a big challenge to obtain an extra condition for the class of functions\, so that in this class obtain the existence and uniqueness. To understand this phenomenon\, it is better to look at a one-dimensional case where the equation turns out to be viscous Burger’s equation or Burger’s equation with non-linearity is of quadratic order. In this talk\, we will restrict to Burger’s type equations called the Scalar Conservation Laws in one space dimension with strict convex flux. Way back in the 50’s\, this equation was studied by Lax and Oleinik and obtained an explicit formula for a solution. Oleinik showed that this satisfies an extraction called the Entropy Condition and then showed that in this class\, the solution is unique. Later Kruzkov\, in an ingenious way\, generalized this to obtain a unique solution for Scalar Conservation Law in higher dimensions and Lipschitz fluxes. This result was taken up by Zuazua and his collaborators and studied the Optimal Controllability for Burgers equation. They showed the existence of optimal control and to capture this\, they derived a numerical algorithm whose convergence is still open. In a different direction\, this was attacked\, and the problem was completely solved. Getting the optimal solution is via projection method in a Hilbert space. Recently\, this was extended in a non-trivial way to conservation laws with convex discontinuous flux. The talk will explain the main ideas of this work. \nAbout the Speaker \nA mathematician of repute\, Prof A Adimurthi has been associated with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Centre for Applicable Mathematics Bangalore. At present\, he is working as a visiting professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics\, IIT Kanpur. He has authored more than a hundred research articles on a wide range of topics including Partial differential equations\, Functional analysis\, Numerical analysis\, Calculus of variations\, Optimal control\, and many others. Prof Adi Adimurthi has been elected as a fellow of; The Indian Academy of Sciences (F.A.Sc) Bengaluru (1996)\, The National Academy of Sciences (F.N.A.Sc)\, India in 1997\, The Indian National Science Academy (F.N.A) in 1998\, The World Academy of Sciences(TWAS) in 2018\, Raja Ramanna and DST J.C. Bose National. Along with these fellowships\, Professor Adimurthi has also been honoured with the prestigious Dr Zakir Hussain Award in 2013.

SUMMARY:Ultra-low power and agile IC design for novel sensor nodes for the Internet of Things
DESCRIPTION:The Internet of Things (IoT) has greatly increased our awareness of the world and broadened the scope of our engagement with it. In the first episode of the ECE Department Guest Lecture Series\, the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at SRM University-AP is organising a lecture on April 23\, 2022\, from 10.20 am to 12.00 noon. Dr Orazio Aiello\, Assistant Professor at the University of Genoa\, Italy\, will engage the audience on the topic Ultra-Low-Power and Agile IC Design for novel Sensor Nodes for the Internet of Things on that day. \nThe vision of a world where pervasive integrated electronic systems embedded in everyday life objects (e.g. household appliances\, surveillance cameras\, healthcare systems) are fully interconnected to collect\, process\, and exchange useful information requires energy-autonomous systems for distributed sensing and data acquisition. The low-cost requirement demands a small area\, low design effort\, digital-like shrinkage across CMOS generations\, and design/technology portability. The possibility to exploit the digital (automated) design flow even for analog building blocks can dramatically reduce the design effort of any system-on-chip that faces the analog signal. Since data processing is digital\, but most signals from the real world are analog\, almost any electronic device that interfaces with the surrounding environment will benefit from the outcomes of this investigation. In this framework\, the talk illustrates the concepts and the design flows which enable the implementation of analog functions by true digital circuits. \nBiography of the speaker: \nOrazio Aiello (Senior Member\, IEEE) received the BSc and MSc degrees (cum laude) from the University of Catania\, Italy\, in 2005 and 2008\, respectively\, the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) from the Scuola Superiore di Catania\, Italy\, in 2009\, and the PhD degree from the Politecnico di Torino\, Italy\, in 2013.\,From 2008 to 2009\, he was an Analog IC Designer and an EMC Consultant for STMicroelectronics\, Castelletto\, Italy. In 2012\, he was a Visiting PhD. A student with Monash University\, Melbourne\, Australia. In 2013\, he was a Research Fellow in a joint project with FIAT-Chrysler Automobiles\, Turin. In 2014\, he joined NXP-Semiconductors\, Nijmegen\, The Netherlands\, as a Mixed Signal IC Designer and an EMC Expert. In 2015 and 2016\, he was a Visiting Fellow with the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, Australia. Since 2015\, he has been working with the Green IC Group\, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)\, National University of Singapore\, where he has also been a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual and a Global Fellow leading the ULPIoT project. He is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Genova\, Italy. His main research interests include energy-efficient analogue-mixed signal circuits and sensor interfaces. Dr Aiello is a member of the IEEE CASS Microlearning AdHoc Committee and is/was a Technical Program Committee Member of a number of conferences\, such as NORCAS and APCCAS. \nJoin this informative lecture with Dr Orazio Aiello on April 23\, 2022 at 10.20 am IST.

SUMMARY:A hands-on session on lithium-ion battery: assembly and testing
DESCRIPTION:Allowing students to explore more into their learning domain will invariably enhance their quest for knowledge. The more students are encouraged to experiment with problems\, tools\, and substances they will work with\, the better prepared they are to face any challenge head-on. It is also a better rewarding alternative as against the conventional book learning method. \nTaking the current scenario into account\,imparting hands-on training on cutting-edge developments is an excellent exercise to inculcate scientific spirit in young minds. Such initiatives should be actively promoted to equip students on par with the fast-evolving technological realm. We are delighted to announce that the SRM-Amara Raja Center for Energy Storage Devices\, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering\, collaborates with NSS Cell-SRM AP to organise a “Hands-on Session on Lithium-ion Battery: Assembly and Testing” with the sponsorship from the DST-SERB Start-up Research Grant (SRG). \nDate: April 14\, 2022 \nTime: 9.30 am to 12.30 pm IST \nWe invite all the interested students to become part of this invigorating initiative and make the best use of this opportunity to receive an enriching training session. The event is also followed by lunch for all the participants.

SUMMARY:Programmed sadness in the desire for connections and recognition
DESCRIPTION:“Social media reality may be seen as a magical realm where we belong. That’s where the tribes gather\, and that’s the place to be – on top of the world. Social relations in “real life” have lost their importance”– David Brooks \nTechnological sadness has become the default mental state of the online billions. The Department of English at SRM University-AP organises a guest lecture titled “Programmed Sadness” on April 11\, 2022\, to discuss the emotional analytics of network cultures. Prof Geert Lovink\, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences\, will engage the participants at 3.30 pm on that day. \nWhat happens when nothing can motivate you anymore\, when all the self-optimisation techniques fail\, and you begin to carefully avoid these forms of emotional analytics? Compared to others\, your ranking is low – and this makes you sad. In this presentation\, Dutch media theorist\, internet critic and founder of the Institute of Network Cultures will discuss the dark side of the net. The mental state of internet users is tragic. Instead of empowerment and self-organisation\, what we mostly see around is anger and despair. How did we end up like this? The lecture will zoom in on the widespread techno-sadness that is produced by dominant social media platforms through ‘behavioural modification’ (also known as ‘nudging’) with the aim to keep users coming back to the app\, exposing them to even more personalised ads. Instead of empowerment and diversity\, we witness a ‘chilling effect’ of hyper conformism\, resulting in anger\, sadness\, depression and loneliness. This is the social reality today. \nAbout the speaker \nGeert Lovink is a Dutch media theorist\, internet critic and author of Uncanny Networks (2002)\, Dark Fiber (2002)\, My First Recession (2003)\, Zero Comments (2007)\, Networks Without a Cause (2012)\, Social Media Abyss (2016)\, Organization after Social Media (with Ned Rossiter\, 2018)\, Sad by Design (2019) and Stuck on the Platform (2022). He studied political science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and received his PhD from the University of Melbourne. In 2004\, he founded the Institute of Network Cultures (www.networkcultures.org) at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA). His centre organises conferences\, publications and research networks such as Video Vortex (online video)\, The Future of Art Criticism\, and MoneyLab (internet-based revenue models in the arts). Recent projects deal with digital publishing experiments\, critical meme research\, participatory hybrid events and precarity in the arts. From 2007-to 2018\, he was a Media Theory professor at the European Graduate School. In December 2021\, he was appointed Professor of Art and Network Cultures at the UvA Art History Department. \nAll students and faculty members are invited to join this illuminating session on April 11\, 2022\, at 03.30 pm via the zoom platform.

SUMMARY:AI/ML algorithms for radio access networks
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is hosting the first instalment of the Distinguished Industry-Academia Interaction Lecture in the ECE DDIAL series. The event is scheduled on April 9\, 2022\, at 10.30 am. Dr. Serene Banerjee\, Master Researcher\, Ericsson Research\, will be the keynote speaker. She will deliver a talk on the topic ‘AI/ML Based Interference Diagnostics and Mitigation for Improved Quality of Service in Radio Access Networks’. \nAbstract of the Talk \nFor coverage and capacity optimization\, Uplink Power Control is one of the key steps\, in addition to antenna tilting and Downlink Power Control. For self-organizing networks\, automated algorithms for Uplink Power Control are a necessity. However\, Uplink Power Control affects the noise in the neighbouring cells. It is important to detect this interference to monitor uplink noise. Uplink noise due to power control manifests as static interference in the channel. The current state-of-the-art baseline model is based on regression models. We have proposed automated detection of static interference in the uplink channel of cells based on machine learning models. We have evaluated the same on customer data on LTE networks with high accuracy. The detected cells are subsequently used to correct the nominal power parameter through a proposed teacher-student model based on the primary cell and its neighbours. This approach shows better performance than the state-of-the-art baseline methods. The dual of static is dynamic interferences and can be attributed to traffic load\, Passive Intermodulation (PIM) and thermal noise\, etc. PIM identification is a major component in troubleshooting modern wireless communication systems. The introduction of carrier aggregation has increased PIM occurrences. Current state-of-the-art approaches include manual rule-based and hardware-based debugging. These approaches can detect the occurrence of PIM\, long after the event occurrence and result in incurring incidental costs. We propose an ensemble of time series-based machine learning and signal processing approaches that can automatically identify PIM in real-time by analyzing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of the primary cell and its nearest neighbours. We validate our results for various environmental conditions in data available from LTE and 5G consumer networks. We have further extended the work to multi-frequency time series to handle finer time granularities and detect PIM anomalies in an online learning setting. We further propose a self-supervised reinforcement learning approach to predict PIM related anomalies before it happens. We forecast environmental conditions that give rise to PIM based on offline historical data and model to predict future occurrences. Experimental results are on real-world datasets comprising 50\,000+ cells which have shown to accurately predict PIM 60% of the time. To the best of our knowledge\, this is the first work\, where we are able to predict PIM anomalies before they happen. Post PIM-identification\, we propose a binary search-based solution that is amenable to real-time implementation. We show through simulations that this search in tandem with a reinforcement learning-based solution can dynamically mitigate and cancel PIM. Results show that the number of steps to converge\, to identify and mitigate the PIM in uplink frequency is reduced by a large factor. To summarize\, our contributions include using machine learning algorithms for: (1) robust interference classification\, (2) demonstrating p0-nominal recommender as teacher-student model\, (3) a times-series analysis-based PIM identification\, (4) extending the approach to multi-frequency time series\, and for online learning\, (5) demonstrating a self-supervised reinforcement learning approach to predict PIM anomalies before they happen\, and (6) mitigating PIM\, in spite of environmental unknowns\, by employing binary search in conjunction with ML/RL-based approaches. \nAbout the Speaker \nSerene Banerjee\, Master Researcher\, Ericsson Research\, has 17+ years of industrial experience after completing her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin\, under Prof Brian L Evans in 2004. She has completed BTech(H) in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 1999. At Ericsson\, she is focusing on developing AI/ML algorithms for Radio Access Networks. Prior to Ericsson\, she has worked with Texas Instruments\, HP\, and Johnson Controls. She has 23 peer-reviewed publications\, 9 granted patents\, and several pending.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Mathematics myth
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever thought Mathematics is a hard nut to crack? The Department of Mathematics brings to you Dr Rossi D’Souza to break the myth associated with Math. The seminar will be held on March 28\, 2022 at 03.45 pm IST. Dr D’Souza\, from Homi Bhabha Centre for Science will deliver a talk on ‘Why is the relationship between Mathematics\, Education & Society important for research?’. \nAbstract of the Talk \n“Mathematics is hard!” has been a universal refrain among school children (and often their parents) for as long as we recall. But why do so many children dislike Mathematics? Is it the way Mathematics is taught – because Math teachers follow a “rote-learning” approach instead of making sure students understand the basic concepts? Why are students from marginalized backgrounds/identities disproportionately lagging behind in & excluded from Mathematics knowledge production? Or is Mathematics really not for everybody? \nDrawing on experience from his PhD research with visually challenged students and industry experience the speaker will highlight the importance of taking into account the social factors in Mathematics Education Research to effectively address the challenges posed by STEM Education – and to work towards a world where Mathematics really is for everybody! \nSpeaker’s Profile \nDr Rossi D’Souza recently completed his PhD in Mathematics education from HBCSE-TIFR. His research interests include exploring how ableism operates in Mathematics education. Prior to working as a Research scholar\, Rossi completed his M.Tech in Modeling and Simulation from Pune University\, specializing in and then working in the field of Computational Genomics. He has also worked as a visiting lecturer at Govt. Polytechnic Mumbai\, as a medical instrument repairman at Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital\, Bangalore and as a Science Communicator on the Science Express train.

SUMMARY:Non-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Physics is going to host the sixth instalment of the Eminent Guest Lecture Series: An Odyssey of Physics on March 19\, 2022\, at 03.00 PM IST with Prof Parongama Sen from the University of Calcutta as the keynote speaker. Dr Sen will be speaking on” Non-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation”. \nProf Parongama Sen has been teaching at the University of Calcutta as Professor since 2008. She received her PhD from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics\, Calcutta in 1993. She was also awarded APS-IUSSTF Professorship in 2012-13. Her research interests include statistical physics: phase transitions and critical phenomena in magnetic systems\, networks\, quantum systems\, percolation etc. and dynamical phenomena in complex physical and social systems. \nNon-equilibrium dynamics of interacting particle systems with annihilation \nThere has been tremendous research activity on the evolution of systems comprising of interacting particles in Statistical Physics over the last few decades. This lecture particularly considers those systems in which the particles (also called reactants) may get annihilated instantaneously upon contact or merged as a single species\, both of which reduce the particle number. Some of these processes have a one-to-one correspondence with the coarsening dynamics of spin systems and play an important role in the development of non-equilibrium Statistical Physics. \nUsually\, one considers diffusive motion when the particles move freely\, and some known results in this context will be discussed. Here\, the speaker notes that the dynamics may also be considered in terms of population densities rather than individuals and examples include models of epidemic spreading. \nFinally\, she will focus on a model in which the reactant particles are driven by a dynamic bias that radically changes the scaling behaviour of the relevant quantities. The results will be presented for such a system\, highlighting the microscopic dynamics\, which reveal a crossover behaviour.

While the potential offered by DTs in designing\, monitoring and decision making is hugely appreciated by researchers\, building a comprehensive DT requires a strongly multidisciplinary approach. This lecture will discuss the definitions\, classifications\, and challenges of constructing a DT. The talk will try to define DTs suitable for engineering applications. The discussion will also focus on the availability or lack of tools for building DTs. In addition\, the talk will also cover various topics such as data\, AI\, and physics-based models. Finally\, the lecture will use some energy and healthcare examples to provide context to the DTs.

SUMMARY:Reading Skills: Insights from a Historian
DESCRIPTION:Reading means something different for everyone. Each person develops their reading skills as per their requirements. Some read to find information while others read to mine information. Some read to learn\, and some read to laugh\, some read to be entertained and some to escape. From reading the labels on new products to newspapers to novels\, the objectives of reading can be plenty. \nThe Department of English is bringing Prof Manan Ahmed – Associate Professor\, Columbia University to shed light on the reading approach and the reading skills of a historian in an interesting and interactive session. \nDate: February 17\, 2022 \nTime: 07.00 pm IST \nAbout the Speaker: \nManan Ahmed\, Associate Professor of History at Columbia University in the City of New York\, is a historian of South Asia and the littoral western Indian Ocean world from 1000-1800 CE. His areas of specialisation include intellectual history in South and Southeast Asia\, critical philosophy of history\, colonial and anti-colonial thought. Two of his books The Loss of Hindustan: The Invention of India (2020) and A Book of Conquest: The Chachnama and Muslim Origins in South Asia (2016) are published by Harvard University Press. \nAbstract: \n“Reading Skills” brings to mind dreadful reading comprehension passages given in schools and courses in communication skills. However\, reading is much more about finding answers to given questions. It is about finding the questions to ask of a passage\, blog\, article\, literary texts\, and historical texts. In this talk and interaction\, Prof Manan Ahmed would walk us through a historian’s approach to reading. The programme is intended to be a part of the department’s larger initiative to organise interactions around “Language and Society” to address all kinds of conversations about language\, communication\, writing\, speaking\, thinking\, and at a deeper level\, about connecting with others.
