SUMMARY:Sinai Forum: Adventures in Science Literacy with Neil deGrasse Tyson
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sinai Forum at Purdue University Northwest for Adventures in Science Literacy with Neil deGrasse Tyson. \nIn Adventures in Science Literacy\, Neil deGrasse Tyson explores the essential role science literacy plays in shaping our understanding of the universe. He highlights the wonders of discovery and the consequences of ignorance\, urging audiences to embrace curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge. \nThrough humor and insight\, Tyson demonstrates how science empowers us to make informed decisions and unlock new possibilities in our everyday lives. His presentation inspires a deeper appreciation for science’s impact on society and personal growth. In this illustrated talk\, examples of each will be drawn from across time and cultures\, culminating in a commentary on the state of science in America today. \n\nPurchase Your Tickets \nSee the Full Sinai Line-Up \nLocation\nStardust Event Center\, Blue Chip Casino\n777 Blue Chip Drive\nMichigan City\, IN 46360

SUMMARY:"Less is More — Toward Efficient Vision Transformers in Perception and Reasoning" Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the CS & CIVS Distinguished Speaker Seminar presented by Professor Yang Ni. \nThe remarkable success of recent large foundation models stems from the versatility of the transformer architecture and large-scale pre-training on massive multimodal datasets. Originally introduced in natural language processing\, the attention-centric transformer design has become the dominant paradigm across domains. \nMore recently\, transformers have emerged as the backbone of modern computer vision models. However\, when high-resolution images are processed\, they are decomposed into thousands of tokens\, orders of magnitude more than typical text inputs\, causing the quadratic computational complexity. \nTo address this challenge\, current research has focused on reducing the number of image tokens participating in attention. A central question then arises: which tokens truly carry essential information\, and which can be safely pruned? \nThis talk provides an overview of recent advances in token reduction strategies for efficient transformers\, with an emphasis on large vision-language models (LVLMs) where perception and reasoning are deeply integrated. \nLocation \nCIVS Theater\, Powers Building\nHammond Campus
