SUMMARY:Sinai Forum: The Power of Unity: Rekindling the Spirit of Optimism with Platon
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sinai Forum at Purdue University Northwest for The Power of Unity: Rekindling the Spirit of Optimism with Platon. \nPlaton\, a master storyteller and photographer\, captures the essence of humanity through portraits of both powerful figures and everyday people. His work reveals the power of unity in times of division\, urging us to embrace our differences as a force for positive change. \n“Something is fundamentally shifting in the values of our society\,” says Platon. “It is time to celebrate a new set of cultural heroes: those who inspire us with their courage and move us with their integrity and compassion for fellow men and women.” Through his evocative presentation\, Platon fosters connection\, reflection and a renewed sense of hope. \n\nPurchase Your Tickets \nSee the Full Sinai Line-Up \nLocation\nPurdue Northwest James B.

SUMMARY:Oaktober Fest: Moonlight & Moth Light Haunted Hike
DESCRIPTION:Step into the haunted arboretum for a chilling night of ghost stories\, spectral encounters and emotional echoes that linger in the trees. \nGuided by the enigmatic Memory Keeper\, guests will follow moonlit paths where ghost tales unfold at every turn—whispers of sorrow\, strange disappearances and the unseen forces that still\nroam the woods. Leave a memory on the sacred tree. Whisper a secret to the reflective pool. And make a final offering to escape the forest’s grasp. \nThe night ends around a fireplace\, where storyteller Mike McDowell conjures eerie local lore and ghost stories that tie directly into the haunted path you’ve just walked. This isn’t about jump scares—it’s about dread in the dark\, the feeling that something is watching and the stories that follow you home. \n*Appropriate for youth ages 12+ \nRegister to Attend \nArboretum admission fees apply for non-members. \nOaktober Fest Details

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
