Galea is an award-winning platform that merges next-generation biometrics with mixed reality. It is the first device to integrate a wide range of physiological signals, including EEG, EMG, EDA, PPG, and eye-tracking, into a single headset. In this session, Conor and Eva will provide a live demonstration of the device and its capabilities, showcasing its potential for a variety of applications, from gaming to training and rehabilitation. They will give an overview of the different hardware and software components of the system, highlighting how it can be used to analyze user experiences in real time. Attendees will get an opportunity to ask questions at the end.

$Scalable and Efficient AI: From Supercomputers to Smartphones Speakers: Torsten Hoefler, Professor in the Scalable Parallel Computing Lab at ETH Zürich Host: Saeed Maleki, Principal Research SDE at Microsoft Research Billion-parameter artificial intelligence models have proven to show exceptional performance in a large variety of tasks ranging from natural language processing, computer vision, and image generation to mathematical reasoning and algorithm generation. Those models usually require large parallel computing systems, often called AI Supercomputers, to be trained initially. We will outline several techniques ranging from data ingestion, parallelization, to accelerator optimization that improve the efficiency of such training systems. Yet, training large models is only a small fraction of practical artificial intelligence computations. Efficient inference is even more challenging - models with hundreds-of-billions of parameters are expensive to use. We continue by discussing model compression and optimization techniques such as fine-grained sparsity as well as quantization to reduce model size and significantly improve efficiency during inference. These techniques may eventually enable inference with powerful models on hand-held devices.$
