The speaker, among others, recognizes the importance of studying underlying entities and relations beyond visual appearance, following an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_perception" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Active Perception</a> paradigm. This talk will present the speaker's efforts over the last decade, ranging from 1) reasoning beyond appearance for vision and language tasks (<a href="https://huggingface.co/tasks/visual-question-answering" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">VQA</a>, <a href="https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/tasks/image_captioning" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">captioning</a>, <a href="https://paperswithcode.com/task/text-to-image-generation" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">T2I</a>, etc.), and addressing their evaluation misalignment, through 2) reasoning about implicit properties, to 3) their roles in a Robotic visual concept learning framework. The talk will also feature the Active Perception Group (APG)'s projects addressing emerging challenges of the nation in automated mobility and intelligent transportation domains, at the ASU School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI).</div>

He founded and directs the ASU Active Perception Group, and currently serves as the topic lead (situation awareness) at the Institute of Automated Mobility, Arizona Commerce Authority. He is also a thrust lead (AVAI) at Advanced Communications Technologies (ACT, a Science and Technology Center under the New Economy Initiative, Arizona). His work includes exploring visual primitives and representation learning in visual (and language) understanding, grounding them by natural language and high-level reasoning over the primitives for intelligent systems, secure/robust AI, and V&amp;L model evaluation alignment. Yang is a recipient of the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship 2011, the NSF CAREER award 2018, and the Amazon AWS Machine Learning Research Award 2019.

    <p>Rediscover
     how some members of the Black Civil Rights Movement also played 
    essential roles as activists in the US Disability Rights Movement, and 
    paved the way for disability rights activists to influence social change
     and legislation. Many people with disabilities were part of both 
    movements and continue to be today.</p>

    <p>Some of the intersection of  <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81001496" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Crip Camp</a> shows
     how intersectional being black and disabled can be - beyond the Black 
    Panthers. Further back in history, learn new things about the famous 
    Black figures who also had disabilities. For instance, Harriet Tubman 
    lived with epilepsy and narcolepsy, a reminder that disability is both 
    directly and indirectly linked to many forms of violence.</p>
    <p>In the 
    links described below, you may rediscover or learn for the first time 
    about Black history  being made in this moment, and there is so much to

<Title>Intern of the Week: Netty Lichtman</Title>
<Tagline>Check out Netty's internship!</Tagline>

    <strong>Name: </strong>Netty Lichtman<br><br><strong>Pronouns: </strong>he/they<br><strong><br>Semester of Internship: </strong>Fall 2023<br><br><strong>Major: </strong>Social Work<br><br><strong>Current Class Level:</strong> Senior <br><br><strong>This semester I completed a(n)...: </strong>Internship<br><br><strong>Internship, Co-op, or Research Site (Company/Organization Name): </strong>Baltimore County Public Schools, Woodmoor Elementary School<br><strong><br>Location of the Organization (City, State): </strong>Lochearn, Maryland<br><br><strong>Title of position:</strong> School Social Work Intern<br><br><strong>Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities:</strong><br>I provide social work services and supports to elementary schoolers. These are both universal supports to the entire elementary school and individualized supports for students with social-emotional developmental delays. A typical day for me is a mix of crisis support, generalist services like the food bank or the social-emotional curriculum, networking with our community partners to bring services to the school, and having the silliest conversations all with the students' needs in mind.<br><br><strong>Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?</strong><br>This is my Field Placement with the BSW program. I was recommended for this placement by my social work advisor, and the applications were through the program as well as through the BCPS social work processes.<br><strong><br>What resources did you use to find your current experience?</strong><br>BSW Program<br><br><strong>What have you enjoyed the most about your position and organization?</strong><br>I love working with kids and being able to be there for them when it can often feel like the systems are working against them. We were all kids at one point, and although looking back it may not seem like it, it truly is a challenging part of our lives. I enjoy being able to help them through that process.<br><br>How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?<br>I know I am making a tangible impact on these kids' lives. Seeing them reaching their goals and being able to make friends, express their feelings and needs, and improve their overall well-being, it is super meaningful to me.<br><strong><br>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?</strong><br>I would highly recommend going for it. Even if you are not sure that it will be applicable to your field, trust me, it will be. The skills you will obtain just through going through the process and then showing up are helpful in whatever professional field. Go for it!<br><br><strong>Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.</strong><br><div>Just showing up makes a bigger difference than you could imagine.</div>
