In the fast-paced digital age, integrating Digital Twins, Data Storage, and cutting-edge Data Centers is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of transportation and infrastructure management. Digital Twins — virtual replicas of physical assets — hold immense potential to optimize operations, improve decision-making, and mitigate risks. However, the true power of these technologies is realized only when supported by robust data storage systems and advanced data centers capable of handling the vast amounts of data generated in real time. This technical talk delves deep into how the convergence of Digital Twin technology and state-of-the-art data infrastructure drives transportation transformation. From the real-time monitoring of fleets to predictive maintenance of critical infrastructure, Digital Twins provides unprecedented insights into asset performance and health. These insights are made possible by the seamless integration of IoT devices, machine learning algorithms, and data storage systems, ensuring that massive volumes of data are securely stored, efficiently processed, and made accessible for immediate action. The real backbone of this innovation lies in next-generation data storage solutions and high-performance data centers. These facilities store the vast quantities of data produced by IoT sensors and ensure real-time access to critical information, enabling swift decision-making and fostering operational efficiency. This talk will examine how advanced data management techniques, such as edge computing and cloud integration, enable the real-time synchronization of digital twins, transforming operations from reactive to proactive. Through industry case studies and examples, we will explore the technical challenges and opportunities of adopting these technologies, shedding light on managing large-scale data and ensuring infrastructure reliability effectively. As the transportation industry increasingly relies on these cutting-edge technologies, understanding the pivotal role of data storage and data centers becomes essential to unlocking the full potential of Digital Twins.

We live in interesting times. Now is an excellent time to take a step back from the frantic pace of developing new technologies and view the broad outlook for the future, in contrast with the past, looking at how we have historically thought about, observed and worked in the marine environment, compared to what lies ahead. We are at the leading edge of some game-changing technological developments with AI, robotics, computation and other areas revolutionising the way we do business in the ocean. We are also faced with some unprecedented challenges in the history of oceanography and anthropogenic impact on our planet. This presentation offers a perspective and a vision, with some examples from exciting new developments such as distributed acoustic sensing, imagining how these will transform how we observe and operate in the marine environment.

[] Free Registration (with a Zoom account; you can get one for free if you don't already have it): https://sjsu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsc-CoqjwpG9aPDHfg6Axqvn90i4uQRmqr Synopsis: For a long time, the AI/ML community relied on traditional evaluation metrics such as the confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, and recall for assessing the performance of machine learning models. However, the rapidly evolving field has been raising several ethical concerns, which calls for a more comprehensive evaluation scheme. In easy-to-understand language, this talk will delve into the quantitative analysis of model performance, emphasizing the critical importance of explainability. As ML models become increasingly complex and pervasive, understanding their decision-making processes is paramount. We'll explore various performance metrics, their limitations, and the growing need for transparency. Topics covered include Cohen’s Kappa Statistic, Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC), Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, G-measure, ROC Curve, Youden's J statistic, Type II Adversarial attack, R-squared, LIME, SHAP, and more.
