2023 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop: LLMs & Generative AI - A discussion and debate
2023 IEEE Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop
The 2023 Western New York Image and Signal Processing Workshop (WNYISPW) is a premiere venue for promoting research involving applications of AI, image and signal processsing research in the Western New York region and for facilitating iteraction between academic researchers, industry professionals, and students.
The workshop is organized as a morning session, a Poster session along with catered lunch, and an afternoon session.
Morning session:
Oral presentations covering a diverse set of submitted, reviewed and accepted research submissions.
Invited presentations on Neuroscience advances in analysis, image & signal processing, statistical, and experimental design techniques to uncover neural functions of the human brain and development of techniques for identifying anomalous neural behavioral patterns (neuromarkers) based on the acquisition and analysis of inherently noisy multi-dimensional signals.
Lunch.
Poster Session exhibiting a diverse set of submitted, reviewed and accepted research submissions.
Afternoon session:
Oral presentations covering a diverse set of submitted, reviewed and accepted research.
Invited presentation involving photonics, imaging and real-time computational processes.
Invited presentations on the capabilities, limitations, ethical risks, accountability, and guardrails of Large Language Models and Generative AI.
Panel discussion and debate on how Generative AI applications may be optimized to augment, rather than detract, from the human experience.
The workshop will be held in a hybrid in-person / virtual format on Friday, November 3rd, 2023 from 8:00 AM (check-in) to 5:30 PM at the RIT Student Development Center.
For details, see the workshop webpage at: https://ewh.ieee.org/r1/rochester/sp/WNYISPW2023.html
Awards will be given for best student paper and best student abstract.
