SUMMARY:Data for Good (or Scary AI and Other Dangers of Big Data)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL \nRSVP HERE \n  \nFriday\, September 14\, 2018\nLocation: Pupin 428\n1:00PM – 2:30PM\n\n\nAbstract: In our data-rich world\, we in the technology community have a responsibility to ensure that we use data for good. In this talk\, under the acronym FATES\, I will focus on these aspects of the responsible use of data: fairness\, accountability\, transparency\, ethics\, safety and security. I will give examples of how data-hungry AI-based systems can lead to harmful decisions and even fatal errors. But I will also give examples of new techniques we can use to reduce some of these bad effects. Above all\, we need to work with ethicists\, social scientists\, and humanists to build systems with FATES in mind as we design our technology not after we deploy it. \n  \nBio: Biography: Jeannette M.

SUMMARY:Cross-device User Clustering at Adobe
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\nWednesday\, September 26\, 2018\n5:00PM – 6:30PM\nSchapiro CEPSR\, Davis Auditorium (412)\n \nABSTRACT: As people now engage with digital properties using a myriad of devices such as laptops\, smart phones\, tablets\, connected TVs and gaming consoles\, the traditional cookie-based or device-level views of online user interaction are too narrow. Even when using a single device\, a person may be assigned multiple IDs due to cookie churn or the use of different browsers. Marketers are looking through a fragmented lens and are spending their marketing dollars without understanding more than a fractional part of consumer interactions.\n\n\nThis talk will give an overview of how Adobe is tackling this problem using graph processing techniques\, going over our journey from the initial research ideas to a fully productized product that works at scale running in the cloud while respecting user privacy. Focus will be on our open-source technology stack\, including Apache Spark\, GraphX\, OpenTSDB\, … along with a description of our algorithms and the challenges we went through to run them at very large scale on Amazon Web Services.\n\nBio: Charles is a data engineer/scientist at Adobe\, where he has been involved on many projects revolving around big data\, infrastructure and data science. Passionate about data\, Charles is constantly on the lookout for the newest technologies and applications related to data science at scale. After graduating with a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from EPITA\, France\, in 2010\, Charles has since focused his career on the online advertising industry\, working at an ad network\, a Demand-Side Platform\, and currently Adobe’s Data Management Platform.

SUMMARY:Truth-Seeking in the Age of Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 12\, 2018\n1:00PM – 2:30PM\nPupin Hall\, Room 428\n \n\n“Truth-Seeking in the Age of Disinformation”\n \nAbstract: Given the constantly growing proliferation of false claims online in recent years\, there has been also a growing research interest in automatically distinguishing false rumors from factually true claims. In this talk\, we will present several related problems. First\, in the context of investigative journalism\, we will address the problem of automatically identifying which claims in a political debate are most worthy and should be prioritized for fact-checking. We will then present a general-purpose deep learning framework for fully automatic fact checking using external sources\, which taps the potential of the entire Web as a knowledge source to confirm or reject a claim. We will further extend this framework to the context of community question answering\, where the goal is to decide whether an answer to a factual question is factually true or false. We will also cover some related problems such as stance detection\, trust-worthiness estimation for Web sites\, political ideology\, bias and propaganda detection\, as well as finding seminar users and opinion manipulation trolls in news community forums.\n \nBio: Dr. Preslav Nakov is a Senior Scientist at the Qatar Computing Research Institute\, HBKU. His research interests include computational linguistics and natural language processing\, machine translation\, question answering\, fact-checking\, sentiment analysis\, lexical semantics\, Web as a corpus\, and biomedical text processing.\n \nAt QCRI\, he leads a project whose aim is to develop a news aggregation application to limit the effect of fake news\, propaganda and media bias by helping users step out of their bubble and achieve a healthy news diet. He is also a co-PI of an MIT-QCRI collaboration project on Arabic Speech and Language Processing for Cross-Language Informatio n Search and Fact Verification\, and he was a co-PI of another MIT-QCRI collaboration project on Speech and Language Processing for Arabic (2013-2016).\n \nPreslav Nakov received his PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley (supported by a Fulbright grant and a UC Berkeley fellowship)\, and a MSc degree from the Sofia University. He was a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore\, a honorary lecturer in the Sofia University\, and a research staff in the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
