Research talk: Local factor models for large-scale inductive recommendation
In many domains, user preferences are similar locally within like-minded subgroups of users, but typically differ globally between those subgroups. Local recommendation models were shown to substantially improve top-k recommendation performance in such settings. However,…
Closing remarks: Empowering software developers and mathematicians with next-generation AI
Machine learning systems have become increasingly capable of making fast, plausible predictions in diverse situations. Combining this capability with the reliability of symbolic reasoning will produce next generation AI that will empower developers and mathematicians…
Talk Series: Developer productivity
Dr. Paige Anne Rodeghero gives a research talk on “Remote onboarding of software developers and preparing students for hybrid work”. The onboarding process of software developers is a “necessary evil” for a productive software development…
Panel: Building for societal resilience
We are learning that building for societal resilience requires change in how we pursue research and engineering. This panel discusses what we have learned during the COVID response: how existing projects adapted to new and…
Opening remarks: Tech for resilient communities
This track will examine processes and techniques for developing technology in conjunction with community partners, following a social science-driven methodology which can lead to more effective, inclusive innovations with greater benefits at the local level.…
Research talk: Bucket of me: Using few-shot learning to realize teachable AI systems
We’re entering a technological era that is all about “me”—from personalized shopping recommendations to avatars, and even bespoke healthcare treatments. Deeper inspection of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, however, reveals that “me” is not really me.…
Panel: Just tech: Bringing computer science, communities, and the social sciences together to build societal resilience
Technology is meant to make life easier, help us move faster, and create efficiencies that amplify our impact. In the world of community health, this impact can mean life or death. As we strive to…
