The Climate Pocket - Exploring Local Climate Impacts with Machine Learning

How would a 20$ carbon price impact the flood risk in Sinop? The answer to this question of policy impact is critical for local policy making or building out climate-resilient infrastructure, such as wetlands. For exploring the local impact of a single climate policy scenario, scientists have to run a high-resolution climate model. If naively done, however, exploring multiple scenarios with a high-resolution climate model would take multiple weeks on the world’s largest supercomputers and consume the same energy a coal power plant would generate in an hour. This talk presents how the combination of machine learning and climate modeling can reduce the computational complexity of running climate models from weeks to minutes. I will present an overview and common pitfalls to make use machine learning for climate modeling. Looking forward we hope to be able to run a climate model on smartphones to quickly explore and understand local impacts.

Perceptually Guided Next-Generation Displays

We spend a tremendous amount of time front of our mobile phones and computer screens. But, unfortunately, these screens show us flat two-dimensional images. This talk will explore a research path towards next-generation displays that provides three-dimensional and realistic pictures. The key to this research is designing display hardware but also understanding "what is real" in terms of our visual perception. Join me to learn how one can combine display hardware engineering with perceptual sciences to craft new displays supporting virtual and augmented reality applications.

Post-human Experience in The Post-digital Era

Esra Ozkan’s curatorial practice focuses on the raw material to highlight cognitive experiences created by interdisciplinary artists using emerging new technologies. She frequently collaborates with interdisciplinary artists/technologists who deal with the political and social problems caused by emerging technologies. Esra Ozkan’s curatorial and academic writings bring philosophy together with the post-digital terminology and the effects of Post-human concepts in interdisciplinary arts.

Responsibly Deploying AI for Public Service: Examples and Considerations

How are AI and data science methods utilized in public policy applications? Bhargavi Ganesh will be discussing some of the societal considerations we should take before deploying an AI-driven system. With her current work as a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, she will use examples from both her career so far and her experiences!

Teaching Computers to Think About Images The Way People Do

Machine learning (ML) algorithms have advanced rapidly in the past 10 years and can now learn to perform narrowly-specified tasks if they are given enough training data. People, however, can quickly learn new things even if they are given vague or ambiguous instructions. My research uses brain data to teach ML systems to think more like the way people do. Our aim is to make ML systems that have the same flexible intelligence as people.

Defining A New Usership: Applying Design Thinking to Your AI Projects

In this speech, I will introduce and dive deep into what the design thinking process is and how it applies to existing design challenges with human-centered solutions. As we move towards a "new usership" of both individual human, AI, and collective intelligence, how do we design with these users at the center of our solutions? Who are we designing for in the future of tech? And how can we apply existing design thinking principles in new ways in our own AI projects?

Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that society faces today, requiring rapid action from all corners. In this talk, I will describe how machine learning can be a potentially powerful tool for addressing climate change, when applied in coordination with policy, engineering, and other areas of action. From energy to agriculture to disaster response, I will describe high impact problems where machine learning can help through avenues such as distilling decision-relevant information, optimizing complex systems, and accelerating scientific experimentation. I will also describe important considerations for doing responsible and impactful work in this area.
