Speaker: Dr. Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa, The University of Texas at Austin, USA. Abstract: Global virtual teams represent temporary work systems that are assembled for a joint task, performed by team members who collaborate primarily via digital technologies. Team members span geography and culture and often have only a narrow period of shared work hours. Within highly constrained temporal spaces, team members coordinate and collaborate on joint tasks with... more |

Talk title: Ethics in AI: A Challenging Task Speaker affiliation: Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Institute for Experiential AI, Northeastern University. Talk abstract: In the first part we cover five current specific challenges through examples: (1) discrimination (e.g., facial recognition, justice, sharing economy, language models); (2) phrenology (e.g., biometric based predictions); (3) unfair digital commerce (e.g., exposure and... more |
| 02.11.2021 | Influence diffusion in social networks: modelling, prediction, and control |
Speaker: Dr. Doina Bucur, University of Twente, The Netherlands. Abstract: Information (of influence) diffuses via links in a social network, and, even assuming that the network structure is relatively static, the size of an information cascade is hard to estimate well, both over a model and over a real social network. We cover models of information diffusion, then look at methods to predict ‘important’ nodes in the network, for example single nodes... more |
