| 11.01.2022 | Problem Definition in the Digital Democracy |
Talk title: Problem Definition in the Digital Democracy Speaker affiliation: Prof. Dr. Fabrizio Gilardi, Department of Political Science of the University of Zurich. Talk abstract: How does an issue become a political problem? No issue inherently requires political responses. Instead, political actors construct arguments regarding the nature of a given problem and connect them to particular policy actions. This phenomenon,... more |
| 14.12.2021 | Reverse AD for an Array Language with Nested Parallelism |
Title: Reverse AD for an Array Language with Nested Parallelism - Redundant Execution: A Practical Backpropagator Speaker affiliation: Prof. Dr. Cosmin Oancea, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Talk abstract: Automatic differentiation (AD) is a practical way for computing derivatives of functions that are expressed as programs. AD has been recognized as one of the key pillars of the current machine learning (ML) revolution,... more |

Talk title: Developing and implementing contextualised Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) designs - experiences from a PROBRAL project.
Speaker affiliation: Tobias Kreuter, Ph.D. candidate at the Chair for Information Systems & Supply Chain Management, University of Münster.
Talk abstract: Tobias speaks about his recent research in relation to the PROBRAL project “... more |
| 30.11.2021 | RP-Mod & RP-Crowd: Moderator- and Crowd-Annotated German News Comment Datasets |
Talk title: RP-Mod & RP-Crowd: Moderator- and Crowd-Annotated German News Comment Datasets Speaker affiliation: Dennis Assenmacher, Chair of Data Science: Statistics and Optimizations, University of Münster Talk abstract: Abuse and hate are penetrating social media and many comment sections of news media companies. These platform providers invest considerable efforts to moderate user-generated contributions to prevent... more |
| 23.11.2021 | Pathways Towards the Normalization of Digital Transformations |
Talk title: Pathways Towards the Normalization of Digital Transformations
Speaker affiliation: Dr. Noel Carroll, National University of Ireland Galway.
Talk abstract: Ongoing acceleration of digital transformations (DTs) poses major challenges for organizations, including needs to invest in the adoption of digital technologies, rapidly and continuously, merely to survive.... more |
| 16.11.2021 | When do good communication models fail in global virtual teams? |
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 |
| 09.11.2021 | Ethics in AI: A Challenging Task |
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 |
| 26.10.2021 | Watch Me Get Better! – Algorithm Aversion and Demonstrating the Ability to Learn |
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Benedikt Berger, Department of Information Systems, the University of Münster, Germany. |
| 19.10.2021 | Augmenting the algorithm: Emerging human-in-the-loop work configurations |
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Margunn Aanestad, Department of Information Systems, University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. Abstract: How do configurations of humans and algorithms evolve as firms adopt artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and what are the implications for work and organization? We explored these questions through a two-year long case study of an organization in the international maritime... more |
