AI Tech Week A’dam: Research
Itโs time for the first ever ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ! Perspectives from research, entrepreneurship, talent and applications will all be covered during four different afternoon events. Do we see you there?
Interested in state-of-the-art research in Amsterdam? Four ICAI Amsterdam Labs will talk about the research they are undertaking in collaboration with academia, industry and government. We cover it all in this afternoon event about AI research.

Algorithmic fairness in wild: a conversation
Abstract:
This talk is a conversation between an industry practitioner (Hinda Haned) and a fair AI PhD researcher (Sara Altamirano) around the question: how can we make AI-driven systems fair in practice? As the AI community is increasingly devising new debiasing or algorithmic fixes, we revisit what it means from the data scientist’s perspective what fair AI or debiasing AI entails in the day-to-day work. Through use cases, we will illustrate the challenges of ensuring fair AI in practice and the current gap in how this issue cannot be fixed through the algorithmic lens alone.

Real-World Learning:
Progress in artificial intelligence has been astonishing in the past decade. Cars self-driving on highways, machines beating go-masters, and cameras categorizing images in a pixel-precise fashion are now common place, thanks to data-and-label supervised deep learning. Despite the impressive advances, it is becoming increasingly clear that deep learning networks are heavily biased towards their training conditions and become brittle when deployed under real-world situations that differ from those perceived during learning in terms of data, labels and objectives. Simply scaling-up along all dimensions at training time seems a dead end, not only because of the compute, storage and ethical expenses, but especially as humans are easily able to generalize robustly in a data-efficient fashion. Several learning paradigms have been proposed to account for the limitations of deep learning with the i.i.d. assumption. Shifting data distributions are attacked by domain adaptation and domain generalization, changing label vocabularies are the topic of interest in zero-shot and open world learning, while varying objectives are covered in meta-learning and continual learning regimes. However, there is as of yet no learning methodology that can dynamically learn to generalize and adapt across domains, labels and tasks simultaneously, and do so in a data-efficient and fair fashion. This is the ambitious long-term goal of โreal-world learningโ and I will present some initial works from my lab to achieve it.

Learning from Controlled Sources:
The classic supervised learning problem that is taught in machine learning courses and is the subject of many machine learning competitions, is often too narrow to reflect the problems that we face in practice. Historical datasets typically reflect a combination of a source of randomness (for example customers making browsing and buying decisions) and a controlling mechanism such as a ranker or highlighting heuristics (badges, promotions, etc.).
