SUMMARY:Belief transport: The mathematical theory of learning agents
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Learning agents\, which include humans and (ideally) AI agents\, take action in the world and learn from the outcomes. I will present our recent efforts toward an integrated theory of learning agents that span learning\, planning\, and social reasoning. The talk will focus on cooperative communication as an extended case study\, and suggest directions\, implications\, and limitations of the proposed approach.  \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Patrick Shafto is Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Rutgers University – Newark and Program Manager at DARPA’s I2O office. He spent the previous two years as Member of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study. Research in his lab focuses on mathematical foundations of learning in humans and machines. He has received honors and awards including an NSF CAREER award\, chair in Data Science\, and outstanding reviewer awards at NeurIPS and ICML. His research has been supported by NSF (EHR\, CISE\, SBE)\, DARPA\, DoD\, NIH\, and the intelligence community and is a fellow of the Cognitive Science Society.  \n\n\n\nLight breakfast will be served.

SUMMARY:Art by Humans and Machines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this Campus Point Connection\, where Larry O’Gorman of Nokia Bell Labs will consider how art and technology fuse to create interactive experiences. \n\n\n\nO’Gorman will trace the evolution of tech-enhanced artworks by examining the histories of video\, audio\, biometrics and machine learning. Expect to hear about Bell Labs’ earliest collaborations with visionaries like Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham to today’s cutting-edge creations. \n\n\n\nGateway South: Room 216 \n\n\n\nABSTRACT \n\n\n\nIn the last decade\, the art and theater worlds have increasingly endeavored to create immersive experiences for their audiences. In many cases\, this entails the use of cameras and other sensors\, combined with recognition techniques so audience input can modify the artwork. Recent machine learning advancements have also increased artists’ enthusiasm for creating technology-enhanced artworks. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Larry O’Gorman of Nokia Bell Labs will discuss interactive methodologies using patterns from video\, audio\, biometrics\, and machine learning. O’Gorman will also show a sampling of the interactive artworks starting with the Experiments in Art and Technology that involved New York artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham working with Bell Labs engineers in the 1960s\, and up to present day.

SUMMARY:Amy Zhang – Sociotechnical Designs for Democratic and Pluralistic Governance of Social Media and AI
DESCRIPTION:In-person attendance is open to Princeton University faculty\, staff\, students and alumni. This talk is open to the public via Zoom.  \n\n\n\nDecisions about policies when using widely-deployed technologies\, including social media and more recently\, generative AI\, are often made in a centralized and top-down fashion. Yet these systems are used by millions of people\, with a diverse set of preferences and norms. Who gets to decide what are the rules\, and what should the procedures be for deciding them—and must we all abide by the same ones? This talk draws on theories and lessons from offline governance to reimagine how sociotechnical systems could be designed to provide greater agency and voice to everyday users and communities. This includes the design and development of: 1) personal moderation and curation controls that are usable and understandable to laypeople\, 2) tools for authoring and carrying out governance to suit a community’s needs and values\, and 3) decision-making workflows for large-scale democratic alignment that are legitimate and consistent. \n\n\n\nBio:\n\n\n\nAmy X. Zhang is an assistant professor at University of Washington’s Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering\, where she leads the Social Futures Lab\, dedicated to reimagining social and collaborative systems to empower people and improve society. Her work has received awards at ACM CHI and ACM CSCW\, and she has been a Google Research Scholar\, a Belfer Fellow at the ADL\, a Berkman Klein Fellow\, a Google PhD Fellow\, and an NSF CAREER recipient and Graduate Research Fellow. \n\n\n\nHer work has been profiled in BBC’s Click television program\, CBC radio\, and featured in articles by ABC News\, The Verge\, New Scientist\, and Poynter. Besides her work at UW\, she is also a research consultant at AI2 on the Semantic Scholar team\, and prior to UW\, she was a Stanford postdoctoral researcher after completing a Ph.D. at MIT CSAIL\, where she received the George Sprowls Best Thesis Award at MIT in computer science. She received an MPhil in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge on a Gates Fellowship and a BS in Computer Science at Rutgers University\, where she was captain of the Division I Women’s tennis team. \n\n\n\nThis talk will be recorded and posted to the CITP website\, YouTube channel and to Media Central. \n\n\n\nIf you need an accommodation for a disability please contact Jean Butcher at butcher@princeton.edu at least one week before the event.

SUMMARY:NJIT Data Science Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Data Science Seminar Series in collaboration with the Department of Data Science \n\n\n\n“Structure-Enhanced Text Mining for Understanding and Augmenting Scientific Discovery” \n\n\n\nYu Zhang University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \n\n\n\nLocation: Guttenberg Information Technologies Center (GITC) Building\, Room 4402 (4th floor lecture hall) (Coffee served at 2:15 PM)  \n\n\n\nZoom Meeting Link \n\n\n\nHosted by Shuai Zhang  \n\n\n\nLanguage models pre-trained on large-scale text corpora have achieved remarkable success in building text mining systems. Meanwhile\, text is usually accompanied by various types of structural signals\, such as document metadata\, concept ontologies\, and citation networks\, that can potentially benefit the understanding of text. To enhance the effectiveness of text mining methods\, my research focuses on teaching language models to exploit structural information for both fundamental tasks and advanced domain-specific applications\, with an emphasis on understanding and augmenting scientific discovery. In the first part of the talk\, I will present structure-aware classification algorithms that can predict relevant categories of a scientific paper from hundreds of thousands of candidate classes. These methods have been adapted into the Microsoft Academic Graph production pipeline. The second part of the talk will introduce seed-guided topic mining approaches that find category-indicative entities and structural signals. In the third part\, I will discuss how to leverage multi-task language model pre-training techniques to facilitate advanced applications in the scientific domain\, such as patient-to-article retrieval and paper-reviewer matching. Finally\, I will outline future research directions\, including structure-aware usage of large language models\, flexible translation between different types of scientific data\, and data mining for accelerating science and innovation.  \n\n\n\nYu Zhang is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, advised by Prof. Jiawei Han. Prior to UIUC\, he received his B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Peking University. Yu’s research focuses on structure-enhanced text mining and its applications in scientific literature understanding. His first-authored papers have been published in top-tier venues in the fields of data mining\, natural language processing\, and information retrieval. Yu has been awarded the UIUC Dissertation Completion Fellowship and the Yunni & Maxine Pao Memorial Fellowship.
