While algorithmic decision-making processes have the potential to lead to fairer and more objective decisions\, emerging research suggests that they can also lead to unequal and unfair treatments and outcomes for certain groups or individuals. \nThis Summer School is an attempt to engage multi-disciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners to explore the social and technical dimensions of bias\, discrimination and fairness in machine learning and algorithm design. The course focuses specifically (although not exclusively) on gender\, race and socioeconomic based bias and data-driven predictive models leading to decisions. \nA basic understanding of machine learning is strongly recommended. \nObjectives\n\nUnderstanding bias and discrimination\nExploring the harms from bias in machine learning (discriminatory effects of algorithmic decision-making) \nIdentifying the sources of bias and discrimination in machine learning \nMitigating bias in machine learning (strategies for addressing bias)\nRecommendations to guide the ethical development and evaluation of algorithms\n\nConfirmed Speakers\n\nBehrouz Babaki\, IVADO Post-Doc at Polytechnique Montreal\nFernando Diaz\, Principal Researcher and lead of the Montreal FATE Research Group at Microsoft\nMarc-Antoine Dilhac\, Professor of Philosophy at the Université de Montréal\, Chair Holder – Canada Research Chair in Public Ethics and Political Theory\, Leader of the Montreal Declaration Responsible AI Development Committee\nLuc Faucher\, Professor of Philosophy at the Université du Québec à Montréal\nGolnoosh Farnadi\, IVADO Post-Doc at Polytechnique Montreal\nMoritz Hardt\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California\, Berkeley\nEmre Kiciman\, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research AI\nMargaret Mitchell\, Senior Research Scientist\, Google Research and Machine Intelligence\nPetra Molnar\, Lawyer and Researcher\, International Human Rights Program\, University of Toronto Faculty of Law\nDeborah Raji\, Engineering Science Student at the University of Toronto\nTania Saba\, Professor of Industrial Relations at Université de Montréal\, Chair Holder – BMO Diversity and Governance\, Université de Montréal\nPedro Saleiro\, Post-doc\, Aequitas\, Center for Data Science and Public Policy\, University of Chicago\nCynthia Savard Saucier\, Director UX at Shopify and author of Author of Tragic Design (O’Reilly)\nNicolas Vermeys\, Professor of Law at the Université de Montréal and Assistant Director of the Cyberjustice Laboratory\nRC Woodmass\, Founder of Queerit and Product Designer at Crescendo\nResearch Interns at Mila and co-founders of Biasly AI: Andrea Eunbee Jang\, Yasmeen Hitti and Carolyne Pelletier\n\nPreliminary Program\nDay 1: Bias and inclusion in AI\n\nOpening remarks\nKeynote and Introduction\nUnderstanding bias and discrimination\nAI and social justice\nThe tech diversity problem\nIntroduction to Machine Learning and automated decision-making (optional)\n\nDay 2: Fairness in pre-processing\n\nIntroduction\nBloc 1: Fairness in pre-processing (fairness in data)\n\nTechnical session\nCase studies\nHands-on\n\n\n\nDay 3: Fairness in processing and post-processing\n\nBloc 2: Fairness in processing/Fairness in design\n\nTechnical session\nCase studies\n\n\nBloc 3: Fairness in post-processing/Fairness in decision\n\nTechnical session\nCase studies\n\n\n\nDay 4 – Governance\, recommendations and future directions\n\nCommunity-driven initiatives:\n\nMontreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence\nOther initiatives (TBD)\n\n\nBias in the private sector: Challenges and recommendations\nBias in the public sector: Challenges and recommendations\nClosing Panel discussion\n\nRegistration\nRegistration will open on March 11th at 12h00. \n\nGovernment and industry employees: $1500\nNon-profit organization (NPO): $400\nStudent: $200\n\nIVADO also offers fee waivers to eligible students\, which covers the registration fee for the Summer School.

The problems we chose to focus on are inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, a set of seventeen objectives that must be addressed in order to bring the world to a more equitable\, prosperous\, and sustainable path. In particular\, we will focus on the following areas: health\, education\, protecting democracy\, urban planning\, assistive technology for people with disabilities\, agriculture\, environmental sustainability\, economic inequality\, social welfare and justice. Each of these themes present opportunities for AI to meaningfully impact society by reducing human suffering and improving our democracies. \nThe AI for Social Good workshop divides the in-focus problem areas into thematic blocks of talks\, panels\, breakout planning sessions\, and posters. Particular emphasis is given to celebrating recent achievements in AI solutions\, and fostering collaborations for the next generation of solutions for social good. \nFirst\, the workshop will feature a series of invited talks and panels on agriculture and environmental protection\, education\, health and assistive technologies\, urban planning and social services. Secondly\, it will bring together ML researchers\, leaders of social impact\, people who see the needs in the field as well as philanthropists in a forum to present and discuss interesting research ideas and applications with the potential to address social issues. Indeed\, the rapidly expanding field of AI has the potential to transform many aspects of our lives. However\, two main problems arise when attempting to tackle social issues. There are few venues in which to share successes and failures in research at the intersection of AI and social problems\, an absence this workshop is designed to address by showcasing these marginalized but impactful works of research. Also\, it is difficult to find and evaluate problems to address for researchers with an interest on having a social impact. We hope this will inspire the creation of new tools by the community to tackle these important problems. Also\, this workshop promotes the sharing of information about datasets and potential projects which could interest machine learning researchers who want to apply their skills for social good. \nThe workshop also explores how artificial intelligence can be used to enrich democracy\, social welfare\, and justice. A focus on these topics will connect researchers to civil society organizations\, NGOs\, local governments\, and other organizations to enable applied AI research for beneficial outcomes. Various case-studies and discussions are introduced around these themes: summary of existing AI for good projects and key issues for the future\, AI’s impact on economic inequality\, AI approaches to social sciences\, and civil society organizations. The definition of what constitutes social good being essential to this workshop\, we will have panel discussions with leading social scholars to frame how contemporary AI/ML applications relate to public and philosophical notions of social good. We also aim to define new\, quantifiable\, and impactful research questions for the AI/ML community. Also\, we would like as an outcome of this event the creation of a platform to share data\, a pact with leading tech companies to support research staff sabbaticals with social progress organizations\, and the connection of researchers to on-the-ground problem owners and funders for social impact. \nWe invite contributions relating to any of the workshop themes or more broadly any of the UN SDGs. The models or approaches presented do not necessarily need to be of outstanding theoretical novelty\, but should demonstrate potential for a strong social impact. We invite two types of submissions. First\, we invite research work as short papers (4 page limit) for oral and/or poster presentation. Second\, we invite two page abstracts presenting a specific solution that would\, if accepted\, be discussed during round-table events. The short papers should focus on past and current work\, showcasing actual results and ideally demonstrated beneficial effect on society\, whereas the two page abstracts could highlight ideas that have not yet been applied in practice. These are designed to foster sharing different points of view ranging from the scientific assessment of feasibility\, to discussion of practical constraints that may be encountered when they are deployed\, also attracting interest from philanthropists invited to the event. The workshop provides a platform for developing these two page abstracts into real projects with a platform to connect with stakeholders\, scientists\, and funders.

See the workshop website for details! \nMachine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science research. Search engines\, text mining\, social media analytics\, face recognition\, DNA sequence analysis\, speech and handwriting recognition\, healthcare analytics are just some of the applications in which machine learning is routinely used. \nIn spite of the wide reach of machine learning and the variety of theory and applications\, it covers\, the percentage of female researchers is lower than in many other areas of computer science. Most women working in machine learning rarely get the chance to interact with other female researchers\, making it easy to feel isolated and hard to find role models. \nThe annual Women in Machine Learning Workshop is the flagship event of Women in Machine Learning. This technical workshop gives female faculty\, research scientists\, and graduate students in the machine learning community an opportunity to meet\, network and exchange ideas\, participate in career-focused panel discussions with senior women in industry and academia and learn from each other. Underrepresented minorities and undergraduates interested in machine learning research are encouraged to attend. We welcome all genders; however\, any formal presentations\, i.e. talks and posters\, are given by women. We strive to create an atmosphere in which participants feel comfortable to engage in technical and career-related conversations. \nNow in its 13th year\, the 2018 workshop is co-located with NIPS in Montreal\, Canada. A History of WiML posterwas created to celebrate the 10th workshop\, also held in 2015 in Montreal\, Canada. \nBesides this annual workshop\, Women in Machine Learning also organizes events such as lunch at ICML and AAAI conferences\, maintains a public directory of women active in ML\, profiles the research of women in ML\, and maintains a list of resources for women working in ML. \n  URL:https://vieux.ivado.ca/en/events/wiml-2018/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://vieux.ivado.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/WiML_blue_on_transparent_bg.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181202T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181208T170000 DTSTAMP:20260412T000935 CREATED:20180925T182530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180925T182530Z UID:10087-1543737600-1544288400@vieux.ivado.ca SUMMARY:NIPS DESCRIPTION:The Thirty-second Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) is a multi-track machine learning and computational neuroscience conference that includes invited talks\, demonstrations\, symposia and oral and poster presentations of refereed papers.

Dans un contexte convivial\, les participants discutent d’enjeux de science et société\, tels les changements climatiques\, l’agriculture verte\, le développement urbain ou le système de santé. \nL’approche : esprit critique et rencontre\nAu-delà des discussions autour de ces enjeux de science et société\, c’est à la manière d’y réfléchir que les jeunes sont initiés. Ainsi\, à travers les échanges\, ils consolident leur pensée critique et leur raisonnement scientifique. \nL’autre grande force du Forum est la rencontre. Les chercheurs sont des créatifs passionnés et le seul fait de les côtoyer devient une source d’inspiration et de motivation. Le choix d’un parcours professionnel n’est-il pas souvent influencé par des rencontres? Ainsi\, du vendredi soir au dimanche midi\, les occasions de discuter sont multiples : en atelier\, autour d’un repas\, dans les corridors ou encore à travers un défi« neurone ». Même si ce ne sont pas là les visées du Forum\, les effets de motivation sur la poursuite des études ou sur les choix de carrière en recherche se vérifient chaque année dans les résultats du sondage suivant l’événement. \n« Le Forum m’a permis de briser l’image stéréotypée du chercheur asocial et sur-scolarisé. Effectivement\, les contacts avec les experts m’ont fait constater que les chercheurs ne correspondaient pas du tout à cette image et que leur passion était définitivement contagieuse. » \n« Je suis à un point où je dois choisir un domaine d’études pour un futur emploi\, et l’infinité de portes qui s’ouvrent est déstabilisante. Pouvoir explorer derrière quelques-unes de ces portes m’a rappelé des passions que j’avais mises de côté\, et cela aura certainement une incidence sur mon choix de carrière. » \nLe lieu\nLe Forum 2018 se tiendra au Collège Montmorency\, les 2\, 3 et 4 novembre 2018. \nLes partenaires\nPlusieurs organisations collaborent étroitement avec l’ACFAS au succès de l’événement : le ministère de l’Économie\, de la Science et de l’Innovation (partenaire principal)\, le ministère des Relations internationales du Québec et de la Francophonie\, le Consulat général de France à Québec\, le Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines\, la Commission de l’éthique en science et en technologie du Québec\, la Fédération des cégeps\, l’Association des collèges privés du Québec\, le quotidien Le Devoir et le magazine Québec Science. \nDécouvrez les sites Internet des partenaires du Forum ici \nComité d’organisation\, par ordre alphabétique\n\nDominic Boudreau\, Centre de démonstration en sciences physiques\, Québec\nMarc-Olivier D’Astous\, Collège Montmorency\nNicolas Faucher\, Cégep Limoilou\nGilles Lalonde\, Collège Montmorency\nJohanne Lebel\, Acfas\nSophie Morisset\, Collège Lionel-Groulx\nMathilde Girard\, Consulat général de France à Québec\nYoan St-Onge\, Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada\n\nL’histoire du forum\n« Ce qui était autrefois séparé\, science – éthique – politique\, aujourd’hui se doit d’avoir des liens\, car une telle séparation est devenue dommageable et dangereuse ». C’est ainsi qu’Edgar Morin\, sociologue et philosophe français inaugure le 1er Forum en l’an 2000. \nLe Forum québécois émerge des Rencontres CNRS Jeunes Sciences & Citoyens\, présidées par le sociologue et auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de nature transdisciplinaires. Fort du succès des rencontres Jeunes Sciences & Citoyens\, le Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) souhaitait exporter la formule. Le Consulat général de France à Québec engage alors des démarches auprès de la Société pour la promotion de la science et de la technologie (SPST) et du ministère de la Recherche\, de la Science et de la Technologie (MRST) qui ont organisé\, à l’automne 2000\, un premier événement coprésidé par Edgar Morin et le sociologue québécois Guy Rocher. \nDès le premier Forum\, les chercheurs sont dispersés parmi les jeunes et le ton convivial est donné. « J’ai trouvé que les jeunes Québécois étaient moins timides\, plus à l’aise en général\, que les jeunes Français. Et au Québec\, on ressent un double sentiment : on est à la fois étranger et chez soi. On s’y sent très bien et ça fait plaisir »\, dira Edgar Morin. Les jeunes Québécois seront tout aussi étonnés par la jeunesse et l’accessibilité du grand sociologue. Le samedi soir\, au son d’une musique tzigane\, il dansera avec eux jusqu’à 2 heures du matin! Guy Rocher ajoutera\, pour sa part : « C’est parce que je crois à la démocratie et aux exigences d’une véritable culture scientifique que j’ai accepté la coprésidence avec un grand enthousiasme. » \nInformations :\nJohanne.lebel@acfas.ca\n514-849-0045\, poste 231 URL:https://vieux.ivado.ca/en/events/forum-international-science-et-societe/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vieux.ivado.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/forum_sans-annee_rvb_0_0.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181102T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181103T170000 DTSTAMP:20260412T000935 CREATED:20180928T132402Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200429T132902Z UID:10116-1541145600-1541264400@vieux.ivado.ca SUMMARY:Thales Student Innovation Championship 2018 DESCRIPTION:Thales is organizing its second annual Student Innovation Championship at CortAIx\, its AI center based in Montréal\, on November 2 and 3.

De nombreux autres domaines sont touchés par cette nouvelle technologie\, ou vont l’être.  Face à l’intérêt suscité par cette technologie\, et face aux besoins de formation\, IVADO et le MILA (le plus gros laboratoire académique au monde spécialisé en apprentissage profond et pionnier du domaine) offrent une semaine de formation du 22 au 26 octobre 2018. \nÀ la fin de cette semaine\, les participants seront aptes à intervenir sur des projets dans le domaine et auront le bagage nécessaire pour continuer par eux-mêmes leur apprentissage\, une fois revenu dans leur milieu de travail\, ou d’étude. \nContenu de la semaine\nL’École en apprentissage profond donnera à ses participants les bases théoriques et pratiques nécessaires à la compréhension des techniques d’apprentissage profond\, et ils en ressortiront outillés pour intervenir sur des projets faisant appel à ces techniques. Le contenu est plus orienté vers la pratique et l’application que la théorie et la recherche. Le contenu théorique nécessaire sera présenté\, mais il sera complété par une comparaison des bibliothèques classiques pour l’apprentissage profond\, par des présentations de scripts et de stratégies d’entraînement\, ainsi que par un retour d’expérience sur les problèmes spécifiques liés à la mise en oeuvre de projets d’intelligence artificielle en milieu industriel (infrastructure\, accès aux données\, résultats\, etc.). \nLe contenu de cette école s’adresse principalement aux professionnels de l’informatique (ingénieurs\, informaticiens qui sont au moins détenteurs d’un baccalauréat en sciences ou en génie)\, mais les professeurs et les étudiants aux cycles supérieurs en sciences ou en ingénierie (essentiellement ceux qui ne sont pas encore familiers avec l’apprentissage profond) peuvent aussi y trouver leur intérêt. \nUne connaissance minimale en programmation (idéalement Python) est souhaitable afin de bien pouvoir comprendre les tutoriels. Nous suggérons aussi le cours en ligne Introduction à l’apprentissage profond disponible sur EDUlib pour les non-initiés en apprentissage automatique et profond. \nProgramme préliminaire\nVoici le programme préliminaire.
