SUMMARY:Lecture: Usable Privacy and Security in the Age of AI and the Internet of Things: An Engineering Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Norman Sadeh is a Professor in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). He co-founded and co-directs CMU’s Privacy Engineering Program\, and also co-founded and for ten years co-directed CMU’s PhD Program in Societal Computing. Dr. Sadeh’s privacy research has been credited with influencing the development of privacy-enhancing solutions at companies such as Apple\, Google and Facebook\, and results of his research have informed activities at regulatory agencies\, including the Federal Trade Commission and the California Office of the Attorney General. \nLecture Title:Usable Privacy and Security in the Age of AI and the Internet of Things: An Engineering Perspective \nAbstract: Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are contributing to the collection and use of our data across ever more diverse scenarios. In the process they open the door to new privacy and security threats. Yet these technologies can also contribute to the development of solutions that help address these threats. Many of these threats have to do with the limitations we\, humans\, have when it comes to recognizing threats and protecting ourselves against them. This presentation will provide an overview of work in usable security and privacy over the past 15 years drawing on research conducted with my collaborators at Carnegie Mellon University. This will include our work on the development of privacy and security assistants\, our work on privacy and security nudging\, our work on semi-automated compliance analysis\, and our work on a privacy infrastructure for the internet of things and its deployment in smart cities. The presentation will briefly discuss my experience commercializing some of these technologies through a company I founded in 2008 and sold for $225M to Proofpoint in 2018. Finally\, I will also discuss how our research has been integrated into some of our education programs at CMU\, including our privacy engineering program\, and how it has influenced developments in both industry and government over the years. \n  \nConfirm your attendance

SUMMARY:Lecture: The evolving role of computation in biomedical discovery
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar welcomes Russell Schwartz\, CMU Professor and Head\,  Computational Biology Department\, to speak at the A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture Series.  The A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture Series enables students to engage with prominent faculty and well-known leaders in the field of computer science. The lecture series is named after Professor A. Nico Habermann\, head of the computer science department between 1980 and 1988 and Founding Dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. \nConfirm your attendance \nLecture title: The evolving role of computation in biomedical discovery \nAbstract: This talk will provide a perspective on how the role of computer science and computational thinking in biomedical research has changed in recent years and where it may be going in the future from the perspective of a scientist and educator working at the intersection of these two disciplines.  To provide context\, I will first summarize some of my experience as a computational biology researcher\, as well as in education and community building at the interface of biology and computer science.  I will use these experiences to discuss how the need for computation\, and perceptions of that need\, have changed since the rise of computational biology as a discipline.  I will describe some current directions in biomedical research and education and what they tell us about the role of and need for computation in biomedical research today and in the near future.  I will conclude with some speculation about how that role is likely to continue to evolve and what those working in biomedicine can do to prepare themselves and help advance future biomedical knowledge. \n

SUMMARY:Teaching and Thinking with AI
DESCRIPTION:The excitement (and panic) surrounding A.I. is shattering expectations around assignments\, assessment\, class preparation\, and attendance while challenging us to build more future-proof and inclusive classrooms. AI is rapidly changing how humans work and think. AI is also changing how we think about the average. If AI can produce consistent “C” work then we need to update our policies and grading. AI is even changing creativity. Together\, we will examine the skills and curriculum that will matter most in this new age\, why articulation of ‘quality’ is essential and what policies and practices improve motivation and decrease cheating. Attendees will learn practical techniques to transform assignments and assessments. \nThis workshop will be led by José Antonio Bowen\, Principal and Lead Innovator. José Antonio Bowen has over 40 years of experience in innovation at top universities\, including Stanford and Georgetown. He was President of Goucher College and now leads Bowen Innovation Group\, consulting for higher education and Fortune 500 companies. \n*This keynote is for Education City faculty only  \n  \nRSVP to attend

SUMMARY:Lecture: Language Models in Natural Language Processing
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar welcomes CMU-Q teaching professor\, computer science\, Kemal Oflazer\, to speak at the A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture Series.  The A. Nico Habermann Distinguished Lecture Series enables students to engage with prominent faculty and well-known leaders in the field of computer science. The lecture series is named after Professor A. Nico Habermann\, head of the computer science department between 1980 and 1988 and Founding Dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. \n  \nClick here to attend. \n  \nLecture Title: Language Models in Natural Language Processing \nAbstract: Language models have been a staple component of systems for natural language processing for about 35 years and have been applied in applications such as spelling correction\, speech recognition\, and statistical machine translation early on\, to name a few. Recently however\, there has been a remarkable surge in the capabilities and applications of language models. These modern “large language models”\, enabled by advances in deep learning and in hardware technology and by availability of huge amounts of data\, have led to rapid implementation many applications ranging from text generation to sentiment analysis\, question answering\, enhanced machine transation\, and many others\, some including multiple modalities. Clearly many more applications are in our future. \nThis lecture will be an accessible presentation for the community\, of the basic ideas behind language models and their evolution from the earlier models into the large models currently being used today. It will discuss how changes in language representation about a decade ago led to the use of “semantics” instead of superficial representations and and how large language models are now used as components of many NLP applications.
