    Abstract: Presented by Anusua Trivedi, Sr Data Scientist Lead, AI for Good at Microsoft AI serves the purpose of enabling human beings in making better decisions. In this session, we talk about how the actions of AI are the result of the human inputs going into its programming. We talk about how an AI’s bias is not its own, but the human bias with which it has been programmed. We emphasize the choice of the right metric and the type of data used for testing and training to avoid such bias. We discuss the need to understand the dependence between the data used and the models employed and optimize only areas that matter. We discuss how to focus on feature engineering and be thoughtful about the ethics of ML applications. Other issues such as the need for regulations and other considerations within it that require deliberation are also touched upon.

    Abstract: Presented by Douglas Hamilton – Chief Data Scientist, NASDAQ’s Machine Intelligence Lab Over the last decade, hundreds of billions of dollars of capital have retreated from active to passive management, driven in part by investors seeking lower management fees. With this we have seen rapid growth in the index and exchange traded fund space, leading to the development of several distinct classes. At least one of these classes, Smart Beta, is ripe for AI augmentation. We outline the unique challenges of index management and discuss the application of Information Theory, Machine Learning, and Optimization in solving those challenges.

    Abstract: Presented by Surya Gupta – Postdoctoral Researcher at VIB-UGent Mass-spectrometry based proteomics experiments produces large amounts of data. While typically acquired to answer specific biological questions, these data can also be reused in orthogonal ways to reveal biological knowledge. We have developed a novel method for such orthogonal data reuse of public proteomics data to detect biologically associated protein pairs. Mass-spectrometry proteomics experiments were obtained and reprocessed from the PRIDE database. For the identified proteins, we calculated the co-occurrence score, using Jaccard similarity. Protein pairs with score of atleast 0.4 were mapped to five knowledgebases; Reactome, Ensembl, IntAct, BioGRID, and CORUM, to assign potential biological relevance. Of the 2325 protein pairs that pass the Jaccard similarity threshold, we 81% of protein pairs with biological annotation (68% with five knowledgebases and 13% with GO terms). While comparison with randomly selected protein pairs, less than 2% protein pairs were found to be annotated. Furthermore, to extend the usability and accessibility of the detected protein pairs for research community, an online database called Tabloid Proteome was established. Our approach shows that by re-using publically available data in a fully orthogonal way, effectively treating these data as a proteome-wide association study, we can extract various biologically meaningful patterns, which moreover, were quite complementary to associations detected by established protein-protein interaction techniques. Additionally, Tabloid Proteome features a simple yet powerful web interface that allows fast and easy access to all these protein associations, with their possible biological annotation.

    Abstract: Presented by Sylvia Tran, Data Scientist at Gracenote User preferences and content similarity are both key to recommendation systems. While content similarity has been widely explored and utilized by many companies in the media & entertainment industries, it still remains relevant as the amount of data and metadata available continues to grow and change. This talk discusses some of the challenges of content similarity and explores a few different attribute groups (aside from genre and cast) by which content similarity can be measured. Traditional attributes, like genre and cast alone, may not be as additive as they once were. More specifically, movies like Ted (starring Mark Wahlberg) and Shaun of the Dead do not neatly fit into a single genre. This talk also demonstrates how certain tried and true similarity metrics still yield meaningful and reasonably interpretable results for media & entertainment.

    Abstract: Presented by Sridharan Kamalakannan, Head of Data Science at Humana Predictive models are often used to identify individuals that will likely have escalating health severity in the future and accordingly deliver appropriate interventions. However, for the clinicians and care managers, these predictive models often act as a black-box at an individual level. The reason for this being, typically predictive models use combinations of complicated algorithms that makes it hard to explain the reason behind a predictive model score at an individual level. This talk will focus on model and feature agnostic methodologies and techniques that help uncover the drivers behind a prediction at a personal level in a healthcare setting.

    Abstract: Presented by Liang Wu, Machine Learning Data Scientist at Airbnb Choosing the correct optimization metric is key to success of a search engine. Unlike in traditional web searches, where clicks are clearly the main objective to optimize, many emerging vertical search engines like E-Commerce search may require a different optimization metric, such as conversions, revenue, and quality. Selection of a good metric may depend on the query type (transactional vs. navigational vs. informational) and also on the goal of a business (profitability vs. growth). For example, a typical product search engine may focus on maximizing the number of transactions and total revenue, while navigational search may aim at minimizing the total number of clicks. In this talk, we will investigate factors needed to be considered when we are in search for a good metric, and we will also walk through an example of designing an optimization metric for a particular business, including how it is selected, mathematically defined, and optimized with a machine learning framework.

    Abstract: Presented by Hemalatha B Raju – Lead Data Scientist at Biorasi Running a clinical trial is always very complex. But with the implementation of machine learning we can significantly improve the efficiency of clinical trial development. Machine learning logic and algorithms can help us advance the patient selection process for clinical trials, improve the data quality, reduce the time and cost in the execution of clinical trials. for accurate predictions of outcomes using pattern recognition. Machine learning algorithms could be potentially applied to develop comprehensive risk-based monitoring tools, fraud detection pipeline, on-study analytics models and solutions for various clinical trials that alerts the clinical monitors and the pharmaceutical companies about the quality of clinical sites . Clinical data can also be reviewed at aggregate level regularly throughout assigned studies using analytical reporting tools to support the identification of risks and data trends. The rules-based logic could be used throughout the clinical trial studies to analyze the primary and secondary endpoints, required for the safety and efficacy analysis of the investigational drug and thus improve the efficiency of clinical trial studies.

    Abstract: Welcome to Corporate Life. The NEW Employee Manual is not your Dad's or Mom's employee manual. It's the new playbook for corporate survival, fitting today's realities and the challenges facing employees who join or work in large, seemingly successful companies. Those companies already issued very specific and detailed employee manuals covering everything under the sun except how to compete well in our brave new world. The NEW Employee Manual will help you navigate the Corporate (with a capital C) labyrinth. Where Corporate's manual shapes you into a dutiful cog for the good of the machine, ours helps you enhance your career for the good of, well, you . . . and your company. The NEW Employee Manual should make you feel skeptical: skeptical of empty slogans, obsolete rituals, obsessive pursuits, and bigwigs' playbooks that no longer work. That alone should be worth this book's price. Skepticism, you see, is a good thing, because it is only the skeptic, only the free-thinker, only the maverick, who asks new questions and finds useful answers. So, are you a maverick or a cog?

    Abstract: The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is a DIY handbook that espouses the sage investment wisdom of John C. Bogle. This witty and wonderful book offers contrarian advice that provides the first step on the road to investment success, illustrating how relying on typical "common sense" promoted by Wall Street is destined to leave you poorer. This updated edition includes new information on backdoor Roth IRAs and ETFs as mainstream buy and hold investments, estate taxes and gifting, plus changes to the laws regarding Traditional and Roth IRAs, and 401k and 403b retirement plans. With warnings and principles both precisely accurate and grandly counterintuitive, the Boglehead authors show how beating the market is a zero-sum game. Investing can be simple, but it's certainly not simplistic. Over the course of twenty years, the followers of John C. Bogle have evolved from a loose association of investors to a major force with the largest and most active non-commercial financial forum on the Internet. The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing brings that communication to you with comprehensive guidance to the investment prowess on display at Bogleheads.org. You'll learn how to craft your own investment strategy using the Bogle-proven methods that have worked for thousands of investors.

    Abstract: Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this research and development can take place in a non-proprietary manner. Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices. The book will be a must-listen for academics, researchers, and graduate students of innovation and technology management.

    Abstract: Presented by Charles Alcorn – Head of Data Science at Roche Molecular Systems Oncology diagnostics and treatment is a rapidly changing field of medicine with new advancements announced almost daily. The number of diagnostic tests to select treatments based on a patient’s unique genetic mutations and tumor pathology characteristics has grown, as have the number of therapies available. These therapies can be matched to a patient’s likelihood to respond to treatment based on the results from diagnostic tests. Estimates indicate that Oncologists would have to read the literature continuously around the clock 365 days a year to maintain their knowledge of new diagnostic tests and treatments. Further, diagnostic testing and treatment as well as associated treatment guidelines vary by patient population and country. This talk will describe medical content management concepts for the field of Oncology including data architecture, data curation, adopting to differing-and-ever-changing treatment guidelines, capture of up-to-date regulatory information, and country-specific examples. The roadmap that we are developing to support Clinical Decision Support Software in a Global Marketplace for our products and services will be described.

    Abstract: Presented by Rhonda Textor, Head of Data Science at True Fit Recent advances in technology such as computer vision, deep learning, and recommender systems are being used to enable new shopping experiences. Examples include visual search, recommending similar items, and recommending items that other shoppers also viewed. However, technology alone without an understanding of shoppers, fashion, and retail falls short of solving shopping recommendation problems. We at True Fit believe that details matter, especially for modeling individual fashion preferences. Because of that, we have built the largest fashion and retail dataset called the Fashion Genome. In this talk, I will share some insights we have gained from the Fashion Genome that have influenced our approach to building fashion recommendation systems. I will also show how we leverage the fashion details of products, i.e., our Fashion Attributes, to combine fashion and technology to make great recommendations. Finally, I will share how we leverage our large dataset and cutting edge technology to enable personalized shopping experiences.

    Abstract: Presented by Namita Lokare Feature engineering plays a significant role in the success of a machine learning model. Most of the effort in training a model goes into data preparation and choosing the right representation. In this talk, I will focus on a robust feature engineering method, Randomized Union of Locally Linear Subspaces (RULLS). We generate sparse, non-negative, and rotation invariant features in an unsupervised fashion. RULLS aggregates features from a random union of subspaces by describing each point using globally chosen landmarks. These landmarks serve as anchor points for choosing subspaces. Our method provides a way to select features that are relevant in the neighborhood around these chosen landmarks. Distances from each data point to k closest landmarks are encoded in the feature matrix. The final feature representation is a union of features from all chosen subspaces. The effectiveness of our algorithm is shown on various real-world datasets for tasks such as clustering and classification of raw data and in the presence of noise. We compare our method with existing feature generation methods. Results show a high performance of our method on both classification and clustering tasks.

    Abstract: You're trying to help-but is it working? Helping others is a good thing. Often, as a leader, manager, doctor, teacher, or coach, it's central to your job. But even the most well-intentioned efforts to help others can be undermined by a simple truth: We almost always focus on trying to "fix" people, correcting problems or filling the gaps between where they are and where we think they should be. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well, if at all, to inspire sustained learning or positive change. There's a better way. In this powerful, practical book, emotional intelligence expert Richard Boyatzis and Weatherhead School of Management colleagues Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten present a clear and hopeful message. The way to help someone learn and change, they say, cannot be focused primarily on fixing problems, but instead must connect to that person's positive vision of themselves or an inspiring dream or goal they've long held. This is what great coaches do-they know that people draw energy from their visions and dreams, and that same energy sustains their efforts to change, even through difficult times. In contrast, problem-centered approaches trigger physiological responses that make a person defensive and less open to new ideas.

    Abstract: Presented by Andy Terrel at Numfocus NumFOCUS currently represents 26 sponsored and 24 affiliated open scientific coding projects. Glancing at them from a distance, one might have to squint a bit to see a pattern emerge. In truth, the community doesn’t mind that at all, out of the variety comes innovation. Beyond the logos and stickers, what is this community actually doing? I present the various projects and argue that we have inadvertently created one of the most successful data science platforms in existence. From this vantage point, I pose some tough questions the community needs to answer: How can we present that platform more fully? How should we organize ourselves to make our work more valuable? How do we avoid a collapse of our communities?

    Abstract: Presented by Manojit Nand – Senior Data Scientist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Understanding how algorithms can reinforce societal biases has become an important topic in data science. Recent work for auditing models for fairness often requires access to potentially sensitive demographic information, placing algorithmic fairness in conflict with individual privacy. For example, gender recognition technology struggles to recognize the gender of transgender individuals. To develop more accurate models, we require information that could “out” these individuals, putting their social, psychological, and physical safety at risk. We will discuss social science perspectives on privacy and how these paradigms can be incorporated into statistical measures of anonymity. I will emphasize the importance of ensuring safety and privacy of all individuals represented in our data, even at the cost of model fairness.

    Abstract: Presented by Sangeeta Krishnan – Former Director, Enterprise Data Management & Strategy at Asembia Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the current buzz word across all industries. Marvin Minsky’s definition of AI describes it as the science of making machines do things that would normally require human intelligence. However, the opinions are split across two camps. On one side we hear about new AI gadgets getting introduced in the market that would empower and improve our lives. At the same time, there are stories of AI companies going bankrupt like the recent closure of AI powered clock – Bonjour. Any digital technology has its own risks such as Cyber Security, Data Privacy Protection, apart from protecting the interests and careers of the human workforce. When you attempt to transform data into answers, many questions erupt. AI is a combination of techniques that includes Data Analytics and Predictive Analytics. Many organizations start their Analytics and AI journey without implementing the discovery phase of defining clear achievable business values. This results in most of the R&D budget to evaporate in experimental pitfalls with no real gain, resulting in AI being non-productive. It is imperative for any organization to discuss and focus on certain fundamental areas and challenges before embarking on the AI journey. This presentation would give a detailed overview of the areas that need to be addressed for the AI journey to be successful beyond PoC (Proof of Concept). It would demystify AI from an implementation stand point and would cover multiple aspects to demonstrate the current capabilities of AI technologies. It would also put out a road map for the industries to have a smooth journey to the AI world. The presentation would discuss the entire spread of activities such as budgeting, risk mitigation, training and many more.

    Abstract: Presented by Jennifer Esteche, Machine Learning Research Engineer at Tryolabs Determining prices for retail products manually is an extremely time-consuming process and leads to neither cost-effective nor consistent pricing. In this talk, we will introduce you to the tremendous potential of machine learning for automated pricing. We will share our learnings from building a machine learning system able to determine prices based on product metadata and images, implemented by a large online consignment marketplace. As a result, the company prices more than half of the products in their catalog automatically. You will learn what kind of data is valuable for an automated pricing system, what machine learning models can be used, some major challenges in building an intelligent pricing system and how to overcome them. Further, we will explore opportunities on how retailers can use machine learning for optimizing their prices for revenue.

    Abstract: Presented by John Peach, Sr Data Scientist at Amazon Alexa Science is facing a crisis around reproducibility and data science is not immune. Literate Statistical Programming is a workflow that binds the code used in an analysis to the interpretation of the results. While this creates reproducibility it also addresses issues around, auditing, re-usability and allows for rapid iteration and experimentation. This talk will describe a workflow that I have successfully used on small-scale data-sets in start-ups and on Amazon-scale problems in my work on Alexa. The talk will cover the tooling, workflow, and the philosophy you need to master Literate Statistical Programming.

    Abstract: Presented by Diane Yu, CTO and Cofounder at FreeWheel, Comcast As the leading provider of financial and company data, Bloomberg has access to vast amounts of data on a daily basis. There are two common challenges when working directly with raw data. One is the need to discover and extract data represented in the natural document format that is not machine-readable. Another requirement is validating and ensuring that the data is of high-quality since it is required for building models for predictions, classifications, and various analytics tasks. This talk will cover ways in which data science and machine learning can be used to address these two challenges: (1) ingesting your data by extracting what is contained in natural document format and (2) cleaning your ingested data.

    Abstract: Presented by Brittany Rockwell Researchers and financial practitioners alike are attempting to find meaningful applications for the newest advents in the field of natural language processing (NLP). Although language modelling for stock trading is not novel, the landscape has changed significantly in recent years. With the improvements of computational power, data storage and algorithmic efficiency, we have more data and modelling capacity at our disposal than ever before. A natural consequence of these changes is the exponential growth of available data. There is a growing need for automating the data exploration and identification process for low-latency downstream applications requiring timely forecasting or decision making. This talk will discuss some of the new advances in NLP and their relevance to text-driven trading.

    Abstract: Every time we google something, facebook someone, or just carry a phone, we create data. Yet, we do not benefit from this wealth of information as much as we should. Andreas Weigend-an advisor to Alibaba, BMW, Hyatt, MasterCard and Lufthansa, among others-wants to change that. In Data for the People, he proposes six basic data rights that we all need to make better decisions. Big data is here to stay. The time has come to shift the balance of power back to the individual and find out how data is being used and what needs to change to make data work for you. Vital reading for anyone who owns a mobile phone, internet connection, or even a debit card, Data for the People puts the power of data back into our hands.
