SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Causal Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Sally Cripps\nDate: 12pm-1pm\, Wednesday 29th Nov 2023\nVenue: F23 Michael Spence Building Auditorium (2) 105 \nUnderstanding and identifying which factors impact outcomes is at the core of scientific discovery. Graphical models and the Bayesian paradigm are useful frameworks to describe and analyse these cause-and-effect relationships however\, they are not without challenges and limitations.  This talk demonstrates the potential and pitfalls of such methods with reference to applications in the physical and social sciences. \nAbout the speaker \nSally Cripps is an internationally recognized scholar and leader in Bayesian Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition to her role as Director of Technology at the Human Technology Institute\, she is a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the UTS. Sally was also cofounder and co-director of the University of Sydney’s Centre for Translation Data Science (CTDS)\, founder and Director of the Australian Research Council’s Industrial Transformation Training Centre (ARC ITTC) Data Analytics for Resources and Environments (DARE). Most recently Sally was Research Director of Analytics and Decision Science and Science Director of the Next Gen AI Training Programme in CSIRO’s Data61. Sally’s research focuses on the development of new foundational methods in AI to address global challenges. In recognition of the quality of her research\, Sally was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship and a visiting scholar fellowship to the Alan Turing Institute in the UK.

SUMMARY:AI Regulation in Australia: Where are we at\, and where next?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Kimberlee Weatherall  \nThe discussion over “regulation of AI” is at an interesting juncture\, with Australia in the midst of a Commonwealth-government led process aiming to identify what\, if any changes need to be made to our legal and regulatory system to ensure human and societal interests are protected in the race to extend the use of artificial intelligence and related technologies. Among the many interesting questions and challenges being raised in this discussion\, two of the most immediate are: what changes do emerging technologies and uses of AI and automation bring that require us to perhaps rethink not the way we regulate these technologies. And the second is: if we are convinced that problems are emerging\, how\, within the practical constraints of Australia’s parliamentary democracy and regulatory system\, do we address them? If we can’t get to perfect\, what would be good enough?

SUMMARY:Data-Centric Engineering: A Robotics-Centric Perspective
DESCRIPTION:12pm-1pm\, Wednesday 6th Sept 2023 \n\n\n\nData-Centric Engineering: A Robotics-Centric Perspective\n\n\n\nPresented by Professor Ian Manchester\n\n\n\nVenue: J12 Board Room 124\, Computer Science Building \n\n\n\nAbstract: This talk will provide both an overview of robotics research at Sydney\, as well as some personal perspectives on data-centric engineering. It will discuss some past and on-going research with a data-centric flavour at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR) and present the vision of the new Australian Robotic Inspection and Asset Management Hub (ARIAM)\, which is centred on the concept of a digital twin with robotic systems as mediators between the cyber world and the physical world. Beyond the robotics-centric aspects\, the talk will also offer some perspectives on the roles of data\, feedback\, and models in robust engineered systems more broadly.
