These applications require high levels of software assurance and resilie nce\, but virtually all AI research has focused on raw performance witho ut paying attention to questions of robustness and resilience. \;\n&# 13\;\nIn this talk\, I will survey AI research that aims to create robus t systems. I will consider both robustness to “known unknowns” and robus tness to “unknown unknowns” — that is\, to unmodeled aspects of the envi ronment. \;\n \;\nOne technology that is relevant to creating robu st AI systems is anomaly detection. In the second part of the talk\, I w ill survey the work at Oregon State on anomaly detection. I’ll discuss o ur recent research on applying anomaly detection to problems of fraud de tection and equipment diagnosis and discuss methods for explaining anoma ly alarms to an analyst and incorporating analyst feedback into the anom aly detection process. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nDr. Tom Dietterich (AB Oberlin College 1977\; MS University of Illinois 1979\; PhD Stanford Un iversity 1984) is Professor Emeritus and Director of Intelligent Systems Research in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science a t Oregon State University\, where he joined the faculty in 1985.

I t was exciting to have so many of you come out during February’s snow-ma geddon. This month\, we prepared a balanced agenda to have new contents\ , and to incrementally build on what you’ve learned. On the other hand\, we built the labs in a way that will allow those who couldn’t beat the storm to catch up quickly. \;\n \;\nAl Kari will begin with an int roduction and a technology update\, then he moves on to cover a key topi c in TensorFlow: Saving your models so you can use them to classify new data. The discussion will cover best practices and techniques to use you r trained models for inference and transfer learning. \;\n \;\nAl is Manceps’ Co-founder and CEO (www.manceps.com) where he helps enterpri se clients with their Digital Transformation and intelligent computing r oadmaps. \;\n \;\nNext\, Andrew Ferlitsch will take you on a code- along adventure via Colaboratory- An Introduction to Constructing Neural Networks and Hyper-parameter Tuning. \;\n \;\nYou’ve kicked the t ires with 5 digits hand signs last month. Now\, we progressively build l ayers of a neural network for the larger dataset of the American Sign La nguage hand gestures including all the letters of the alphabet. We will cover a fully connected neural network\, proceed to a deep neural networ k\, and then add dropout layers to tackle overfitting. Then we wrap up w ith the fundamentals of hyper-parameter tuning. \;\nThe lab requires a laptop with a modern browser and will be at a modest pace to provide s ufficient opportunity to ask questions and share insights. \;\n \; \nAs Chief Data Scientist at Manceps\, Andrew works on solving a diverse set of problems using Deep Learning and advanced analytics. \;\n \;\nFinally\, David Molina will demystify Neural Networks once and for a ll\, visually! \;\nWhat does bias do in a Neural Network? Why are wei ghts important? What happens when we select a high learning rate? How do we know how many inputs to select? How many hidden layers a model needs in order to predict accurately? How does a Neural Network work? These a re questions we ask when we begin studying Machine Learning as we encoun ter our first Neural Network. David will explore visually what’s behind the code\, and what happens inside a Neural Network when it runs. \;\ n \;\nDavid is an Industrial Engineer with five years corporate exper ience in building databases\, managing and analyzing large data sets\, a nd optimizing systems and processes. He is currently studying Machine Le arning and consulting for companies in his native country of Colombia.&# 13\;\n \;\nREMEMBER to bring your laptop \;\n \;\nPizza and dri nks sponsored by Intel. Links to the labs will be posted shortly. \;\ n \;\nHope you have a great time learning and networking.\n\nTags: te nsorflow\, Deep Learning\, machine learning\, Artificial Intelligence\, data science\, Digital Transformation\, python\n\nImported from: http:// calagator.org/events/1250473395 URL:http://bit.ly/tfnw-3 SUMMARY:TensorFlow Northwest User Group LOCATION:Vacasa: 926 NW 13th Ave #200\, Portland OR 97209 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180308T170832Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180324T150000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180324T090000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180308T170832Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180308T170832Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473389 DESCRIPTION:This one day unconference will foster local AI and ML innovat ion and sustainable application development with the open exchange of in formation\, ideas and learning. \;\n \;\nUnlike most conferences t here are no pre-planned presentations or schedules.

Agenda: 6:00 p.m.: Food\, beverage\ , and networking 6:40 p.m.: Welcome message by Karl Fezer 6:45 p.m: Spea ker 1: "\;Transfer Learning\, or How to Stand on the Shoulders of Gi ants"\; - James DiPadua7:30 p.m: Speaker 2: "\;Quantum Mechanics for Modeling Composite Semantic Spaces"\; - Connor Favreau8:15 p.m. - 8:30: Project Ideas. Pitch your Project Ideas to this meetup group 8:3 0: End Speaker 1 Details: Abstract: There's been a mountain of research into Deep Neural Networks' practical applications in image\, audio and t ext processing. But these deep networks are often built on large corpuse s of data (such as ImageNet or Wikipedia). But that may not apply direct ly to your domain. Gathering data specific to your problem space may not only be a lengthy process but an expensive one too. That makes the busi ness win a hard sell. Transfer Learning can dramatically eliminate many of those problems\, quickly. In 'How to stand on the shoulders of giants \,' we'll discuss the research background into Transfer Learning and how to implement the process in either Keras or PyTorch. The goal is for li steners to feel comfortable with the concept and prepared to begin resea rching an application in their workspaces. Bio: James is a wanderer\, ti nkerer\, and ponderer. Not one to be pinned down\, he's more comfortable in the abstract than in the known. He embraces ambiguity with a bearhug . That's a trick of course. He bear hugs the ambiguity into little mathe matical boxes and then says "\;Dance!"\; and\, oh\, how that amb iguity dances! James currently hangs his hat at Vacasa where he works as a Senior Data Scientist tackling a myriad of growth-objectives with eng ineering and machine learning. Speaker 2 Details: Five years ago\, Word2 Vec offered a leap forward for the average data scientist to perform eff icient algorithms in Natural Language Processing. From a body of text\, Word2Vec generates a semantic space\, in which the trained word vectors are often highly associated with their meaning. The next leap\, a semant ic space for phrases and sentences\, proves tougher both computationally and in faithfully representing a composite meaning over multiple words. Surprisingly\, quantifying particle interactions a la quantum mechanics shares close mathematical similarity to quantifying the meaning of word s\, phrases\, and sentences. In this talk\, I will provide an overview o f current techniques in modeling language past word vectors\, as well as point out the quantum mechanical aspects of these techniques. Emphasis will be placed on the “Compositional Distributional Semantics” model for the task of identifying word ambiguity."\;\n\nTags: meetup:event=ld wlhqyxpblb\, meetup:group=Portland-Machine-Learning-Meetup\, Artificial Intelligence\, natural language processing\, machine learning\, predicti ve analytics\, Deep Learning\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/even ts/1250474519 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Machine-Learning-Meetup/events/254338 888/ SUMMARY:Portland Machine Learning Meetup - PDX ML LOCATION:Uncorked Studios: 811 SE Stark St.\, Portland or 97214 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181226T041523Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190112T140000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190112T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181226T041523Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181226T041523Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474717 DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning and sharing skills in Python\, Machine Learning\, or Data Science?

Much of irrigation and recreation facilities depend on pr oper forecasting of streamflow. The water supply for irrigation largely comes from rivers and creeks\, whose streamflow originates from the spri ngtime melting of winter snow. A water supply forecast is a prediction o f streamflow volume that will flow past a point on a stream during a spe cified season\, typically in the spring and summer. One of the primary s ources for the data is through NRCS SNOTEL( Snow Telemetry) data (availa ble to public as part of tax dollars at work). In this demo\, we showcas e one such tool (Timeseries ARIMAX model) to forecast Streamflow volume for Deschutes River Basin\, OR and later compare with actual data to see how it performed. \;\n \;\nIf you would like to join the discussi on check us out on Zoom https://zoom.us/j/7891236789. \;\n \;\nDo you want to learn and share your passion in a supportive community?

There are many potential ben efits to be gained from AI\, but there are also a number of concerns abo ut how it will affect our lives moving into the future. What exactly is artificial intelligence anyway? \;\n \;\nIn 1986\, the mathematici an and philosopher Gian-Carlo Rota wrote\, “I wonder whether or when art ificial intelligence will ever crash the barrier of meaning.” Here\, the phrase “barrier of meaning” refers to a belief about humans versus mach ines. Humans are able to “actually understand” the situations they encou nter\, whereas AI systems (at least current ones) do not possess such un derstanding. The internal representations learned by (or programmed into ) AI systems do not capture the rich “meanings” that humans bring to bea r in perception\, language\, and reasoning. \;\n \;\nIn this talk\ , Melanie Mitchell\, a professor of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Portland State University\, will assess the state of the art of artificial intelligence in several domains and describe some of thei r current limitations and vulnerabilities\, which can be accounted for b y a lack of true understanding of the domains they work in. \;\n \ ;\nAudience participation in the discussion will be encouraged\, and tog ether\, we'll explore the following questions: \;\n - To be reliable in human domains\, what do AI systems actually need to “understand”? \;\n - Which domains require human-like understanding? \;\n - What do es such understanding entail? \;\n \;\n \;\nJoin us for a great presentation and discussion about artificial intelligence! We'll have s nacks\, and there will be an opportunity for networking afterwards.

Details that must be addresse d include: What data is being used to train the language models? Who own s the source data and the outputs that are generated? How accurate are t he models? How much human oversight of the model-building process is the re? And what are the potential harms when things go wrong? \;\n \; \nThese algorithms are already being used to make decisions about people ’s lives\, like whether a person gets a job or a bank loan and how much time a person convicted of a crime might spend in jail\, but students in particular are having their lives and actions analyzed more and more ev ery day. For instance\, proctoring software tries to determine whether s tudents are cheating on exams\, other software looks for plagiarism in s tudent essays and reports\, and there’s even software that analyzes emot ions and/or physical objects — Is the student happy or angry? Are they h olding a cellphone or a gun? \;\n \;\nThis month\, leaders from En code Justice Oregon — Maansi Singh\, Sahana Srinivasan\, and Julianne Hu ang — will join us to share their experiences and their work on drafting policy recommendations for use of AI in schools. They’ll speak about th eir concerns and how they think these technologies should be used in edu cational settings. They'll also discuss the upcoming Youth Citizens Asse mbly\, which will give students an opportunity to add their voices to th e digital privacy conversation and pitch their own ideas. \;\n \;\ nCome join us\, and bring your questions and thoughts about AI in school s! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via the Meetup link or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bios: \ ;\n \;\nEncode Justice is a global coalition of youth activists fight ing for justice and accountability in the digital age. Oregon’s chapter\ , Encode Justice Oregon\, works to educate their school\, local and stat ewide communities about algorithmic fairness while supporting legislatio n that encourages the safe and effective implementation of new technolog ies. From working with the Oregon DOJ's Consumer Privacy Task Force to e ngaging in connections with the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, Smart C ity PDX\, PDX Privacy\, and Rose Haven\, Encode Justice Oregon has estab lished a statewide presence centered around furthering the digital priva cy and equitable technology movement. \;\n \;\nMaansi Singh is a s enior at Jesuit High School in Portland\, Oregon. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the Encode Justice Oregon Chapter. Maansi has par ticipated in discussions surrounding the role of youth advocacy in AI et hics with organizations such as the United Nations\, Washington Post\, G oogle\, ACLU\, Meta and the World Economic Forum. Maansi believes that i ntellectual curiosity and the pursuit of new questions surrounding AI ar e ontological components of the ongoing discussion about human rights. T hrough Encode Justice and other efforts\, she has pursued the intersecti on between computer science\, ethics\, policy and education. \;\n 3\;\nSahana Srinivasan is a sophomore at Jesuit High School. She is the Director of Education for Encode Justice Oregon. She is especially inte rested in the intersection of AI in medicine. AI ethics is important to her because in the medical field\, it is critical that AI systems are bo th accurate\, reliable\, and without bias. \;\n \;\nJulianne Huang serves as the Co-Director of Research for Encode Justice’s Oregon Chapt er. Her position allows her to bring a youth voice into the AI Ethics co nversation and inspires her to continue being an advocate for people lik e her who have grown up in a tech-centered world.
