SUMMARY:AI for Good and the Bootstrapping Problem - Monash Prato Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:AI for Good and the Bootstrapping Problem – Monash Prato Dialogue\nThe Monash Prato Dialogue is a Monash Data Futures Institute Distinguished Lecture series on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on society. In this lecture\, Professor Shannon Vallor will discuss the ethical challenges and opportunities posed by new uses of data and AI. \nREGISTER: https://www.monash.edu/data-futures-institute/news/events/ai-for-good-and-the-bootstrapping-problem-monash-prato-dialogue \nAbout the speaker: \nProfessor Shannon Vallor is the Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence and Director of the Centre for Technomoral Futures in the Edinburgh Futures Institute at the University of Edinburgh\, where she is also a Professor in the Department of Philosophy. \nAbstract:\nIt is widely accepted that the digital age\, and artificial intelligence in particular\, presents increasingly urgent ethical challenges that call for responses guided by collective moral and political wisdom. One response\, to call for an alignment of AI with ‘social good’\, appears to have a noble and uncontroversial aim. \nIn this lecture Professor Vallor will discuss an unexamined problem with this framing that requires our attention. There is a ‘bootstrapping’ problem with calls to align AI with social good\, a problem that also impacts related suggestions to develop more virtuous or responsible models of AI innovation. The problem is that the very models of human and technical excellence most familiar and accessible to us today\, are precisely those that led us into the moral\, political and environmental crises that humanity now faces. \nProfessor Vallor will confront the problem of cultivating virtues and social goods of a new moral shape\, and the radical cultural transformations this may entail.

SUMMARY:Like the layers of an onion: Reproducibility and transparency in quantitative research
DESCRIPTION:Professor Ben Marwick\, University of Washington (USA)\nFriday\, 29 April\, 10 am – 11:30 am AEST\n\nThe successful reproducibility of research is fundamental to its reliability\, usefulness and value to the research community and to society. However\, as the computational complexity of research increases\, methods and tools for ensuring the reproducibility are yet to become mainstream. In this presentation Prof Ben Marwick (University of Washington) will describe an emerging consensus on ways of improving the computational reproducibility of social and natural science research. A ‘layered reproducibility’ approach to organise the various technologies available to enhance reproducibility in terms of effort to implement and payoff will be described. This approach has five layers and Ben will present their corresponding tools and technologies. \nPresented as part of the University of Wollongong Data and Decision Science Initiative \nREGISTER FOR YOUR WEBINAR LINK

SUMMARY:ARDC Panel Discussion: Improve visibility of research software for career advancement
DESCRIPTION:ARDC Panel Discussion: Improve visibility of research software for career advancement \nResearch software is not only an essential part of doing research\, but it is an important research output. The producers of pipelines\, workflows and software packages are increasingly being recognised for their contributions. How can you make\, share and maintain good research software in a way that will advance your career? \nDo you write code for your research? Are you making these new workflows\, pipelines\, scripts or computational methods available as software? Do you see your software contributions as a pathway to impact your career? If you answer yes to any of these questions\, please join us! \nFor this panel discussion\, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) has invited people who invest a lot of their time\, writing\, reviewing and maintaining bioinformatics software tools. We will have a wide-ranging discussion on how this benefits researchers and others\, the effect on career development\, research impact via software and what can be done to increase the recognition for this work. \nThe panel discussion will run for approximately 45 minutes\, followed by a Q&A session. \nMC: A/Prof Denis Bauer\, Principal Research Scientist\, Transformational Bioinformatics\, CSIRO \nPanelists: \n\nA/Prof. Kim-Anh Lê Cao\, NHMRC Career Development Fellow\, School of Mathematics and Statistics\, The University of Melbourne\nDr Sonika Tyagi\, Central Clinical School\, Monash University\nMr Fred Jaya\, School of Life and Environmental Sciences\, University of Sydney\nProfessor Gordon Smyth\, The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI)\n\nThis event is co-hosted by the ARDC\, Australian BioCommons and the ABACBS. \nIt forms part of the implementation of the ARDC National Research Software Agenda to make research software more visible\, better cited and maintained. \nHow to join: This webinar is free to join but you must register for a place in advance.

SUMMARY:AI4Pandemics Talk #9: Romesh Abeysuriya\, Burnet Institute
DESCRIPTION:Title: Long-term COVID-19 strategies with intermittent control measures \nZoom Link \nAbstract: The COVID-19 vaccines used in Australia have all demonstrated high efficacy against severe disease and death. However\, multiple models have shown that the combination of imperfect protection against infection and more infectious variants means that Australia\, and other countries globally\, are unlikely to achieve herd immunity. A key question is therefore what control strategies are proportionate and sustainable\, in a world with high vaccine coverage\, no herd immunity\, and ongoing importations of cases into the community from relaxed quarantine and increased travel. In this seminar\, I will present a modelling study carried out by the Burnet Institute where we used the Covasim model to explore options for using intermittent measures to maintain long-term epidemic control.

SUMMARY:EC Bayes Seminar: Francesca Crucinio\, University of Warwick - A particle method for Fredholm Integral Equations of the First Kind
DESCRIPTION:EC Bayes Seminar: Francesca Crucinio\, University of Warwick – A particle method for Fredholm Integral Equations of the First Kind\nWe present a novel method for the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind\, a set of ill-posed inverse problems which model\, among others\, reconstruction of images from distorted noisy observations and indirect density estimation. This novel method is based upon a non-standard sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithm which provides a stochastic discretisation of a smoothed expectation maximisation scheme (EMS) usually implemented under the assumption of piecewise constant solutions. The stochastic discretisation provided by SMC does not assume piecewise constant signals and results in smooth approximate solutions. We analyse the theoretical properties of the EMS iteration\, showing existence of a fixed point\, and of the corresponding SMC algorithms. We compare the novel method with alternatives using a simulation study and present results for realistic systems\, including motion deblurring and reconstruction of cross-section images of the brain from positron emission tomography. \nRegister now
