SUMMARY:Data Science and Wildfire Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Join the Melbourne Centre for Data Science for this first of\, hopefully\, many\, hack events focused on interdisciplinary peer-to-peer learning and discovery among individuals at various stages of their career. \nThe topic: data science and wildfire\nThe urgency of wildfire study in Australia is increasing. We have all seen the reports promising us an intense summer to come and\, in some areas of our country\, the fires have already begun. \nWildfire affects the environment and vice versa. Wildfire affects the economy and vice versa. Wildfire affects community\, disaster and resilience planning\, and welfare. Wildfire affects us all. In more ways that just indicated here. \nThere are volumes of data available to us now. We won’t be starting from scratch but we need new approaches\, new connections\, new tools. We need all hands on deck – we need you! \nPlease join us – Melbourne Centre for Data Science and Flare Wildfire Research – for this dive into the data. \nAre you a Grad student (Masters\, PhD) or an Early Career Researcher (postdocs\, RA\, etc)? Are you a professor? Do you work in fire management? Is your area of research in data analysis\, spatial\, combustion engineering\, landscape ecology\, forest science\, computer programming\, invasive species or similar fields? Do you want to contribute\, collaborate\, and learn? \nPlease put forward your interest now.\nWe’ll be creating teams of mixed expertise – these could look like an experienced landscape ecologist\, a spatial champion\, a robust coder\, and a fire specialist.\nWe’ll be exploring questions like: characterising diversity – spatial vs temporal\, patterns in wildfire\, redefining fire regime – what is the new normal?\, land use maps …and more. \nWhat takeaways are there to be had from this different style hack? New skills and knowledge transfer\, new perspectives and community-building\, the kick-start to new collaborations\, new code written and understanding of advances in adjacent disciplines\, among other things. \nJump in\, join us. We’re holding this in person from 8 -10 November in The Studio at Melbourne Connect.

SUMMARY:U.N. Datathon with the ADSN
DESCRIPTION:What do you get when you throw a group of people together who don’t know each other\, who come from different backgrounds and disciplines\, and give them a tight deadline to solve a difficult and challenging problem? \nThe answer: The U.N. Datathon\, hosted by the Australian Data Science Network (ADSN). \nThe ADSN hosted seven U.N. Datathon teams over four days (3-6 November) at the QUT Centre for Data Science in Brisbane. An eighth ADSN team competed together at the Melbourne Centre for Data Science. \nRather than having teams of people who already know each other enter the competition\, the ADSN asked people to submit individual expressions of interest to take part in the event. The ADSN then took all those EOIs and put together teams of people from different universities and organisations\, and with varying level of experience. \nOne of the main aims of the ADSN is to get different centres and universities talking and working together. On a different scale\, that was the goal for the ADSN in creating these teams of people who didn’t know each other – and it appeared to work brilliantly!  After just four days\, they left with new friends and new connections\, knowing they had come together in a short amount of time to attack a challenging problem. Each of the teams tackled a different U.N. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). \nThe ADSN would especially like to acknowledge the QUT Centre for Data Science and its Director\, Distinguished Professor Kerrie Mengersen\, for hosting and for financial support of this event. CDS provided travel grants to many of the participants and provided several meals\, along with snacks for the whole weekend. \nThe ADSN hopes to continue doing U.N. Datathon events in the years to come with even more teams! \nHighlights of the ADSN Event at the QUT Centre for Data Science in Brisbane \n\nFriday evening Opening Ceremony and Networking Event at QUT\nThree days of intense problem solving. The Centre was open from 6 am to 11 pm on Saturday\, Sunday and Monday\nSaturday and Sunday morning brekky BBQs\nSunday Pizza night\nHosting teams from all these different universities & organisations\n\nQUT Centre for Data Science\nMelbourne Centre for Data Science & The University of Melbourne\nMonash Data Futures Institute & Monash University\nSydney Precision Data Science Centre & the University of Sydney\nThe University of Adelaide\nUNSW Data Science Hub & UNSW\nWestern Sydney University\nNSW Ministry of Health\nUniversity of Wollongong\n\n\n\nOur official video greeting for the U.N.

This lecture describes my collaborative peer-reviewed research with cardiologists in Switzerland since 2018\, to map and forecast OHCA risk\, and to use this to optimise Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) deployment in Canton Ticino\, Switzerland. Flexible location models were found to increase overall OHCA coverage and decrease the distance to nearby AEDs\, so saving lives and at the same time reducing public-health expenditure. For every minute lost in response time\, the AED success rate decreases by 7-10%. Geospatial models of OHCA and AED accessibility with uncertainty quantified\, were used to identify communities with the greatest gap between demand and supply for allocating AEDs\, which were then used to evaluate models for precise AED-location deployment. These were further used to evaluate strategies for deployment of Lay First Responders (LFRs) in relation to the OHCA and AED locations. A Bayesian spatio-temporal model with a dynamic temporal component was used to predict future OHCAs. Model-based risk maps adjusted for demographic covariates were used to explain and forecast the spatial distribution of OHCAs in Canton Ticino. The lecture will conclude with new work on using neural networks in the Bayesian spatio-temporal model\, which allows current and future detection of high-risk areas of OHCA with uncertainty quantified. \nThe lecture and refreshments that follow are open to all.

SUMMARY:Doing an Ultrasound Scan of the Sun with AI
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is part of the Monash Conversations on AI and Data Science series\, which focuses on the impactful AI/data science research being done by Monash University researchers. The series is run by the Monash Data Futures Institute. \nSpeaker: Dr Alina Donea\, School of Mathematics\, Monash University \nAbstract \nIn the scenario of a strong solar coronal mass ejection\, we would only receive a mere 30-minute warning before an immense solar event\, which could have devastating consequences for our satellite technology and society. Regrettably\, this limited timeframe does not allow for the activation of emergency protocols or the implementation of practical measures. \nTo enhance our preparedness and minimize the potential impact\, it is imperative to strive for significantly longer warning periods. It is essential that we lend our ears to the Sun’s messages. In this session\, Dr Alina Donea will demonstrate the utilization of solar images (generated by AI and a deep neural network\, referring to conditional Generative Adversarial Network (sGAN)) to enhance predictions of solar activity from the side of the Sun that is not visible\, leading to significant advancements in space weather forecasting. \nREGISTER: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/doing-an-ultrasound-scan-of-the-sun-with-ai-tickets-681265502457

SUMMARY:DARE Seminar: How remote sensing and big data are changing our view of the coast
DESCRIPTION:Join the ARC DARE Centre for in-person seminar at UNSW\, followed by networking and nibbles! \nBig Data\, Big Dreams: How Remote Sensing and Big Data are Changing Our View of the Coast \nCoastal science and engineering is a relatively young field and historically has lacked sufficient data to be able to understand how this complex earth system works at both large temporal and spatial scales. Yet\, with a large portion of the world’s population living within 50km of the coastline\, we are being asked to provide advice and understanding on how coastlines will change into the future. \nThis talk will first provide a bit of context on just how data sparse our field is\, and how we are now engaging and rapidly trying to catch up to our hydrological colleagues. We will discuss how we are applying basic machine learning techniques to improve our ability to predict coastal change at a variety of timescales of interest to the public\, from individual storms\, to where the coast might be by 2100. \nThe talk will be aimed at a broadscale (non-expert) audience\, discussing the challenges associated with trying to model the coastline\, and the techniques we have so far applied\, and we’d love thoughts and ideas from the audience as well. \nSpeakers: Associate Professor Kristen Splinter and Patrick ‘Kit’ Calcraft \nKristen is an ARC Future Fellow and Deputy Director of the Water Research Laboratory at UNSW Sydney. Her work encompasses a wide range of coastal topics examining sandy beach evolution from storms to multiple decades. She has developed a number of behavioural type numerical models to predict sandbar and shoreline evolution and the focus of her Fellowship will be to develop regional scale models for long-term shoreline prediction\, along the embayed coastlines of NSW. She’s been dipping her toes into machine learning since about 2015 but her students are the real experts. \nKit is a DARE affiliated PhD candidate in his first year working on machine learning methods for shoreline prediction\, including bridging the gap between physics and ML. He is co-supervised by Associate Professor Kristen Splinter\, Dr Josh Simmons (DARE) and Professor Lucy Marshall. He will present an overview of what he’s been up to in year 1 of his PhD.

SUMMARY:AI for Good and the Bootstrapping Problem - Monash Prato Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The Monash Data Futures Institute is hosting its first Monash Prato Dialogue lecture of the year with guest speaker\, Professor Shannon Vallor from the University of Edinburgh. Professor Vallor will discuss the bootstrapping problem with calls to align AI with social good. \nREGISTER\nAbout the speaker \nProfessor Shannon Vallor is the Baillie Gifford Professor in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence in the University of Edinburgh’s Department of Philosophy. She directs the Centre for Technomoral Futures in the Edinburgh Futures Institute and co-directs the UKRI Enabling a Responsible AI Ecosystem programme. She is also a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute. \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 Prof 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. \nProf Vallor will confront the problem of cultivating virtues and social goods of a new moral shape\, and the radical cultural transformations this may entail.
