SUMMARY:ACEMS Impact Workshop for Researchers and Students
DESCRIPTION:ACEMS Impact Workshop for Researchers and Students\nACEMS is pleased to invite you to attend a workshop on the topic of Research Impact\, tailored for the mathematical sciences.  It will be co-facilitated by Impact Research Academy and ACEMS. \nWorkshop Details – Please RSVP (for Zoom Links) \nAims and Benefits of Workshop \nThis workshop is designed\, firstly\, to be of practical career benefit to participating researchers and research students and\, secondly\, to help you generate outputs to communicate and promote the benefits of your research. \nThe workshop will help participants to: \n\nunderstand the growing significance of research impact in the Australian\, and wider\, research context – and provide practical knowledge to help you in your research career\nthink about the benefits\, within and beyond academia\, realised from the mathematical sciences (from theoretical to applied) and your research\nbuild and share knowledge\, and grow capabilities\, around research impact\, including best practices for creating\, capturing\, valuing\, and communicating your research impact\nengage in practical activities designed to help you\n\nexplore a mixture of methods to value your research impact\ncommunicate some of your research impact (prospectively or retrospectively)\n\n\nenjoy discussions designed to help us all think about how we can amplify our impact\nhelp you prepare research impact statements/narratives\, including for use in reporting and promoting your work\n\nThe workshop will be held online (over Zoom) over two part-days.  Ideally\, participants will attend both days (or as much as they can). \n\nDates: 29th & 30th June\nTime: 9.30am – 12.30pm AEST\nWhere: Via Zoom (note there is a different link for each day)\nPlease click on this Eventbrite page to:\n\nview the program overview for both days\nregister to attend (you will receive Zoom links following registration)\nstay updated on any developments (including local node activities linked to the workshop)

SUMMARY:Bayesian hierarchical stacking—All models are wrong\, but some are somewhere useful
DESCRIPTION:Bayesian hierarchical stacking—All models are wrong\, but some are somewhere useful\nStacking is a widely used model averaging technique. Like many other ensemble methods\, stacking is more effective when model predictive performance is heterogeneous in inputs\, in which case we can further improve the stacked mixture with a hierarchical model. In this talk I will focus on the recent development of Bayesian hierarchical stacking: an approach that locally aggregates models. The weight is  a function of data\, partially-pooled\, inferred using Bayesian inference\,  and can further incorporate other structured priors and complex data. I will also discuss some theory bounds: when and why model averaging is useful; what model dissimilarity metric is relevant to Bayesian ensembles. \nRegister now

SUMMARY:AI and the Future of Education
DESCRIPTION:AI and the Future of Education\nMonash Education\, in collaboration with the Monash Data Futures Institute\, is organizing a panel discussion on “AI and the future of education” with internationally acclaimed researchers who will cast a critical eye on the increasing attention being paid to AI-driven applications and systems in education. \nThe panel will explore questions like “what forms of AI technology are being implemented in education\, and what implications do they have for students\, teachers and education institutions?” and “how do the imagined educational benefits of AI contrast with the practical limitations of actually using these technologies?”. \nRegister now
