Dear all,
Our next AI seminar on "Developing AI Decision Tools for Conservation" by Iadine Chades is scheduled to be on November 18th(Tomorrow), 2-3 PM PST. It will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A session with the graduate students.
Please note that the speaker will be on zoom for the event but it will be set up in KEC 1003 (different from the usual location) for everyone to attend.
Also Please note the time: 2 - 3 PM (Different from the usual time of previous seminars)
Developing AI Decision Tools for Conservation
Iadine Chades
Principal Research Scientist
CSIRO
Abstract:
I will give an overview of the AI research we have been conducting to help make better decisions in the field of conservation (e.g. adaptive management) over the last 10 years. In particular, we have developed algorithms to solve and increase interpretability of Markov decision models and stochastic dynamic programming. I will be highlighting that the current bottleneck is not necessary our ability to solve complex decision problems, rather it is our ability to make solutions easy to interpret and more likely to be trusted.
Speaker Bio:
Iadine Chades is a principal research scientist with the CSIRO. She is an activity leader with the MLAI Future Science Platform (2019-) where she focuses on developing Artificial Intelligence algorithms for decision-making in applied domains such as conservation, biosecurity and health. Iadine is also a Chief Investigator with NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence SPECTRUM (Supporting Participatory Evidence generation to Control Transmissible diseases in our Region Using Modelling). More recently, Iadine is investigating when and how to integrate social sciences and machine learning.
