Abstract: In order to take advantage of the power of machine learning methods, a system requires a large amount of data that is appropriately labeled in order to train a model. When data sets grow in size and complexity and the number of labels also grows, accessing data that is already labeled can be challenging and too expensive. To overcome this challenge and label a large dataset to train a machine learning model, we proposed “CDALT”, a semi-supervised and active learning framework which allows labelers to label their datasets fast and reliably. | Elena Eneva |
| 09/01/2020 09/02/2020 | 5:15 p.m. 11:15 a.m. | 5:30 p.m. 11:30 a.m. | Federated Predictive Maintenance Abstract: This demo showcases the benefits of a federated training for a predictive maintenance use case. Based on sensor measurement data, we are comparing four strategies for engine maintenance: corrective, preventive, predictive and federated. The demo aims to demonstrate the gain in predictive performance provided by the federated strategy compared to the three other strategies. | Richard Vidal and Laura Degioanni |
| 09/02/2020 09/03/2020 | 10:15 a.m. | 10:35 a.m. | Computational Creativity For New Product Development Abstract: The future is humans and machines working productively together, where machines don’t just automate but collaborate with humans in an impactful way. This demo helps us imagine being able to use AI like a team-mate, that helps in your product development process. | Jer Hayes |
| 09/02/2020 09/03/2020 | 10:30 a.m. | 11:00 a.m. | Explainable AI for Banking: Counterfactual Explanations for Credit Applications Abstract: In recent years models have become deeper and more complex with resulting gains in predictive power. However this can come with a cost to transparency, the model is returning solutions but we don’t why. Explainable AI (XAI) aims at providing humans an explanation or intuition for these solutions. This demo will look at one such method called “Counterfactual Explanations”. By looking at small perturbations to the input vector the Counterfactual Explanations generate multiple “what if” scenarios that help explain why a certain automated decision was reached and what it would take to change that decision. | Rory McGrath |
| 09/02/2020 | 11:00 a.m. | 11:30 a.m. | Scriptless Conversations Abstract: What if we could create a chatbot that could answer users’ queries only using a knowledge graph? This essentially means a paradigm shift from explicit conversational modelling techniques involving training of user utterances and templatizing of system responses. Introducing “Scriptless conversation” – Conversational AI using a knowledge graph. Our goal is to map free-form factoid, process-oriented and logical queries to a knowledge graph. | Roshni Ramnani |
| 09/02/2020 09/03/2020 | 4:30 p.m. 11:00 a.m. | 5:00 p.m. 11:30 a.m. | AI for Life Sciences: Using Ampligraph to speed up the Drug Discovery Process Abstract: This demo showcases how we modelled Genetic data in the form of a Knowledge Graph by using our in-house developed and open-source library, AmpliGraph, to learn the complex interactions and discover new associations between genes and diseases. | Sumit Pai |
| 09/02/2020 09/03/2020 | 5:15 p.m. 11:15 a.m. | 5:30 p.m. 11:30 a.m. | AI for Workforce Reskilling: Using Knowledge Graph Embeddings to Guide Employee’s Choices Abstract: Shifting supply and demand for skills mean that mid-career reskilling of employees is an important concern for many companies and employees alike. We demonstrate the potential for Knowledge Graph Embeddings to capture contextual information about skills and work for the use case of inspiring and guiding employees selecting new-skilling options. | Diarmuid Cahalane |
| 09/04/2020 | 1:45 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. | Measuring Algorithmic Fairness: challenges and solutions for the industry | Laura Alvarez Jubete, Andreea-Roxana Miu, Medb Corcoran and Steven Tiell |
| 09/04/2020 | 1:45 p.m. | 5:00 p.m. | Knowledge Graph Embeddings: From Theory to Practice | Luca Costabello, Sumit Pai, Nicholas McCarthy and Adrianna Janik |
