Project Pensive - Using AI to Increase Human Agency
Показать описание
Synthetic Intelligence Forum is delighted to convene a fireside chat with the VP of AI Engineering and CIO of the Vector Institute.
Ron is the VP of AI Engineering and Chief Information Officer at the Vector Institute as well as the Engineering Lead at the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society.
Title: Project Pensive - Using AI to Increase Human Agency
Theme: This session will present the context, overview of techniques, demonstrate results to date, and offer future directions for Project Pensive, which uses AI research to improve online recommendations by increasing human agency. The Project's first open-source release includes tools to alter the ranking of content based on tone, such as civility, and diversity of information. Project Pensive leverages recent advances in applying transformers to language modeling, using Deep Learning for recommendation systems, multi-modal learning, active learning, and integrating multiple tasks and knowledge sets. It builds on the success of AI techniques for content moderation in large online platforms but focuses on giving more user agency over what content is of interest, rather than for filtering content.
About the speaker: Ron is the VP of AI Engineering and CIO at Vector Institute and is the Engineering Lead at the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology in Society. Ron is responsible for leading engineering teams that apply Vector’s leading AI research to industry and healthcare problems for Canada, that develop open source software, and that establish and support world class scientific computing infrastructure to scale the adoption of beneficial AI.
Previously, Ron was responsible for Applied Artificial Intelligence in the Google Cloud CTO office where he spearheaded collaborative innovation efforts working with strategic customers and Google AI research and engineering teams. Ron was the founding CEO of Think Big Analytics. Think Big Analytics provided enterprise data science and engineering services and software such as Kylo for enterprise data lakes and data science and was acquired by Teradata in 2014. After the acquisition, Ron led Think Big’s global expansion and created an Artificial Intelligence incubator at Teradata.
