#MLDublin meets the ADAPT Centre @ DogPatch Labs
Details
For our July meetup we will have speaker from Octavian.ai and AI Ireland, our final speaker is to be announced.
AGENDA:
[18:00 - 18:30] Registration, Networking
[18:30 - 18:40] Introduction and welcome
[18:40 - 19:10] David Mack Founder / Researcher - Octavian.ai
Getting answers from knowledge graphs
David will cover some neural network approaches to answering questions about knowledge graphs. He'll describe one approach, using sequence translation and Cypher, discuss its advantages and limitations, then briefly talk about iterative reasoning networks.
[19:15 - 19:35] Georgiana Ifrim, Assistant Professor at University College Dublin, Insight Centre
Explainable Machine Learning Models for Structured Data
Machine learning models such as deep Neural Networks, Random Forests and
Support Vector Machines provide effective solutions for many applications.
Nevertheless, these approaches are currently mostly used as a black-box -
the user cannot understand their decision process.
This problem gets worse when the relevant input data already has a complicated structure.
For example, the input patterns may be arranged in a particular order, such as a sequence,
tree or graph, and the combination of possible patterns creates a very complex feature space
and typically leads to a large and complex prediction model.
For successful machine learning adoption, we need explainable machine learning models:
new learning algorithms that are effective, and whose outcome is easy to understand by the end user.
This talk briefly discusses some of our work on developing accurate machine learning
algorithms for sequences and time series, while keeping the interpretability of the model as a core
design constraint.
[19:35 - 19:55] Mark Kelly, Executive Director & Founder of AI Ireland
AI Podcaster Mark Kelly will share his experience of how companies are applying AI in Ireland and will also talk about the AI Awards happening later this year.
[20:00 - 20:55] Networking
