Data Science User Group monthly meetup

For this month’s data science user group meeting, we will be discussing responsible computing and considerations for data science with regards to our changing society and various ethical and social concerns. We will kick off the meeting with two short presentations: Dr. William Sullivan, Professor of Landscape Architecture at UIUC and Director of the Smart, Healthy Cities Initiative, will be presenting on his team’s work on the SaferIllinois app and how they needed to consider both the protection of health as well as privacy. Then we'll hear from Motahhare Eslami, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon and former Google PhD Fellowship awardee, who will be discussing her work on understanding how humans interact with AI algorithms and how bias affects many stages of this interaction. After the short presentations, our DSUG leadership will moderate a Q&A session and encourage participation from the Zoom attendees.
