*** Open Source Software for Data Science ***

Open-source software is fundamentally necessary to ensure that the tools of data science are broadly accessible, and to provide a reliable and trustworthy foundation for reproducible research. This talk will delve into why open source software is so important and discuss the role of corporations as stewards of open source software. I'll also talk about how RStudio is structured and organized to pursue its mission of creating open source software for data science.

J.J. Allaire is a software engineer and entrepreneur who has created a wide variety of products including ColdFusion, Open Live Writer, Lose It!, and RStudio.

*** Data, visualization, and designing with AI ***

Recent progress in machine learning has raised a series of urgent questions: How can we train and debug deep learning models? How can we understand what is going on inside a neural network? And, perhaps most important, how can we design systems that serve people best? We'll show a series of examples from the People+AI Research (PAIR) initiative at Google--ranging from data visualizations for researchers, to tools for medical practitioners, to guidelines for designers--that illustrate how thinking carefully about data can lead to better tools, more effective design, and help humans and AI work together.

Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg are pioneers in data visualization and analytics. Their research has helped shape the field, and the systems they've built are used daily by millions of people. Fernanda and Martin are co-leaders of Google's PAIR (People + AI Research) initiative, which focuses on making AI technology broadly accessible and reflective of human values. Their prior work at Google has appeared on the Google search page, on YouTube, and in mission-critical internal data analytics tools.

Before joining Google, at IBM Research, the two created the ground-breaking public visualization platform Many Eyes, which introduced visualization to millions of users worldwide. Viégas and Wattenberg are also known for visualization-based artwork, which has been exhibited in venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, London Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
