As a visual artist, datasets are a core part of both my process and output. I will talk about what I believe at dataset to be; the compiling and training machine learning on datasets; exploring how datasets are created and possibilities for overcoming bias the different ways they can be constructed and some of the the issues, problems, solutions with working with them. In particular I will be focusing on classification and the consequences of using it in datasets, machine learning, and artistic works.

Using Machine Learning in an Artistic Context: Classification and Consquences

EMNLP 2021 is planned to be a hybrid event in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with both on-site and fully virtual participation possible. The experience for on-site participants would closely approximate a normal pre-COVID *ACL conference, with 5-6 thematically organized parallel sessions and live Q/A and interactive discussion immediately after the talks. Presentations by virtual participants will be equitably interleaved with those of on-site participants, projected on the auditorium screens as if on-site, and also followed immediately by live Q/A and interactive discussion at a time during reasonable waking hours for the virtual presenter. For all participants, on-site and virtual, who are unable to attend a session due to either time-zone issues or because they are participating in another session live, talk recordings and slides will be available online at a minimum after the live presentation (and in many cases before as well), and questions may be submitted in advance on session-specific discussion boards and answered live in session with the usual visual aids if desired.

keynote

The 8th AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2020) will be held October 26–28th virtually at The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, The Netherlands.

While artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) represent traditional mainstays of the conference, HCOMP believes strongly in fostering and promoting broad, interdisciplinary research. Our field is particularly unique in the diversity of disciplines it draws upon and contributes to, including human-centered qualitative studies and HCI design, social computing, artificial intelligence, economics, computational social science, digital humanities, policy, and ethics. We promote the exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing not only among researchers, but also engineers and practitioners, to encourage dialogue across disciplines and communities of practice.

This year, we especially invite works that will generate new insights into the quality (or qualities) of human-annotated datasets, including elements such as reliability and replicability of human computation and crowdsourcing experiments, novel metrics for aggregation of results, and holistic approaches to deal with bias, fairness and interpretability.

User engagement plays a central role in companies and organisations that aimed to personalise their online services. A main challenge is to leverage knowledge about the online interaction of users to understand what engages them. A common way that engagement is measured and understood is through the definition and development of metrics of user satisfaction, which can act as a proxy of user engagement. This talk will present various works and personal thoughts on how to measure user engagement. It will discuss the definition and development of metrics of user satisfaction that can be used as a proxy of user engagement. An important message is that, for personalisation to work both in the short and the long-term, it is important to consider the heterogeneity of both user and content to formalise the notion of engagement, and in turn design the appropriate metrics to capture these and optimize for. One way to achieve this is to follow these four steps: 1) Understanding intents; 2) Optimizing for the right metric; 3) Acting on segmentation; and 4) Thinking about diversity. The talk will illustrate these steps with some of the research at Spotify.
