AMii Virtual AI MeetUP
2020-07-16 17:00 - 18:30 | Virtual Online
Learn about the latest tools and techniques in machine learning, and explore topics that researchers and industry professionals are thinking about or working on. Each meetup features two presenters; at the end of each presentation, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session.
Presenters for this month include:
Nick Kalogirou – Data Scientist at G2V Optics
We are still in the early days of determining what ethical practice looks like for the field of data science. There are numerous examples of both benefits and harms of artificial narrow intelligence. As AI-enabled technology continues developing, ethics provides a lens to ask critical questions of both modeler and model. During this talk, Nick will explore a brief overview of who is working on AI ethics; the themes of work; where we are lacking development; and what to do as data scientists about this continuous journey of ethics.
Shems Saleh – ML Lead at Vector Institute
When a Machine Learning scientist starts a project with a healthcare professional, it is not obvious what questions are important to ask in order to help the team get on the same page and develop clear expectations. This talk will discuss Collabsheets, a list of questions directed at a broad audience that translates insights from experienced veterans in the ML-Health collaborative space into the field to everyone. The goal is to help grow the community by lowering the initial barrier to much-needed interdisciplinary collaboration. Each section divides these questions into topic categories, with the aim of easier real-world use.
Join us virtually for Amii’s monthly AI Meetup and be a part of building Alberta’s growing AI community!

About this Event

This week’s lunch focuses on supporting Black-owned and Black-led restaurants, chefs and organizations in Edmonton, now and always. In the spirit of gathering with friends over food and conversation, we’ll grab a bite to eat and check-in.
What are you eating for lunch? How are you doing?
What are you noticing?
How can we support Black lives, life and livelihoods in YEG?
What does a just and anti-racist food system look like in this city?
We’ll be joined by friends, food justice advocates and community-builders including:
Kyla Pascal of Nowhere Kitchen and Indigenous Climate Action
Junetta Jamerson of Black Women United
Sharif Haji of the Africa Centre
——
WHAT: #EatWithMeYEG is a virtual lunch that supports local businesses and helps us stay connected with each other and our communities during social distancing times.
WHEN: July 22, 12-1 pm.
WHERE: Over the phone and virtual. Join details will be sent after registration
WHY: On March 18 we launched our first virtual lunch — the YEG Chinatown Take-Out Edition. We were inspired by the #IWillEatWithYou movement, started by the Australian community action organization GetUp! to support businesses and restaurants affected by racism and xenophobia resulting from COVID-19. We were also inspired by our friends in Vancouver who organized a similar event in their Chinatown on March 13.
HOW: Order take-out or delivery from your favourite Black-owned local restaurant in YEG. A few lists for inspiration.
