SUMMARY:Her Story Competition
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 18\, 2021\, for the inaugural HerStory 2021 Competition featuring 30 inspiring women-identifying entrepreneurs who will be sharing their stories in front of a panel of Champions looking to invest. \nIncluding special guest speakers from across Canada’s entrepreneurial and investment ecosystem\, HerStory is a national virtual event that will spark a movement focused on diversifying the investing and founder landscape. \nWhat to expect: \nHerStory participants will take turns sharing their stories with the audience and our panel of Champions. Each participant will have a couple of minutes to answer questions from the Champions that will dig deeper into participants’ journeys\, and then later\, as the Champions deliberate\, we’ll have a fireside chat with a special surprise guest! \nAttendees are highly encouraged to stay for the entire duration of the event to give each woman the audience she deserves for her narrative. \nOn November 18\, 2021\, we hope you’ll join us in cheering on and championing these founders as they share their stories of entrepreneurship and their journey to founding their company. \nWhy HerStory? \nStudies have shown what women entrepreneurs and investors have known for decades: traditional pitch competitions consistently fail women. HerStory is quite literally flipping the script. By leading with narrative and encouraging a relatable\, honest and intuitively woman-centred approach to information\, connection and business building\, we’re challenging the traditional pitch model and spurring innovation. HerStory amplifies a diversity of voices and connects modern entrepreneurs with appropriate investors\, increasing the likelihood of women accessing pathways to success. \nFor more information visit: https://the51.com/herstory

SUMMARY:Canada Club Toronto: Financial Literacy is not nearly enough

SUMMARY:Bridging the Connectivity Challenge: Hackathon to Improve Rural Alberta
DESCRIPTION:TACKLE A REAL-WORLD PROBLEM TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF RURAL ALBERTANS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nDo you enjoy problem-solving\, analytics\, and creativity? This is your opportunity to use those skills to help hack the digital divide! Get access to open data sets\, virtual machines\, and data science workshops to develop your expertise and create your very own data product. \nAbout the Hackathon:  \nBy 2021\, Canada’s federal government has committed to bringing high-speed internet to 90% of Canadians. However\, we still have a long ways to go. Many rural communities are still working on bridging that digital divide. \nCybera and ISAIC are teaming up to host a virtual open data science hackathon from May 3-30\, 2021. This event will give participants (individuals or self-formed teams) the opportunity to connect with others from across the province who are interested in data science. Extract insights from open data sets\, and leverage virtual machines and professional development workshops to develop a solution that will enrich our province. \nThe goals of this hackathon are to: \n\nUse relevant and open data to assess the connectivity barriers and gaps that exist throughout Alberta. This includes identifying communities that are under-served.\nAssess the correlation between social and economic indicators\, and the speed of connectivity\, to determine the role high-speed internet plays in community growth and sustainability.\n\n\n\nParticipants will create and submit data science products that:  \n\nHave a clear goal or hypothesis that aligns with the hackathon’s goals\nIdentify\, use\, and transform relevant open datasets\nOffer compelling metrics and data visualizations that support the participant’s hypothesis\nTell a story\n\nRural Alberta communities will directly benefit from your efforts\, as the output will be used to inform community planning and advocacy efforts for access to high-speed internet. \nSee the hackathon website for more information. View the full rules. \nPrizes \nOver $4\,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to multiple teams and individuals. (Stay tuned for prize details) \n\nBest Overall Award\nSocial Impact Award\nTechnical Implementation ISAIC Award\nSolo Effort Award\n\nJudging Criteria \n\nSocial Impact = 25%\nCreativity & Resourcefulness = 25%\nCommunicating Your Project Story = 25%\nTechnical Proficiency\, Implementation and Feasibility = 25%

SUMMARY:AMII AI Seminars: Two-player\, Zero-sum games
DESCRIPTION:Amii researcher at the University of Alberta Dustin Morrill presents “Hindsight Rationality and Efficient Deviation Types in Extensive-Form Games”. In this talk\, he suggests to field learning algorithms that ensure strong performance in hindsight relative to “deviations” (pre-defined behaviour modifications) in two-player\, zero-sum games. \nAbstract: A successful approach to playing two-player\, zero-sum games has been to deploy a static artifact resembling a Nash equilibrium\, which has led work in artificial intelligence to focus on computing such artifacts. This approach is less sound and has been less successful in multi-player\, general-sum games. We suggest instead to field learning algorithms that ensure strong performance in hindsight relative to “deviations”\, i.e.\, pre-defined behavior modifications. A society of such “hindsight rational” agents converges toward mediated equilibrium\, a traditional notion of equilibrium based on average correlated play rather than factored behavior\, in contrast to Nash equilibrium. We re-examine deviation types and mediated equilibria in extensive-form games to gain a more complete understanding and resolve past misconceptions. We introduce a new deviation type that has implicitly formed the basis for the counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) algorithm. We generalize CFR to the extensive-form regret minimization (EFR) algorithm that is hindsight rational for any given deviation type within a broad and natural class. This class contains powerful new deviation types that are efficient to use in games with moderate lengths. We present an empirical analysis of EFR’s performance with different deviation types in common benchmark games\, showing that stronger deviation types typically impart better performance\, even in two-player\, zero-sum games. \nPresenter Bio: Dustin is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) working with Professor Michael Bowling. He works on multi-agent learning and scaleable\, dependable learning algorithms. He is a coauthor of [DeepStack] and he created [Cepheus’s public match interface]. He completed a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computing science at the University of Alberta where his M.Sc was also supervised by Michael Bowling. As an undergraduate\, he worked with the Computer Poker Research Group (CPRG) to create an [open-source web interface to play against poker bots] and to develop the 1st-place 3-player Kuhn poker entry in the 2014 Annual Computer Poker Competition (ACPC).
