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).

SUMMARY:Tyler Waye: How to Navigate the Unknown Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:Tyler Waye addresses the topic\, 10\,000 Days: How to Navigate the Unknown Future of Work as a featured guest of the Lougheed College Lectures.\nWork-place disruption now travels at warp speed\, leaving Alberta’s workers stunned by its scale and intensity. It used to take decades for work – its content\, processes\, organization – to transform. These transformations would often occur in eras or locales that were readily identified\, such as the “lost decade” or “the rust belt.” Such identification meant that help could be organized and deployed. Today\, transformation is much more rapid\, and its direction and consequences are much less predictable. It’s happening to all of us. Now. With the average career stretching across 10\,000 days\, how are we to navigate this unknown future of work? Tyler Waye undertook an intensive year of research across 12 countries\, asking: \n\nHow can individuals and institutions build a sustainable foundation for success given unprecedented change?\nHow do we individually navigate our life’s work without knowing what tomorrow will hold?\nAnd what might the government’s role look like within this growing challenge?\n\nWaye’s investigation yielded four critical factors that will shape modern work’s challenges and changes. Join us for this timely\, provocative and motivating exploration of his findings. \nBe informed\, challenged\, and inspired by local\, national\, and international leaders from government\, business\, academica\, and the cultural and nonprofit sectors. The Lougheed College Lectures sponsored by Syncrude present exceptional speakers from interdisciplinary backgrounds. They will share their perspectives and insights on the leadership needed to face the complex challenges of the 21st century. \nThu\, January 21\, 2021  7:00 PM – 8:30 PM MST
