Banquet Speaker
Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning and Computer Science for Everyone
Dr. Carla Brodley, Professor and Dean Khoury College of Computer Sciences
Northeastern University
In this talk I will touch upon my two passions: human-in-the-loop
machine learning and computer science for everyone. I will first
present my research on how to combine machine learning and humans to
get the best of both in the context of two applications: generating
maps of global land cover of the Earth from remotely sensed data and
finding lesions in the MRI’s of treatment resistant epilepsy patients.
I will then present results of an initiative we are scaling at
Northeastern to increase the diversity of thought and demographics in
tech.

Panel Session - Saturday 9AM

Identifying and Dealing With Imposter Syndrome
Many individuals feel fear as a result of success instead of taking ownership of their accomplishments. Many emotionally intelligent individuals can deal with this feeling, commonly known as imposter syndrome. A group of women on this panel will highlight their own personal experiences, discuss ways of dealing with imposter syndrome and how it can also be advantageous to us. This discussion is aimed to help individuals overcome this feeling and create balance in our everyday lives.
Facilitator: Reem Soliman – D2L – Technical Account Manager

Freak Out. Breath. Coffee. Repeat. - Lessons from my early career in technology
Morgan Klein-MacNeil, AVP Techology
TD Bank
Morgan will share lessons from her early career, through the power of story, navigating her way from Technology Associate to Technology Executive. "Freak Out" – the insecurities we all face, better known as imposter syndrome, and the allergic reaction we have to taking bold bets on our careers. "Breathe" – finding your authentic voice and learning to use your uniqueness as your superpower. "Coffee" – not just about caffeine, but tools to building your network of champions. And finally "Repeat" – allowing yourself to grow and thrive in ways you never imagined.

Machine Learning in Big Data is a Team Sport
Monica Maria Lozano Romero, Machine Learning Engineer
Unity Technologies
We are in the era of big data! and we want to use it to make better decisions and to help game developers to provide engaged and unique experience to their users. However, building personalized services and products in production systems not only require edge cutting technologies in machine/deep learning but also require multidisciplinary teams with the right balance between scientific, technical and teamwork knowledge to make this happen. In this session we will present the challenges with putting in production machine/deep learning models, why using machine/deep learning in production is a team sport when having big data, and who is part of the dream team that will enable us to continuously add value to our business products.

An Extensible Cloud Based Avatar: Implementation and Evaluation
Enas Altarawneh
York University
A common issue in human-robot interaction is that a naive user expects an intelligent human-like conversational experience. Recent advances have enabled such experiences through cloud-based infrastructure; however, this is not currently possible on most mobile robots due to the need to access cloud-based (remote) AI technology. Here we describe a toolkit that supports interactive avatars using cloud-based resources for human-robot interaction. The toolkit deals with communication and rendering latency through parallelization and mechanisms that obscure delays. This technology can be used to put an interactive face on a mobile robot. But does an animated face on a robot actually make the interaction more effective or useful? To answer this question, we conducted a user study comparing human-robot interaction using text, audio, a realistic avatar, and a simplistic cartoon avatar. Although response time was longer for both avatar interfaces (due to increased computation and communication), this had no significant effect on participant satisfaction with the avatar-based interfaces. When asked about general preferences, more participants preferred the audio interface over the text interface, the avatar interfaces over the audio interface, and the realistic avatar interface over the cartoon avatar interface.

Staying Main-Stream: Creating Reactive Arcade Games using RxSwift
Erin Gallagher, Software Engineer, Uber
Katia Maeda, Software Enginner, Connected
Have you noticed that so many popular and widely used frameworks and architectures have been centered around the concept of reactiveness? We will teach you the basics of reactive programming by applying the paradigm to an arcade game. Reactive programming is a rapidly growing trend in many tech workplaces in an effort to manage the unprecedented amount of data driving today's applications. However, the jargon surrounding the concept makes it feel inaccessible and intimidating for many students and recent grads who rarely encounter it during their studies. Having had to climb a very steep learning curve on a project using ReactiveX with a leading audio electronics company, we want to flatten that curve a little for the next generation of great female programmers. Using RxSwift and Xcode Playgrounds, participants will have the opportunity to build a fun game and get hands-on experience with reactive concepts. Although it is not required, for a more hands on experience during the workshop please complete the setup instructions prior to attending, https://github.com/ErinCGallagher/reactive-arcade-game.

From Hype to Reality: The Power of Immersive Experiences with XR
Emily Wilson, Mobile Application Architect
IBM
What will it be like to live and work in our world 10 years from now? Thanks to advances in extended reality (XR), an umbrella term that encompasses immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), we are on the threshold of a compelling and imagination-inspiring time in which our reality will extend through the merging of the physical and virtual world. In this talk, the different parts of Extended Reality will be explained. We will explore the value and potential of immersive experiences in some key industries. Real-world examples and research from key influencers in this space will be shared.

Technologies that Empower People with Disabilities
Maya Jones, Software Developer
D2L
We use the Internet today for practically everything. Browsers and apps are our windows to the Internet. We need our eyes and hands to interact with the Internet through them. What if we lose the ability to see or use our hands temporarily or permanently? Can people still access the Internet if they are vision-impaired or cannot use their hands? The answer is YES. There are technologies to help such people with disabilities connect with browsers and apps. In this session, we will introduce the audience to different technologies such as screen reader, screen magnifier, speech input, onscreen keyboard, head mouse, and switches used by people with disabilities to assist them with Internet access. We will also explain how websites and apps need to be created with accessibility in mind for these technologies to work well. We will show videos of people with different visual and physical disabilities using these technologies to perform learning tasks on the Brightspace Learning Management System. Our goal is to introduce the audience to the concept of assistive technologies that people with disabilities use and educate them about the importance of web accessibility to truly empower them.

Improving the Efficiency and Safety of Self Driving Testing Through Simulation
Melinda Lu, Research Engineer
Uber
In the current self driving world, it is still very common to test algorithms physically on the car, in either a controlled testing environment (test track), or real world roads. While physical tests are the most reliable and accurate, they are costly, risky, time consuming, lack variety, and do not allow to test rare and difficult edge cases. In this talk, we cover the solution to efficient and safe self driving algorithm testing: sensor simulation. At Uber ATG, we use high fidelity and realistic simulations, in order to enable rapid iterations of self driving software development. With our state of the art sensor simulators, we are not only able to train and evaluate deep learning models faster, but also quickly fix offline testing failures.
