foundations of algorithmic fairness
Posted in Statistics, University life with tags AI, ELLIS network, fairness, Genoa, Paris, Saarbrücken, workshop on February 14, 2021 by xi'an
Just forwarding the announcement of an online workshop on algorithmic fairness, on 12 and 16 March (great idea to separate the two afternoons, GT-wise afternoons). It is organised by Paris, Genoa and Saarbrücken ELLIS units, and, although a member of the Paris unit, I am not involved in this event. (The speakers are pictured above.)

Next summer, from 19 July till 27 August, there will be a six week program at CIRM on the above theme, bringing together scientists from both the academic and industrial communities. The program includes a one-week summer school followed by 5 weeks of research sessions on projects proposed by academic and industrial partners.
Confirmed speakers of the summer school (Jul 19-23) are:
- Albert Cohen (Sorbonne University)
- Masoumeh Dashti (University of Sussex)
- Eric Moulines (Ecole Polytechnique)
- Anthony Nouy (Ecole Centrale de Nantes)
- Claudia Schillings (Mannheim University)
Junior participants may apply for fellowships to cover part or the whole stay. Registration and application to fellowships will be open soon.
end-to-end Bayesian learning [CIRM]

It takes place 22-29 October 2021 on this wonderful campus at the border with the beautiful Parc National des Calanques, in a wonderfully renovated CIRM building and involves friends and colleagues of mine as organisers and plenary speakers. (I am not involved!, but plan to organise a scalable MCMC workshop there the year after!) The conference is well-supported and the housing fees will be minimal since the centre is also subsidized by CNRS. The deadline for contributed talks and posters is 22 March, while it is 15 June for registration. Hopefully by this time the horizon will have cleared up enough to consider traveling and meeting again. Hopefully. (In which case I will miss this wonderful conference due to other meeting and teaching commitments in the Fall.)

As an on-going multilevel pun (started with my misreading a famous outdoor brand logo as a Viking helmet!), and following popular request (at least from a few participants to our Bayesian school at CIRM two years ago!), I took advantage of one of the numerous make-your-own-tee websites to create a norse farce shop(pe) for afficionadas and afficionados..!
