Algorithms to Discover Interesting Patterns to Improve Intelligent Systems
Abstract
Today, intelligent systems play an important role in various domains such as for factory automation, education, the management of telecommunication networks and medical care. To build intelligent systems, high-quality data is generally required. Moreover, these systems can also yield large amounts of data such usage logs, alarm logs, images, videos, and data collected from sensors, and data received from other systems. Due to the large volumes of data, managing the data generated by intelligent systems to gain insights and improve these systems is thus a key challenge. It is also desirable to be able to extract information or models from data that are easily understandable by humans.
Based on these objectives, this talk will discuss the use of data mining algorithms for discovering interesting and useful patterns in symbolic data generated from intelligent systems. The talk will first briefly review early study on designing algorithms for identifying frequent patterns can be used for instance to identify frequent alarms or faults in telecommunication networks. Then, an overview of recent challenges and advances will be presented to identify other types of interesting patterns in more complex data. Topics that will be discussed include high utility patterns, locally interesting patterns, and periodic patterns. Lastly, the SPMF open-source software will be mentioned and opportunities related to the combination of pattern mining algorithms with traditional artificial intelligence techniques for intelligent systems will be discussed.

Title: Rethinking Fairness: New Definitions and Algorithms for Fair Machine Learning under Uncertainty
Abstract
Fairness in machine learning (ML) has drawn tremendous attention within the ML community and the broader society beyond with numerous fairness definitions and algorithms being proposed. Surprisingly, there is little work quantifying and guaranteeing fairness in the presence of uncertainty which is prevalent in many socially sensitive applications, ranging from marketing analytics to clinical prediction and recidivism prediction instruments. To this end, we rethink fairness and reveal idiosyncrasies of existing fairness literature assuming certainty on the class label that limits their real-world utility. Our primary contributions are formulating fairness under uncertainty along with a suite of corresponding new fairness definitions and algorithms. We argue that this formulation has broader applicability to practical scenarios concerning fairness. We also show how the newly devised fairness notions involving censored information and the general framework for fair predictions in the presence of censorship allow us to measure and mitigate discrimination under uncertainty that bridges the gap with real-world applications.
