Şirket Avcıları: Dünyanın En Agresif Fidye Yazılımı Saldırıları ve Gündelik Hayata Etkileri Paneli

Gözler, zihnin penceresidir ve dünyayı algılamamızda en önemli yeri tutmaktadır. Bu yüzden, göz hareketlerinin izlenmesi ve kaydedilmesi beyinde gerçekleşen süreçlerin anlaşılması için kullanılan etkin yöntemlerden biridir.

Machine learning algorithms process large amounts of data to produce accurate models. This data is usually in the form of text and images which are mostly related to or generated by humans. Privacy is a concern when such data could be linked to humans. Therefore novel methodologies and standards have been developed to address privacy concerns during the data collection, before the data is published, and when machine learning models are built. The root of privacy concerns is unfair treatment or discrimination. Recent studies have shown that machine learning models may make discriminatory decisions based on gender or race. This could be the result of biased data sets on which the models are trained, or the algorithms themselves may have inherent bias. In this talk we are going to start with privacy issues, and continue with the examples of biased/discriminatory behaviour of machine learning models together with our recent research findings on popular search platforms.

Closing the Spring semester.

This talk will cover the new and exciting field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). First, I will provide an overview of the main approaches in XAI, including feature attribution methods, decision rule learning, and inherently explainable algorithms. I will pay particular attention to XAI approaches that use mathematical optimization. Then, I will introduce a new concept called explainable-by-design. Finally, the talk will conclude with a discussion of open questions that arise in both theoretical and practical contexts.

Established in 1991, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore has grown into one of the worlds major research-intensive universities in the past three decades. Education, research and innovation form the core of the universitys mission. They are also at the heart of national priorities for Singapore. In this talk, we shall give an overview of NTU Singapores journey of transformation, together with its strategy and initiatives to stay relevant in the rapidly-changing world.

Prediction of metabolic potential of the human gut microbiome (HGM) is important for understanding of the influence of diet and HGM-generated metabolites on human health. We used the concept of metabolic phenotypes of reference HGM genomes to develop the phenotype profiler method for functional prediction of metagenomics datasets.

Kuantum mekaniği, doğayı anlamamızda temel rol oynadığı kadar özellikle transistör ve lazerler sayesinde yarım asırı geçen bir süreden beri teknolojik uygulamalarda da öncü bir durumda. Son zamanlardaysa, bilginin doğrudan kuantum kanallarıyla (örneğin ışık tanecikleri) taşınması ve kuantum sistemlerinin kontrolü sayesinde yepyeni uygulama alanlarının yolu açılmış bulunuyor. Bu alanlardan bir tanesi de, hesaplama gücümüzde bir devrime yol açacağı düşünülen kuantum bilgisayarları ve bu bilgisayarlar sayesinde çalıştırabileceğimiz kuantum algoritmaları. Sohbetimizde, kuantum mekaniği yardımıyla, nasıl telenakil ve güvenli haberleşme gerçekleştirildiğinden başlayarak, kuantum bilgisayarlarına uzanacak ve son gelişmelere değineceğiz.

In this talk, I will share our recent research results on developing interactive data visualisations to facilitate an engaged epidemiological model building process to inform public health policy-making, as well as empirical research that study the extent that visualisations support the understanding of complex models of disease dynamics, and a visualisation-based workshop to teach school kids about how to use data and simulations to understand disease spread. Through these examples, the talk will aim to highlight visualisation both as a human-centred data analysis methodology in an increasingly automated landscape, and as a lens to study interactions between people and data.

Son 50 yıldan beri dünyadaki teknolojik gelişmelere büyük ölçüde yön veren ve bu özelliği ile aslında gözüktüğünden de büyük bir ekonomik öneme sahip olan yarıiletken ve mikroelektronik teknolojileri, hızlı gelişimini günümüzde de yavaşlamadan sürdürmektedir. Sanayileşme ve onu izleyen bilişim devrimlerinin temelini oluşturan başka diğer alanlardan (örneğin malzeme bilimleri, yazılım teknolojileri, makina ve kimya mühendisliği, biyo-teknoloji, genetik, vb) farklı olarak, ortaya çıktığı günden beri üstel bir gelişim çizgisi sürdüren yarıiletken teknolojileri, bu özelliği ile şu anda dünya ekonomisinde söz sahibi olan diğer tüm alanlardan da ayrışmaktadır. Toplumların geleceklerini belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden biri, bu ve buna benzer hayatı teknolojilere sahip olunması konusunda gösterilen irade ve buna ayrılan kaynakların boyutudur. Bu konuşmanın ilk bölümünde mikroelektronik alanının son yıllarda gösterdiği gelişmeler özetlenecek, bundan sonraki dönemde beklenen ilerlemeler hakkında örnekler verilecek ve ülkemizin bu alanda neler yapabileceğinin de kısa bir analizi sunulacaktır.

Many common voice disorders are chronic or recurring conditions that involve excessive muscle activity in the vocal anatomy and physiology, referred to as vocal hyperfunction. The clinical management of hyperfunctional voice disorders would be greatly enhanced by the ability to monitor and quantify detrimental vocal behaviors during an individuals activities of daily life. This talk provides an update on ongoing work that uses a miniature accelerometer on the neck surface below the larynx to collect a large set of ambulatory data on patients with hyperfunctional voice disorders (before and after treatment) and matched-control healthy subjects.
