A Novel Statistical Approach to Analyze Image Classification
Sophie Langer, University of Twente
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) excel in image recognition, showcasing remarkable performance in face recognition, medical diagnosis, and autonomous driving. However, their reliability remains a concern due to the lack of robust theoretical foundations. Establishing a solid statistical framework is essential before we can fully analyse CNNs …

AI Interacting With People (Through Language)
Hal Daumé III, Professor, University of Maryland
I’ll discuss three projects related to understanding how people and AI-infused systems can and should interact. In the first, I’ll discuss AI communicating to people, in a shared environment, and how we can use highlighting and possible alternatives as a way to combat confabulations (aka hallucinations). In the second, I’ll discuss people …

Beyond Translation: Human-Centered NLP for Cross-Lingual Communication
Marine Carpuat, Associate Professor, University of Maryland
How can we develop NLP technology to effectively support cross-lingual communication, especially given recent progress in machine translation and multilingual language models? In this talk, I will present two main threads of work that aim to broaden the scope of machine translation to more directly support people’s needs. In the first thread, I’ll …

Additive Density-on-Scalar Regression in Bayes Hilbert Spaces With an Application to Gender Economics
Sonja Greven, HU Berlin
This talk introduces a novel approach to modeling densities influenced by scalar covariates using structured additive regression models in Bayes Hilbert spaces. This framework handles continuous, discrete, and mixed densities, ensuring nonnegativity and integration to one. An application to gender economics data explores the distribution of a …

Experimental Designs for a/B Testing in Marketplaces
Chengchun Shi, Department of Statistics, London School of Economics and Political Science
Time series experiments, in which experimental units receive a sequence of treatments over time, are frequently employed in many technological companies to evaluate the performance of a newly developed policy, product, or treatment relative to a baseline control. Many existing A/B testing solutions assume a fully observable experimental environment …
