February 20 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ISyE Accounting Individual Cognition and Social Influence for Better Human-AI Collaboration 2188 Mechanical Engineering Building 1513 University Avenue, Madison, WI, United States Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly integrated into our lives, enabling a new paradigm of human-AI decision-making where AI provides recommendations, and humans make the final decision. However, such human-AI collaboration often yields mixed results in reality, highlighting the need to understand how humans engage with AI-based systems and optimize human-AI collaboration's effectiveness. In this... Free
February 18 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ISyE Foundations of Private Optimization for Modern Machine Learning 2188 Mechanical Engineering Building 1513 University Avenue, Madison, WI, United States How can we develop optimization algorithms for training machine learning models that preserve the privacy of individuals' training data? In this talk, I will present my work addressing this challenge through differential privacy (DP). Differential privacy offers a rigorous, quantifiable standard of privacy that limits potential leakage of training data. I will explore the fundamental... Free

Maduka, DVM, PhD 2188 Mechanical Engineering Building 1513 University Avenue, Madison, WI, United States Harnessing the Power of Immunometabolism to Engineer the Future of Medicine Chima V. Maduka, DVM, PhDAHA Postdoctoral FellowBurdick Biomaterials and Biofabrication LaboratoryUniversity of Colorado Abstract:The metabolic underpinnings of immune cells in various inflamed tissues, such as the implant microenvironment or the diseased heart, are poorly understood. For instance, polylactide (PLA) is the most widely used...
