private (DP) algorithms typically exhibit a significant dependence on the dimensionality of their input, as their error or sample complexity tends to grow polynomially with the dimension. This cost of dimensionality is inherent in many problems, as Bun, Ullman, and Vadhan (STOC 2014) showed that any method that achieves lower error rates is vulnerable to tracing attacks (also known as membership inference attacks). Unfortunately, such costs are often too high in many real-world scenarios, such as training large neural networks, where the number of parameters (the ambient dimension) is very high.<br \/><br \/>On the positive side, the lower bounds do not rule out the possibility of reducing error rates for &#8220;easy&#8221; inputs. But what constitutes &#8220;easy&#8221; inputs? And how likely is it to encounter such inputs in real-world scenarios? In this talk, I will present a few ways to quantify &#8220;input easiness&#8221; for the fundamental task of private averaging and support them with upper and lower bounds. In particular, I will show types of properties that are both sufficient and necessary for eliminating the polynomial dependency on the dimension. I will conclude by outlining future research directions and providing a broader perspective on my work. <br \/><br \/>The talk is mainly based on the following three papers:<br \/><br \/>(1) FriendlyCore <a href=\"https:\/\/eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&amp;u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_cT1odHRwczovL2FyeGl2Lm9yZy9hYnMvMjExMC4xMDEzMiZzYT1EJnNvdXJjZT1jYWxlbmRhciZ1c2Q9MiZ1c2c9QU92VmF3MHVQakNWNzhDei1YajRnaFVLNWdocw==&amp;p=m&amp;i=NjQxYjA2MDlhM2MzMGI2NDhhOWYyYTkz&amp;t=UkRFV3FXeTd1ZXhQUDNGOGxIWkg0eWNOdjlqT0ROS1cxUE41ODdReTZqdz0=&amp;h=cf577da398c6473ea91eeb278e26862c&amp;s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVbeIfsz7SN2S31ltAh1fk8XGsTH4qTKIUC8r8jjHbEzz-8xinh7uQoXABX3jwP2M0fo09F5IqK7Jf_CoOdwL0bW\">https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2110.10132<\/a> (joint with Edith Cohen, Haim Kaplan, Yishay Mansour, and Uri Stemmer, ICML 2022), <br \/><br \/>(2) <a href=\"https:\/\/eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&amp;u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_cT1odHRwczovL2FyeGl2Lm9yZy9hYnMvMjMwNy4wNzYwNCZzYT1EJnNvdXJjZT1jYWxlbmRhciZ1c2Q9MiZ1c2c9QU92VmF3MG9XdjlCeHJQVm9GRE43UThCQ2w1cA==&amp;p=m&amp;i=NjQxYjA2MDlhM2MzMGI2NDhhOWYyYTkz&amp;t=MTJwUlV6LzZwZEN2TTVDckloV1NsWkNRZ0N5K3FHUnRNVGNjZXg3aTFsdz0=&amp;h=cf577da398c6473ea91eeb278e26862c&amp;s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVbeIfsz7SN2S31ltAh1fk8XGsTH4qTKIUC8r8jjHbEzz-8xinh7uQoXABX3jwP2M0fo09F5IqK7Jf_CoOdwL0bW\">https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2307.07604<\/a> (joint with Naty Peter and Jonathan Ullman, COLT 2024),<br \/><br \/>(3) <a href=\"https:\/\/eu-central-1.protection.sophos.com?d=google.com&amp;u=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS91cmw_cT1odHRwczovL2FyeGl2Lm9yZy9hYnMvMjQwMi4wNjQ2NSZzYT1EJnNvdXJjZT1jYWxlbmRhciZ1c2Q9MiZ1c2c9QU92VmF3MGN1aV9xY0hzeGczYzQ5Smw3RC0zbA==&amp;p=m&amp;i=NjQxYjA2MDlhM2MzMGI2NDhhOWYyYTkz&amp;t=OUxEa0IyT2RockhsdTBTZnl0R3BybWJoUmVQdXBydU1RZTBCakdGS1dYZz0=&amp;h=cf577da398c6473ea91eeb278e26862c&amp;s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVbeIfsz7SN2S31ltAh1fk8XGsTH4qTKIUC8r8jjHbEzz-8xinh7uQoXABX3jwP2M0fo09F5IqK7Jf_CoOdwL0bW\">https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2402.06465<\/a> (NeurIPS 2024)<br \/><strong><br \/><u>Bio<\/u><br \/><\/strong>Eliad Tsfadia is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Georgetown University, hosted by Prof. Kobbi Nissim.

Yet, interpreting and grounding abstraction expressed in natural language has not yet been systematically studied in NLP. In this talk, I present our recent work on setting the foundation for a systematic study of processing and grounding abstraction in natural language, and in particular, computational abstraction that hinges on human perception and cognition. First, I draw an explicit link between human language communication and computational thinking skills. Next I present a novel elicitation method we devised via Hexagons, a 2D instruction-following game, and a crowdsourced benchmark we collected based on it, with over 4k naturally-occurring visually-grounded instructions, rich and diverse in their levels of abstraction. Our experiments with these data show that contemporary models and modelling practices are substantially inferior to human performance, and that, crucially, models&#8217; performance is inversely correlated with the level of abstraction, with less satisfying performance at the higher abstraction levels. These findings are consistent across models and setups, confirming that NL phenomena which involve abstraction present a challenging domain of investigation, deserving further attention in NLP\/AI research in the quest for more human-like human-computer interaction.<br \/><strong><br \/><u>Bio<\/u><br \/><\/strong>Reut Tsarfaty is a Professor at Bar-llan University leading the Open Natural Language Processing research lab (The ONLP Lab), and a visiting Professor at Google Research.

In this paper, we introduce BRICC, a first-in-class initiative that seeks to mitigate medical bisinformation using machine learning to systematically identify and flag text with potential biases, for subsequent review in an expert-in-the-loop fashion, thus greatly accelerating an otherwise labor-intensive process. A gold-standard BRICC dataset was developed throughout several years, and contains over 12K pages of instructional materials. Medical experts meticulously annotated these documents for bias according to comprehensive coding guidelines, emphasizing gender, sex, age, geography, ethnicity, and race. Using this labeled dataset, we trained, validated, and tested medical bias classifiers. We test three classifier approaches: a binary type-specific classifier, a general bias classifier; an ensemble combining bias type-specific classifiers independently-trained; and a multi-task learning (MTL) model tasked with predicting both general and type-specific biases. While MTL led to some improvement on race bias detection in terms of F1-score, it did not outperform binary classifiers trained specifically on each task. On general bias detection, the binary classifier achieves up to 0.923 of AUC, a 27.8% improvement over the baseline. This work lays the foundations for debiasing medical curricula by exploring a novel dataset and evaluating different training model strategies, offering new pathways for more nuanced and effective mitigation of bisinformation.<\/p><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e84bf57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInUp\" data-id=\"e84bf57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dr. Shiri Dori-Hacohen, University of Connecticut<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b5270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"f5b5270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Dr. Shiri Dori-Hacohen is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computing at the University of Connecticut, where she leads the Reducing Information Ecosystem Threats (RIET) Lab.

Recent advances in deep learning methods, using pre-trained language models, were proposed for resolving entity matching. Although demonstrating unprecedented results, these solutions suffer from a major drawback as they require large amounts of labeled data for training, and, as such, are inadequate to be applied to low resource entity matching problems. To overcome the challenge of obtaining sufficient labeled data we offer a new active learning approach, focusing on a selection mechanism that exploits unique properties of entity matching. We argue that a distributed representation of a tuple pair indicates its informativeness when considered among other pairs. This is used consequently in our approach that iteratively utilizes space-aware considerations. Bringing it all together, we treat the low resource entity matching problem as a Battleship game, hunting indicative samples, focusing on positive ones, through awareness of the latent space along with careful planning of next sampling iterations. An extensive experimental analysis shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art active learning solutions to low resource entity matching, and although using less samples, can be as successful as state-of-the-art fully trained known algorithms.<\/p><p>This is a joint work with Bar Genossar (Technion) and Roee Shraga (WPI) and will be presented in SIGMOD\u20192024.<\/p><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e84bf57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInUp\" data-id=\"e84bf57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prof. Avigdor Gal<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b5270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"f5b5270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Avigdor Gal is the Benjamin and Florence Free Chaired Professor of Data Science and the Co-chair of the Center for Humanities &amp; AI at the Technion \u2013 Israel Institute of Technology.

Indeed, graph databases are used in a plethora of domains ranging from social to biological networks, and for various use-cases including fraud detection and investigating journalism. Since 2019, GQL (Graph Query Language) is being developed under the auspices of ISO as the new standard for querying graph databases, akin to SQL for relational databases. In this talk, I will present a researcher&#8217;s digest of GQL by describing its underlying theoretical model. I will demonstrate how we can use tools from formal language and automata theory to show the limitations of this new standard, which can hint at extensions for its next versions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2102212 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"2102212\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a357da\" data-id=\"3a357da\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b5270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"f5b5270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>This talk is based on joint works with Nadime Francis, Am\u00e9lie Gheerbrant, Paolo Guagliardo, Leonid Libkin, Victor Marsault , Wim Martens, Filip Murlak,\u00a0 Alexandra Rogova, and Domagoj Vrgo\u00e7.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1046\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1046\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Computer Science Colloquium -

Two such problems are (i) not having all attributes required for analysis, and (ii) misidentifying which attributes are to be included in the analysis. Analysts often only have access to partial data, and they critically rely on (often unavailable or incomplete) domain knowledge to identify attributes to include for analysis, which is often given in the form of a causal DAG. We argue that data management techniques can surmount both of these challenges. In this work, we introduce the Causal Data Integration (CDI) problem and discuss our proposed solution, which includes developing techniques to integrate input datasets with unobserved potential confounding variables, and causal DAG summarization.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2102212 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"2102212\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a357da\" data-id=\"3a357da\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e84bf57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInUp\" data-id=\"e84bf57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Prof. Brit Youngmann<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b5270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"f5b5270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Brit Youngmann is an Assistant Professor at the Technion\u2019s Faculty of Computer Science.

The transition to transformer-based models allows us to train models on vast amounts of text efficiently, proving that scale plays a crucial role in improving performance. Unfortunately, many people worldwide are marginalised from getting access to high-quality NLP models, as the language they speak and the domains they are interested in count for only a tiny fraction of current state-of-the-art models\u2019 training sets.<\/p><p>This talk will address the challenges, approaches, and opportunities for democratising NLP across different languages and domains by developing methods to improve NLP in low-resource scenarios. I will start by discussing how we can ease distribution mismatches to improve performance using representation learning. However, as NLP models become increasingly present in our lives, improving other crucial aspects beyond their performance, such as their fairness, factuality, and our ability to understand their underlying mechanisms, is essential. Therefore, I will also discuss using spectral methods to remove information from neural networks to reduce undesired attributes, such as bias, to increase fairness where sensitive data is scarce. Finally, I will explore future directions for making these models accessible toa broader audience by improving the aspects mentioned above in low-resource scenarios.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2102212 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" data-id=\"2102212\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a357da\" data-id=\"3a357da\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e84bf57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading animated fadeInUp\" data-id=\"e84bf57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dr. Yftah Ziser<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5b5270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor animated fadeIn\" data-id=\"f5b5270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>Yftah Ziser is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Informatics at Edinburgh University, hosted by Shay Cohen.

However, to fulfil thispromise, methods have to a) provide an explicit human-readable form of themodelled relations and b) extrapolate well to unseen cases from only a fewexpensive data points. Modern deep learning systems, while producing impressiveresul<wbr \/>ts in some areas, are fundamentally unsuited to meet these tworequirements<wbr \/>, as they rely on vast quantities of parameters that interact in complicatedways and that need to be fitted using equally vast amounts of training data. Incontrast, additive models of simple basis functions can provide not only veryaccurate predictions for important scientific questions, they are also readilyundersta<wbr \/>ndable and testable akin to traditional empirical laws. I willdemonstrate this using three examples of my applied work in chemistry andmaterials science: modelling propagation rates in radical polymerisation,<wbr \/>morphological outcomes of polymer-induced self-assemblies<wbr \/>, and crystalstructur<wbr \/>e affinity of octet binary semi-conductors<wbr \/>. Motivated by thesesuccesses, I will then discuss some recent methodological work on statisticaland algorithmic challenges in producing such trustworthy and informativemode<wbr \/>ls.

The Haifa Data Science Summer School provides an overview of the variety of tools employed in machine learning. The course is aimed for students from diverse disciplines, with no prior experience using Machine-learning, and with a minimal experience in programming.<br \/>Our aim is to give each student enough theoretical and practical background to allow them to apply a wide range of ML techniques in their own work. Topics we will cover include exploratory data analysis, supervised learning (regression and classification, neural networks) and unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction). For each topic, we start from an introduction, then discuss its uses, strengths, and limitations, then dedicate time for hands-on experience. Special attention will be devoted on<br \/>applying the methodologies introduced in class on empirical data using Jupyter notebooks coded in Python, with the machine-learning package \u2018Scikit-learn\u2019 (https:\/\/scikit-learn.org\/ ).<br \/>It is an intense 8-day course (8:30am-6:30pm daily), with a final project. Students are expected to attend to all the meetings. Basic Python programming is a required. There will be a 4-hour prep meeting for students who wish to brush up on their Python skills, and we will also share some recommended online sources. Upon completion of the course requirements, registered students will be credited 3 academic points. The course will be given in English.<br \/>The course is open to 50 advanced (MSc and PhD) students, postdocs and research scientists from the university of Haifa and affiliated institutes (e.g. Oranim). Advanced undergraduate students are also welcome to apply and will be accepted based on free space. Participants credit are required to register and to submit a final course project taking the course for academic\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10413\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10413\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">New Methods in Dog Behavior Analysis International Workshop - September 12th 2023<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10413\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"13\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10413\"><h5>September12th, 2023, 09:00-19:30<\/h5><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y8lewRsb7p0\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y8lewRsb7p0<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>The development of objective tools to identify and code facial and body movements in non-human species, as well as recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, offer exciting new opportunities for the investigation of dog behavior, as well as for the development of novel applications related to dog welfare, wellbeing and health.

Drosophila melanogaster has long been served as an excellent model system for revealing the neural basis of behavior, due to the relative simplicity of this system, and the wide range of available genetic tools in this model. Recent advances in the field of machine learning are accelerating our understanding of the neural basis of social behavior in flies in two major directions. First, pose estimation is used for fine tracking of body parts of single or interacting flies, followed up by supervised and unsupervised algorithms for detailed and automated quantification of fly behaviors. Second, neural networks are being used for automatic detection of neurons in sub-micron resolution scans of the entire fly brain, therefore accelerating the process of building a fly \u2018connectome\u2019 \u2013 a description of all the connections between cells in adult or developing fly brains.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">In my talk, I will first give some background on the use of machine learning based tools for studying the neural basis of social behaviors in flies. I will then describe two projects I completed during my post-doc, focusing on two aspects of social behaviors in flies: (1) sexual dimorphism in the circuits controlling social behaviors, and (2) the role of \u2018internal\u2019 brain states in controlling social decisions.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Last, I will describe some future directions of my recently established lab at the Neurobiology department, University of Haifa. Among them are deciphering the neural basis of social communication in complex, natural-like environments, and using the fly connectome for revealing principals regarding how the structure and connectivity of cells is related to their function.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Bio:<\/b><\/p><p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">David (Dudi) Deutsch received his B.Sc in electrical engineering from Tel-Aviv University in 2005. His M.Sc (direct path for outstanding students) was joint between Tel-Aviv university and the Weizmann Institute, focusing on electrostatic properties of adsorbed polar molecules. Following one year of travel in South America, he decided to move his scientific focus to understanding the mysteries of the brain. He joined the Neurobiology department at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he did his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Ehud Ahissar and Prof. Elad Schneidman. He studied how brains are actively controlling the flow of information that they collect from their environment (\u2018active sensing\u2019), using the rat whisker system as a model.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Transitioning to his post-doctoral studies, he switched to studying the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, taking advantage of the tractability of the system, and the available genetic tools. In 2014 he joined the Murthy lab at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. He studied social communication in males and females, focusing on two major questions: (1) What are the shared and sexually dimorphic circuits for the processing of courtship song in the male and female brains, and (2) How do internal motivational states modulate social behavior. Dudi opens his lab in the Neurobiology department at the University of Haifa in 2022, where he will study the neural basis of social communication.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10422\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"22\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10422\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Student Meetup With Road2 - April 19, 2023<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10422\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"22\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10422\"><div dir=\"ltr\"><h5>April 19th, 2023, 11:00-13:00<\/h5><p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Mr. Yaakov Diminsky<\/span><span class=\"S1PPyQ\"><br \/><\/span><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Calendar &#8211; Digital health startup<br \/><\/span>Eyal Enav<\/p><h5><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rWb0-THuKCXXGScAVy944thvLKQZ-nh4\/view?usp=share_link\">For more information and registration &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/h5><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dsrc.haifa.ac.il\/?page_id=5826\">Photos&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10423\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"23\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10423\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Students Community Workshop - Integrating Academia with Industry - March 20, 2023<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10423\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"23\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10423\"><div dir=\"ltr\"><h5>March 20th, 2023, 10:00-14:00<\/h5><p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #000000;\">Prof. Mor Peleg, Prof. Ilan Shimshoni, Prof. Einat Minkov, Dr. Itai Dattner, Dr. Dan Rosenbaum, Marcelo Feighelstein &amp; Nir Lotan<\/span><\/p><h5><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1CQfAy6CYk6XQNVCeX8U5-dWDKUIshW_O\/view?usp=share_link\">For more information and registration &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/h5><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10424\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"24\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10424\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From genomes to metabolism workshop - January 29th - February 8, 2023<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10424\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"24\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10424\"><p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Understanding how metabolism works in cells, organisms or ecosystems is a highly interdisciplinary and complex task. Metabolic networks first need to be reconstructed, for example through automatic annotation of genome sequences. The resulting draft networks are curated, and can then be interrogated directly or used to interpret experimental evidence, for example transcriptomic, proteomic or metabolomics results. In this workshop, we will teach the fundamentals of genome sequencing and annotation, metabolic reconstruction and metabolic modeling, as well as approaches to analyze experimental results in light of cellular metabolism. The workshop includes 5 days of lectures and handson tutorials, using primarily the BioCyc platform (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/biocyc.org\/\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">https:\/\/biocyc.org\/<\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle0\">).

In recent years that paradigm has been extended in multiple respects through the<br \/>development of additional inference tools to extract additional information from the genome:<br \/>metabolic reconstruction techniques predict the qualitative metabolic network of the organism, and<br \/>generate a quantitative metabolic model for the organism. Pathway hole filling and reaction gap<br \/>filling identify genes coding for missing pathway enzymes, and identify missing metabolic reactions.<br \/>We also present tools for inferring transport reactions and protein complexes.<\/p><p>The preceding inference tools are available within the Pathway Tools software suite, and can be<br \/>applied to any newly sequenced genome. We have processed 20,000 genomes using these tools to<br \/>create the BioCyc collection of Pathway\/Genome Databases. The BioCyc website provides an extensive<br \/>set of bioinformatics tools for searching and analyzing these databases, and leveraging them for<br \/>analysis of omics datasets. Genome-related tools include a genome browser, sequence searching and<br \/>alignment, and extraction of sequence regions. Pathway-related tools include pathway diagrams, a<br \/>tool for navigating zoomable organism-specific metabolic map diagrams, and a tool for searching for<br \/>metabolic routes that connect metabolites of interest. Regulation tools depict operons and regulatory<br \/>sites, as well as showing full organism regulatory networks. Comparative analysis tools enable<br \/>comparisons of genome organization, of orthologs, and of pathway complements. Omics data analysis<br \/>tools support enrichment analysis and painting of transcriptomics and metabolomics data onto<br \/>individual pathway diagrams and onto zoomable metabolic map diagrams. A new Omics Dashboard<br \/>tool enables interactive exploration of omics datasets through a hierarchy of cellular systems.<\/p><p><b>Bio:\u00a0<br \/><\/b>Peter D.

One important facet of bilingual language processing are cross<br \/>language influences (CLI), namely when processing of one language is modulated by<br \/>knowledge of another language. In this talk, we will present three studies focusing on<br \/>how bilinguals process words that share form and meaning (cognates) across the two<br \/>languages. The first study used methods of corpus analyses and demonstrated that the<br \/>native language of bilinguals using English can be identified based on their use of<br \/>cognates with their native language (Rabinovich et al., 2018). The second study used<br \/>psycholinguistic lab methods and found robust CLI from Arabic and\/or Hebrew when<br \/>bilinguals and trilinguals processed their non-native language, English (Elias et al., in<br \/>prep.; Schreiber, 2021). Finally, the third study is a joint effort using computational tools<br \/>to investigate a psycholinguistic question: Namely, are effects of CLI attenuated with<br \/>growing proficiency in the L2 (Native et al., under review)? We will discuss the added<br \/>value of using complementary research methods, and the benefits of collaboration.<\/p><p><b>Bio:\u00a0<br \/><\/b>Shuly Wintner is professor of computer science at the University of Haifa, Israel.

Social structure is also instrumental to understanding of disease and cultural transmission, and the evolution of cooperation. Recent studies of animal sociality found multiple factors affecting social structure, but most of them used static social networks, ignoring temporal dynamics. I will describe a study of the environmental, individual, genetic, and structural factors that influence social network dynamics in spotted hyenas over 20 years, the largest such analysis to date. This study demonstrates that topological factors constrain the network dynamics, suggesting that some network structures are more stable than others. Next, I will present a general model of the dynamics of animal social networks, based on demographic stochasticity and social inheritance. This model can reconstruct the observed networks of multiple species. The model also suggests that heritability of social traits, and assortativity, the tendency to connect to similar individuals, can be explained as byproducts of social inheritance. Taken together, my results demonstrate the importance of clustering to the stability of social structure, and promote the move from observing patterns to understanding processes of animal sociality.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Short Bio:<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"JsGRdQ\">Amiyaal Ilany grew up in the Arava Valley.

Hyperspectral airborne sensors e.g. AVIRIS, together with active sensors such as light detection and ranging (LIDAR), Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) have shown benefits for uniquely challenging problems in Geoscience. The developments in Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology introduce advances in sensor performance and miniaturization. These systems are capable of carrying multispectral, high spatial resolution spectrometers, LiDAR, and thermal sensors. UAS products have the potential to determine initial and extended fire impacts and offer land managers options for high spatial and temporal pattern recognition and anomaly detection.<\/p><p>Consequently, these big data (multi-sensor spectral data) can no longer be analyzed by any of the conventional methods. Geosciences need to process large and rapidly increasing amounts of data to provide more accurate, less uncertain, and physically consistent inferences in the form of prediction, modeling, and understanding the complex Earth system. To get the most out of the rapid growth and diversity of Earth system data, we face two major tasks in the coming years: extracting knowledge from the data, and deriving models that learn much more from data than traditional data assimilation approaches. Advanced machine learning (ML) proposes methods that optimize their performance iteratively by learning from the data. These approaches demand detailed information, thus spectral reduction is not necessary and even undesirable. Such methods can be predictive or distinguish between different classes or patterns. Among the main subsets of ML, applications of genetic and biological programming in the geoscience and remote sensing domain are very new and restricted to a few areas.<\/p><p>Multi-source, multi-scale, high-dimensional, complex Spatio-temporal relations, including non-trivial and long-distance relationships between variables. The increasing demand for probability models, which are more advanced classifiers, has been met with alternatives: Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) 5, Support Vector Machines 6, Wavelet Analysis, Logistic Regression, and decision trees, as classifiers for high dimensional data. ML techniques and recently established deep learning (DL) models have been proposed for spatial, spectral, and temporal imaging data classification. Deep learning is well-positioned to address the multi-source, multi-scale, high-dimensional, complex data challenges, and network architectures, and developed algorithms produce approaches that address both spatial-spectral and temporal context at different scales.<\/p><p>Convolutional neural networks (CNN), at the front of the current state-of-the-art in DL, first achieved successes in the field of image recognition and classification. The retrieval algorithms are actively underway in the field of supervised DL. ML in general and DL in particular offer promising tools to build new data-driven models for components of the Earth system and thus to build our understanding of Earth. Data-driven ML approaches to geoscientific research will not replace physical modeling but strongly complement and enrich it. Thus hybrid modeling approach, coupling physical process models with the versatility of data-driven ML should be our next step.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Short Bio<\/span>:<br \/>Anna\u00a0Brook is\u00a0the head of the Spectroscopy and Remote Sensing Laboratory at the department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Haifa.

Patterns of change in emotions during treatment for depression<\/p><p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders and the leading cause of disability worldwide. One of the leading theoretical models to understand the mechanisms underlying symptoms of depression suggests that the emotional impairment observed in depression results from emotional avoidance. From this perspective, to be modified, negative emotions should first be expressed. Most psychological treatment modalities incorporate interventions aimed at reducing emotional avoidance and increasing the experience and expression of emotions in adaptive ways. However, scant attention has been paid to how emotions are modified during psychological treatment.<br \/>In this talk, I will present a study in which we used automatic facial recognition tools and advanced statistical methods to explore whether targeting emotional avoidance during psychological treatment can change the way emotions are experienced and expressed by patients diagnosed with depression.<\/p><p><strong>Short Bio:<\/strong> <a id=\"Hadar\"><\/a>Dr. Hadar Fisher\u00a0is a licensed clinical psychologist\u00a0and a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Statistics and the Department of Psychology at the University of Haifa.

For example, on the skin or exoskeleton, in guts, or even within a cell. These microbes sometimes provide vital functions essential for host survival or influence host behaviors. How a microbes\u2019 community (or microbiome) is maintained and what its impact on a group-living animal is an open question. Ants are group-living social insects whose colony size could be determined by genetic mechanisms, therefore suitable to untangle intricate microbe-host interactions in various group sizes. In the first part of this talk, I will introduce how we used bioinformatic analysis on genomic data to uncover a tightly-link relationship between intracellular bacteria and its host ant across Southeast and East Asia. Next, I extend my research on microbial metacommunity in ants between different social behaviors to understand their relationships. I will discuss future research on microbiome-host interactions in the last part of the talk.<\/p><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p><p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong>\u00a0Prof. Daphne Raban<br \/>(Associate professor in the School of Business Administration and Academic Head of the Library, University of Haifa)<br \/>Lina Portnoy<br \/>(Doctoral candidate at the School of Business Administration, University of Haifa)<br \/><strong><br \/>Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Self-Presentation in Online Marketplaces<\/p><p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0Prior research has shown that social interaction is important for information exchange online.

Thus, elucidating the predictive power of patients&#8217; expectancy provides a means for optimizing treatment efficacy. However, the mechanisms by which expectancies exert their effect are poorly understood &#8211; as well as their dynamic nature over the course of treatment. Moreover, conventional statistical methods are not sufficient to fully explore these dynamics.<\/p><p>In this talk, I will first present the goal of this project: to apply advanced data science tools on a uniquely rich and dynamic dataset of a 16-session psychotherapy treatment in depressed patients, in order to understand how expectancy changes the course of treatment both behaviorally\u00a0and physiologically &#8211; and for whom. Then, I will present the steps we took to elucidate the unexplored dynamics of expectancy&#8217;s\u00a0effect on treatment outcome, as the grounds to study its mechanisms. Finally, I wish to discuss the next steps we plan to take, as well as the challenges and the opportunities in this link between data science and clinical psychology.<\/p><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Nehama Lewis-Persky, Department of Communication, University of Haifa<\/p><p><strong>Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Merging data science with behavioral science to predict and influence individual health behavior at scale: Opportunity, Obstacles and Ethics\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0The talk outlines how theories of behavior change, information processing, and persuasion can be used together with AI to influence individual health behaviors at scale. Behavioral science offers validated concepts and models that can be used to understand and influence attitudes and behavior, but is often tested in narrow academic contexts. In contrast, data-driven models can be used to predict behavior with increasing accuracy, but do not tell us\u00a0<em>why<\/em>\u00a0people decide to perform a behavior, or the decision factors that might influence this. By combining both approaches, it is possible to understand, predict, and influence individual behavior at scale. However, this approach also raises critical\u00a0questions and concerns about the ethics of influence, particularly in the context of health.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10446\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"46\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10446\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">MLIS-TCE CONFERENCE - AI: From Hype to Productivity - 24.2.2022<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10446\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"46\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10446\"><p>Join us to the Annual Symposium of MLIS\u2013 the Technion AI center and TCE Center, on February 24, 2022, at ELMA Arts Complex [Zichron Ya\u2019acov].

Biomass as a metric allows us to compare species with very different body sizes, and can serve as an indicator of wild mammal presence on a global scale. We compiled estimates of the total abundance of several hundred mammal species (i.e., the number of individuals) from the available data, and used these estimates to build a model that infers the total biomass of terrestrial mammal species for which the global abundance is unknown. Here, we present a thorough assessment, arriving at a total wet biomass of \u224826 million metric tons (\u224826 Mt) for all terrestrial wild mammals, the equivalent of about 3 kg per person on earth. The primary contributor to the biomass of wild land mammals is the white-tailed deer, followed by the wild boar, African elephant and eastern\u00a0grey\u00a0kangaroo. We find that even-hoofed mammals (such as deer and boars) represent \u224845% of the combined mass of terrestrial wild mammals. In addition, we estimate the total biomass of wild marine mammals at \u224847 Mt, with baleen whales comprising \u224860% of the mass of marine mammals. In order to put wild mammal biomass into perspective, we additionally estimate the remaining members of the class Mammalia. The total mammal biomass is dominated by livestock (\u2248630 Mt) and humans (\u2248390 Mt). This work is a provisional census of wild mammal biomass on Earth, and can serve as a benchmark for human impacts.<\/p><p><strong><br \/>Speaker:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dsrc.haifa.ac.il\/index.php\/component\/content\/article\/94-events\/past-events\/213-dsrc-monthly-colloquium-november-22nd-14-15-15-45-via-zoom#Shlomit\">Dr. Shlomit Sharoni<\/a>, postdoc at the University of Haifa.<\/p><p><strong>Title:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Elucidating phytoplankton physiological performance in the ocean<\/p><p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong><br \/>Phytoplankton are unicellular, drifting microorganisms that form the base of the marine food web. Their activity contributes ~50% of the global annual net primary productivity. Phytoplankton growth depends on nutrient availability. However, nutrients in the marine environment are often scarce, particularly in the open ocean. Thus, a major open question is whether phytoplankton communities in the ocean mostly experience nutrient stress or are well adapted to prevailing conditions. These contrasting physiological states affect the elemental composition of phytoplankton cells. To differentiate between these two alternate scenarios, we thus used observational datasets on phytoplankton elemental ratios and a model of phytoplankton physiology. We find that on average, phytoplankton are well adapted to their environment, even in nutrient poor regions, likely due of recurrent selection of the most fitted genotype. This mechanism involving shifts in phytoplankton communities likely sustains an effective flow of matter and energy through biogeochemical pathways.<\/p><p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p><p><strong><a id=\"Lior\"><\/a>Lior Greenspoony<\/strong>, The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Weitzman Institute.<\/p><p>Lior Greenspoon is a PhD student at Ron Milos&#8217; lab the Weitzman Institute, at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences.

Organized by a multidisciplinary committee that included The University of Haifa&#8217;s Data Science Research Center and the Cyber Law and Policy Center, the Innovation Authority, and Microsoft Israel, Israel\u2019s research community was invited to offer insights to help solve COVID-19 policy challenges. The Datathon was designed to develop operationalizable data-driven models to address COVID-19 health policy challenges. Specific relevant challenges were defined and diverse, reliable, up-to-date, deidentified governmental datasets were extracted and tested. Secure remote-access research environments were established. Registration was open to all citizens. Around a third of the applicants were accepted, and they were teamed to balance areas of expertise and represent all sectors of the community. Anonymous surveys for participants and mentors were distributed to assess usefulness and points for improvement and retention for future datathons. The Data-thon included 18 multidisciplinary teams (78 participants), mentored by 20 data scientists, 6 epidemiologists, 5 presentation mentors, and 12 judges. The insights developed by the three winning teams are currently considered by the MoH as potential data science methods relevant for national poli-cies. Based on participants\u2019 feedback, the process for future data-driven regulatory responses for health crises was improved. Participants expressed increased trust in the MoH and readiness to work with the government on these or future projects.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Speaker:<\/strong>\u00a0Prof. Uri Hershberg (University of Haifa)<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Title:<\/strong>\u00a0The Artathon &#8211;\u00a0Finding new Ways to accurately visualize complex biological data<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Abstract:<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><br \/><\/strong>The study of biology is at a turning point. Novel experimental methods make possible high-throughput imaging and molecular measurement at the single cell and single molecule level over thousands and millions of cells. Along with the great promise these technologies bring, they also call for new approaches to catalyze the assimilation of this overwhelming wealth of data. With new tools to measure biological dynamics and diversity new questions arise. Questions of process that take into account changes in individual molecules in the context of cell behavior and changes in individual cells in the context of systemic responses to physiological change. However, to even start to define these questions we need new ways to look at the data in its full richness. We need to visualize what we have measured. For the last 3 years in Philadelphia and Haifa (and now Porto) we have\u00a0invited biology, computer science and design students to form interdisciplinary groups that together created new methods for the visualization of the changes in individually characterized Immune cell populations (<a style=\"color: #0e76bc; transition: color 400ms ease 0s, background-color 400ms ease 0s; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\" href=\"http:\/\/artathon.stochasticity.org\/\">http:\/\/artathon.stochasticity.org<\/a>).<br \/>Our focus throughout has been to visualize B cell receptor (antibody) populations that can number in the millions for a single experiments.\u00a0This is a special case of the more general question &#8211; How can we visualize millions of individuals?

Communications, University of Lancaster)<\/p><p>Data science is the science of extracting meaning from potentially complex data. This is a fast moving field, drawing principles and techniques from a number of different disciplinary areas including computer science, statistics and complexity science. Data science is having a profound impact on a number of areas including commerce, health and smart cities. This will argue that data science can have an equal if not greater impact in the area of earth and environmental sciences, offering a rich tapestry of new techniques to support both a deeper understanding of the natural environment in all its complexities, as well as the development of well-founded mitigation and adaptation strategies in the face of climate change. In the talk, I will argue that data science for the natural environment brings about new challenges for data science, particularly around complexity, spatial and temporal reasoning, and managing uncertainty. I will conclude with a research roadmap highlighting ten top challenges of environmental data science and also an invitation to become part of an international community working collaboratively on these problems.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">14:40-14:55: Questions<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">14:55-15:20:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Harnessing eco-informatics to improve our understanding of ecological patterns and processes<br \/><\/strong>Dr. Avi Bar-Massada (Department of Biology &amp; Environment, University of Haifa)<\/p><p>Ecology strives to understand the interactions among species and their abiotic environment. A fundamental ecological question is what drives the geographic distribution of species, and to what extent these distributions are affected by biotic interactions and the abiotic environment. These questions are typically answered using species distribution models, which require large amounts of data on species occurrence locations as well as the environmental conditions in them. Such data requirements raise several challenges related to data acquisition and data analysis. Specifically, how can we improve data acquisition and data quality, and how can we analyze ever-increasing amounts of data without losing sight of the basic ecological principles that govern distribution patterns. These challenges are central to the emerging field of eco-informatics. In this presentation I will outline these issues, and exemplify, using three studies, the potential of data-science methods to enhance data collection, data analysis, and the ecological insights we derive from data. The first study deals with the automated classification of species occurrence in sites from data collected in the field. The second study presents a method to improve the predictive accuracy of species distribution models by the incorporation of data on multiple species at once. Finally, the third study reveals how environmental gradients drive species co-occurrence patterns across broad spatial extents. Together, these three examples highlight the potential of collecting and utilizing large ecological datasets in order to better understand ecological patterns and processes in a changing world.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">15:20-15:27: Questions<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">15:27-15:53:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">GIScience integrated with computer vision for spatial examination of old visual sources<\/strong><br \/>Dr. Motti Zohar (Department of Geography &amp; Environmental Studies, University of Haifa)<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Landscape reconstructions and deep maps are two major approaches in cultural heritage studies. In general, they require the use of historical visual sources such as maps, graphic artworks, and photographs presenting areal scenes and views, from which one can extract important spatial information. However, photographs, the most accurate and reliable source for scenery reconstruction, are available only from the second half of the 19th century onward. Thus, for earlier periods one can rely only on old artworks. Nevertheless, the accuracy and inclusiveness of old artworks are often questionable and must be verified carefully. In this talk, the use of GIScience methods with computer-vision capabilities to interrogate old engravings and drawings is presented. The developed approach is demonstrated using old depictions of Jerusalem that were created between the 17th and 19th centuries.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">15:53-16:00 Questions<\/p><\/div><div style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10462\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"62\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10462\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">DSRC Colloquium - March 22nd, 2021 - Modelling & Forecasting of Complex Systems in the Era of AI <br> Prof. Alexander Broadbent | Dr. Peter Dueben<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10462\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"62\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10462\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><a style=\"color: #0e76bc; transition: color 400ms ease 0s, background-color 400ms ease 0s; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/rec\/play\/Ka0XJPAzQmvbBdbgLv-YImoKXHrf_L0KkqPvqsfGrUnM4-R6a0XD81rhZ_A-17JfWv_1MqCbYUUmz-Y8.Subvz71WMMs2qTFA?continueMode=true&amp;_x_zm_rtaid=c5lYT9FaREWi_U2tbSLR9g.1616677908324.fe5426885fa9364197a9d1768e10b872&amp;_x_zm_rhtaid=793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Zoom Meeting Recording<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Speaker:<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>Prof. Alexander Broadbent\u00a0(Institute for the Future of Knowledge, University of Johannesburg)<\/p><p><b>Title:<\/b><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>Can robots do epidemiology? Machine learning, causal inference, and predicting the outcomes of public health interventions<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Abstract:<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>This paper argues that\u00a0machine learning (ML) and epidemiology are on collision course over causation. The\u00a0discipline of epidemiology lays great emphasis on causation, while ML research\u00a0does not. Some\u00a0epidemiologists have proposed imposing what amounts to a\u00a0causal\u00a0constraint\u00a0on ML in epidemiology,\u00a0requiring it either to engage in causal\u00a0inference or restrict itself to mere projection. We whittle down the issues\u00a0to\u00a0the question of whether causal knowledge is necessary for underwriting\u00a0predictions about the outcomes of\u00a0public health interventions. While there is\u00a0great plausibility to the idea that it is, conviction that something is\u00a0impossible does not by itself motivate a constraint to forbid trying. We disambiguate\u00a0the possible motivations\u00a0for such a constraint into definitional, metaphysical,\u00a0epistemological, and pragmatic considerations, and argue\u00a0that \u201cTry it and see\u201d\u00a0is the outcome of each. We then argue that there are positive reasons to try,\u00a0arising from\u00a0the possibility of discovering meaningful new concepts of\u00a0epidemiological and public health importance.\u00a0Formal causal inference enforces\u00a0existing classification schema prior to the testing of associational claims\u00a0(causal or otherwise), but associations and classification schema are more\u00a0plausibly discovered (rather than\u00a0tested or justified) in a back-and-forth\u00a0process of gaining reflective equilibrium. ML instantiates this kind of\u00a0process, we argue, and thus offers the welcome prospect of uncovering\u00a0meaningful new concepts in\u00a0epidemiology and public health\u2014provided it is not\u00a0causally constrained.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><a style=\"color: #0e76bc; transition: color 400ms ease 0s, background-color 400ms ease 0s; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1bF71u2BSwKMbk4rI2j0pxdO_yC2kujf7\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A link to the paper<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/p><\/div><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><p><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Speaker:<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>Dr. Peter Dueben\u00a0(Royal Society Research Fellow at the European Weather Center, ECMWF)<\/p><p><b>Title:<\/b><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>Machine learning for numerical weather prediction<\/p><p><b>Abstract:<\/b><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/strong>The talk outlines how machine learning, and in particular deep learning, could help to improve weather predictions in the\u00a0coming years and presents an overview of the work on machine learning methods that is ongoing at the European Centre for\u00a0Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Weather predictions are based on models of the Earth system &#8212; a huge system that\u00a0consists of many individual components and shows chaotic behavior. For such a system, conventional tools are often\u00a0struggling to provide satisfying results. On the other hand, a huge amount of data is available from both observations and\u00a0modelling. Therefore, a large number of machine learning applications are currently tested in order to improve the different\u00a0components across the workflow of numerical weather predictions. Whether these approaches will succeed is still unclear as\u00a0there are also a number of challenges for the application of machine learning tools in weather predictions, such as the\u00a0representation of multiscale atmospheric dynamics.<\/p><\/div><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;

I illustrate these tools using three related applications: the nationalist rhetoric of Israeli religious leaders during conflict with the Palestinians, the adoption of radical ideologies by militant groups in Afghanistan, and the turn to Jihad by some clerics<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><br \/>Speaker:<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Erez Shmueli (Tel-Aviv University, MIT Media Lab)<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Understanding, Predicting and Shaping Human Behaviour<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0Big Data holds many promises, not only for the individual but also for the public good. At the individual level, Big Data can help users to become more connected, productive, and entertained. At the society level, Big Data creates tremendous opportunities in areas ranging from marketing to public health and urban planning. My work in this area has focused on utilizing data to build computational models of human behavior. Having such models would then allow us to better understand and predict future behaviors, and ultimately intervene when needed.\u00a0 In this talk, I will focus on a concrete example from a recently published paper: &#8220;Money Drives: Can Monetary Incentives based on Real-Time Monitoring Improve Driving Behavior?&#8221;. This paper examines the effectiveness of monetary incentives based on real-time monitoring as means to improve driving behavior of professional drivers.<\/p><\/div><div style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-10465\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"65\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10465\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-arrow-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">DSRC Colloquium - June 22nd, 2020 \u2013 AstroInformatics + An Ignite-Talks Session<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10465\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"65\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10465\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;\"><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 600; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><a style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #0e76bc; transition: color 400ms ease 0s, background-color 400ms ease 0s; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1WP-HJxNMMVM3VeO8Y4iXBKxKC9gtofbe\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom\u00a0Meeting Recording Here<\/a><\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><u>AstroInformatics + An Ignite-Talks Session<\/u><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><b>A New Approach to Periodicity Detection<\/b>\u00a0by Prof. Shay Zucker (Tel-Aviv University)\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><b>Abstract:\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">A New Approach to Periodicity Detection by Prof. Shay Zucker (Tel-Aviv University)<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">In Astronomy, periodicity is pervasive in many forms: from rotation of asteroids,<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">through the orbits of binary stars, to stellar orbits around the Galactic Center.

This work marks a first attempt to address this task with on-board sensing without assuming a known constant lane width or relying on pre-mapped environments. Our network architecture, 3D-LaneNet, applies two new concepts: intra-network inverse-perspective mapping (IPM) and anchor-based lane representation. The intra-network IPM projection facilitates a dual-representation information flow in both regular image-view and top-view. An anchor-per-column output representation enables our end-to-end approach which replaces common heuristics such as clustering and outlier rejection, casting lane estimation as an object detection problem. In addition, our approach explicitly handles complex situations such as lane merges and splits. Results are shown on two new 3D lane datasets, a synthetic and a real one. For comparison with existing methods, we test our approach on the image-only tuSimple lane detection benchmark, achieving performance competitive with state-of-the-art.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><h2>Dan Feldman\u00a0<\/h2><p><strong>Title: Visual Navigation for Drones<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Abstract\u00a0<\/strong>:<br \/>According to the law in Israel and US, you can use a drone inside the city or indoors only if its weight is less than 250 gram.

His research focused on the &#8220;fingerprints&#8221; of the classic chaos theory of quantum mechanics. He is also engaged in the development of computerized and mathematical methods for aiding archaeological research.<br \/>Smilansky\u2019s academic career is highly interdisciplinary, covering a broad spectrum of fields and methods.

style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">The ocean covers 70% of the earth surface, and influences almost every aspect in our life, such as climate, fuel, security, and food. The EU estimates that its maritime regions account for around 40% of its GDP. All over the world, depleting resources on land are encouraging increased human activity in the ocean, for example: gas drilling, desalination plants, port constructions, aquaculture, fish farming, producing bio-fuel, and more. These expanded activities influence the delicate ecology that is already threatened by global warming and ocean acidification, and present a risk of over-exploitation. The ocean is a complex, vast foreign environment that is hard to explore and therefore much about it is still unknown. Interestingly, only 5% of the ocean floor has been seen so far. As human access to most of the ocean is very limited, most of the operations in it rely on remote sensors. Thus, it introduces numerous research challenges in monitoring, surveying and data analysis on a wide scale.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">In this talk I will cover some of our recent efforts in underwater computer vision and present open challenges.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\"><a style=\"color: #000000; transition: color 400ms ease 0s, background-color 400ms ease 0s; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\" href=\"http:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/index.php\/he\/79-marine-technology\/389-marinetechnology-en-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/marsci.haifa.ac.il\/index.php\/he\/79-marine-technology\/389-marinetechnology-en-2\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1574427077741000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHMg0VwhzFFVQoUWkdA1ZlkfLl7sQ\">Dr. Tali Treibitz is heading the Marine Imaging Lab, in the Department for Marine Technologies, Charney School of Marine Sciences, University of Haifa.<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div><div style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><p>Previously: Dr. Tali Treibitz was a post-doc, working with David Kriegman in the Computer Vision group, Computer Science and Engineering department in the University of California, San Diego and with Jules Jaffe in the Jaffe laboratory for Underwater Imaging in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">\u00a0<\/p><\/div><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">Integrating multiple data sources for cross-disciplinary study of\u00a0<\/strong><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">marine systems<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Yoav Lehahn (The Strauss Department of Marine Geosciences, University of Haifa, Israel)<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">The study of the ocean is one of the biggest scientific challenges of the 21st century. It has a direct impact on our understanding of Earth\u2019s climate and biogeochemical cycling, as well as on our ability to provide human society with food, chemicals and energy. Oceanographic research relies largely on in-situ and remotely-sensed observations, which describe physical, chemical and biological seawater properties at a given time and place. These observations are collected from various manned and unmanned platforms, including research vessels, floats, drifters, autonomous vehicles and satellites, providing abundance of interdisciplinary information on processes occurring over a wide range of spatial (from microns to thousands of km) and temporal (from seconds to decades) scales. Collection of oceanic data is tedious and costly. However, due to their wellrecognized importance, over the last century numerous in-situ and remotely-sensed measurements have been constantly performed in different parts of the World Ocean, resulting in the creation of a very large amount of oceanic data, scattered between different research domains and disciplines. In this talk I will discuss some of the possibilities, challenges and approaches associated with integration of multi-source data for improving our understanding on marine systems and their role in the Earth system.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">In his work as an oceanographer Dr. Lehahn investigate the marine environment at the interface between scientific disciplines.

Flood forecasts are crucial for effective individual and governmental protective action. The vast majority of flood-related casualties occur in developing countries, where providing spatially accurate forecasts is a challenge due to scarcity of data and lack of funding. I will describe Google&#8217;s flood warning system, which provides flood extent forecast maps covering several flood-prone regions in India, and aims to eventually expand globally. To this end, we build high-resolution topographic maps from satellite data and run detailed hydraulic simulations to determine flood extent.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Zvika Ben-Haim received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and the B.A. degree in physics in 2000, the M.Sc. in electrical engineering in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2010, all from the Technion&#8212;Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.

I will end with a review of a deep learning algorithm that was trained on a linked dataset of mammograms and electronic health records and achieved breast cancer identification accuracy comparable to radiologists as defined by the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium benchmark for screening digital mammography. The algorithm has also revealed additional clinical risk features. The algorithm exhibits the potential to reduce the likelihood of breast cancer misdiagnosis.

A critical challenge in pain management emerges from the fact that pain cannot be directly measured. Therefore, the current gold standard for the assessment of pain is self-reporting. However, Patient self-reports of pain are however influenced by subjective pain tolerance, memories of past painful episodes and current context, and their willingness and honesty in reporting pain level. Therefore, objective measures of pain are needed to better inform pain management.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif !important;\">In this talk, I will present my recent research that focuses on pain estimation in close to real-life settings through its expression across a range of channels &#8212; voice, and physiological\/neural markers and body maps of multiple emotions. Particularly, I will present our mobile platform for tracking chronic pain patients that collects bodily representations of different emotions and pain, and audio\/video records of pain narratives. In addition, I will present a wearable system, which objectively quantifies user\u2019s pain perception based- on multiple physiological signals using sweep impedance profiling (SIP), electroencephalography (EEG), photoplethysmogram (PPG) and galvanic skin response (GSR).
