SUMMARY:Webinar: Bridging Realities: AI in Enhancing Human Experience
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE FOR SYMPOSIUM LINK \nSymposium Agenda: \nINDUSTRY KEYNOTE\nIntro to LLMs\, and How to Harness Their Power\n9:00am – 9:50am\, followed by a 10 minute break \nPrasad Chalasani\nCo-Founder and Lead Architect\nLangroid \nWith the release of ChatGPT and similar Large Language Models (LLMs)\, we are witnessing a truly transformative moment in the field of NLP and AI. These models\nexhibit remarkable capabilities much beyond simple text continuation: they can follow instructions\, engage in natural conversation\, and perform tasks from just a few examples. Their behavior mimics human-like\nunderstanding\, planning\, reasoning and problem-solving. While these abilities are doubtless impressive\, LLMs have limitations: they are brittle\, they can deviate from instructions\, they can hallucinate\, they have limited context length and they can be expensive to use. In this talk I will give a brief history of LLMs\, and discuss their capabilities and limitations. I will then argue that leveraging LLMs requires a principled programming framework\, in particular an agent-oriented framework. I will introduce Langroid\, an open-source Python framework for building LLM applications using Multi-Agent Programming\, and share a few examples of how to use Langroid. My hope is to stimulate the audience to think about how LLMs can help in their fields and perhaps even dive into building LLM applications. \nPrasad Chalasani earned his BTech in CS from IIT Kharagpur\, and his PhD in ML from CMU. After a brief stint in academia (Los Alamos\, ASU)\, he spent a decade in quant finance (Goldman Sachs\, Hedge Funds)\, and another decade in Tech\, leading ML teams at Yahoo and MediaMath. He is a co-founder and lead architect of Langroid\, github.com/langroid/langroid\, which aims to simplify LLM application development with a multi-agent approach. He is currently an ML/LLM consultant. \n\nBeyond Human Intuition: AI’s Role in Modern Decision Making\n10:00am – 10:50am\, followed by a 10 minute break \nKambiz Saffarizadeh\, Assistant Professor\, University of Texas-Arlington\nEkaterina Jussupow\, Assistant Professor\, Technical University Darmstadt\nBowen Lou\, Assistant Professor\, University of Connecticut \nModerator: Scott Schanke\, Director\, Center for Technology Innovation & Assistant Professor\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \n\n \nACADEMIC KEYNOTE\nLeveraging AI for Business and Society\n11:00am – 11:50am\, followed by a 10 minute break \nRavi Bapna\nCurtis L. Carlson Chair Professor in Business Analytics and Information Systems\nCarlson School of Management\, University of Minnesota \nHis latest book (forthcoming from the MIT Press in Sep 2024) “Thrive: Maximizing Well-Being in the Age of AI\,” delves into strategies that individuals and organizations can adopt to flourish in an AI-driven world\, making him an invaluable voice on the subject of AI and its implications on modern life. His insights are particularly crucial as businesses and educational institutions increasingly look to leverage AI for strategic advantage and improved operational efficiencies. \nProfessor Ravi Bapna holds the Curtis L. Carlson Chair in Business Analytics and Information Systems at the Carlson School of Management\, University of Minnesota. He also serves as the Academic Director of the Analytics for Good Institute and the Carlson Analytics Lab. A renowned expert in the fields of data science and business analytics\, Professor Bapna’s work primarily explores the transformative impact of digital technologies on business and society. \n\nINDUSTRY PANEL:\nEnhancing Human Decisions in the Real World: Practical Insights from AI and Analytics Experts\n12:00pm – 12:45pm \nAushutosh Banerjee\, Vice President of Global Success\, GE Healthcare\nRandy G. Mangelsen\, CFA\, CQF\, FRM\, PRM\, Co-Head of Investment Analytics Allspring Global Investments\nNick Logan\, Advanced Analytics Manager\, Church Mutual Insurance Company \nModerator: Scott Schanke\, Director\, Center for Technology Innovation & Assistant Professor\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nREGISTER HERE FOR SYMPOSIUM LINK \n  \nMany thanks to our symposium sponsor!
