The secret to holding your audience’s attention lies in the timeless art of storytelling\, something that has captivated and inspired humans since the dawn of time. People buy stories\, not data. The key when presenting data\, therefore\, is to turn your data into a compelling story. But how do we combine the worlds of data and storytelling when presenting? \nthink-cell’s new webinar\, the Data Storytelling Masterclass\, has been designed to teach you the guiding principles of data storytelling. You will learn how to turn your data into a compelling narrative and how to simplify and focus your message so that you drive action in every presentation you give. \nDon’t miss your chance to enhance your presentation skills – register now and embark on a journey to captivate\, inform\, and influence like never before!\nThis event is free to all UWM students\, faculty\, and staff! \nSpeaker: Felix Malzfeldt\, think-cell\nFelix\, originally from south Somerset\, has a background as a passionate historian. He studied History at Manchester University\, graduating with both Bachelor and Master degrees. Following his studies\, Felix moved to Berlin to live in a European capital and learn German. Here\, he joined Fat Tire Tours as a historical guide where he learned to love the art of storytelling\, the key to successful guiding. In 2021\, Felix transitioned to think-cell Software\, we he heads its academic program in Europe and runs its training program for students and professors across the world. By leading think-cell’s brand-new seminar\, Data Storytelling Masterclass\, this keeps him engaging in the art of storytelling. \nOops! We could not locate your form.

We find that higher initial offers are followed by fewer bid revisions and an increased likelihood of being the winning bidder. Though there is a positive relation between a higher first offer and the final premium\, bidder returns at the first public announcement of the deal are positively related to the initial bid strength in target-initiated deals. In bidder-initiated transactions\, stronger initial bids correlate with higher combined target and acquirer returns. In a similar vein\, more precise initial bids also increase the likelihood of target acceptance and result in higher acquirer returns in case of auctions\, bidder-initiated and cash-paid transactions. \n  URL:https://uwm.edu/business/event/deal-process/ LOCATION:Lubar Hall\, N440\, 3202 N.

We explore the potential of generative AI in the creator economy by investigating the effects of AI-generated voice adoption on creators’ productivity and creative patterns on TikTok\, one of the world’s largest video-sharing platforms. Using a unique dataset of 554\,252 videos from 4\,691 TikTok creators\, we conduct multimodal analyses of the video data to detect the adoption of AI voice and to quantify video characteristics. We then estimate the adoption effects using a stacked difference-in-differences model coupled with propensity score matching. Our results suggest that AI voice adoption significantly increases creator productivity. This effect is larger among less experienced or less popular creators\, suggesting an equalizing effect of generative AI. Moreover\, we find that the use of AI voice enhances video novelty across image\, audio\, and text modalities\, especially among experienced creators\, suggesting its role in reducing routine workload and fostering creative exploration. Lastly\, our study also uncovers a disinhibition effect\, where creators conceal their identities with the AI voice and exert more negative sentiments because of diminished social image concerns. Our paper provides the first empirical evidence of how generative AI reshapes online video creation. \n  URL:https://uwm.edu/business/event/generative-ai/ LOCATION:Lubar Hall\, N440\, 3202 N.

To compress these forces into a single summary statistic\, standard measures of concentration\, including the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI)\, make implicit assumptions about the relative importance of each force. This paper introduces a generalized measure of concentration that explicitly parameterizes the relative importance given to each force. Using this measure\, we show that the widely cited evidence of increasing industrial concentration relies on HHI’s overweighting of evenness and underweighting of firm counts. Using an alternative\, equally-weighted measure that has equivalent theoretical implications as HHI\, but possesses superior statistical attributes\, we find that employment concentration decreased from 1990 to 2020\, in contrast to conventional wisdom. These findings raise doubts about the widespread belief that markets have become less competitive. \n  URL:https://uwm.edu/business/event/concentration/ LOCATION:Lubar Hall\, N440\, 3202 N.

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.
