R58.00001: Data Science in Leadership Consulting and People Analytics Invited Speaker: Meghan Anzelc In this session, I will provide an overview of my own career path from particle physics PhD to data science leader, sharing how skills from a physics degree translate to data science careers. I will also share how data science can be applied to the field of people analytics, in topics ranging from leadership assessment and consulting to career planning and recruiting. |

R58.00002: Machine Learning enables a new view in the Agriculture industry Invited Speaker: Jennifer Hobbs Deep learning has revolutionized computer vision applications in a number of industries including precision agriculture. Here we focus on three tasks which are central to aiding farmers in making data-drive management decisions to maximize yields in a sustainable manner. |

R58.00003: Building a safe and professional community at LinkedIn using Data Science Invited Speaker: Pan Wu LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network on the internet, helping members to connect and strengthen professional relationships. LinkedIn is rated as the most trusted platform for the third year in a row, and Data Science contributes to building a safe platform in various ways. In this talk, we would like to provide a taste of the Data Science work here at LinkedIn’s Trust team: experimentations are leveraged to understand product changing impacts to optimize member trust experience, advanced analytics are used to identify bad actors behavior patterns for better prevention, and prevalence studies are carried out to understand the gap in our current detection mechanism. This talk aims to help fellow physical science researchers learn more about the Data Science world. |

R58.00004: Fluctuations, control and suppression of viral outbreaks Invited Speaker: Ira Schwartz Viral epidemics are always spread through population contacts that fluctuate, sometimes deterministically but mostly as random processes. Such fluctuations are observed in different spatial resolutions as well as time. Moreover, they affect how successful controls will be, whether through vaccinations, anti-virals, or social distancing-- as seen in the data analysis of COVID-19. Here we review how various controls will operate under different situations, with and without vaccination. |

R58.00005: Applying Deep Learning to Natural Language and Conversational AI Invited Speaker: Huaixiu Zheng Deep Learning has made tremendous progress in the past few years, achieving many super-human performances in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. However, applying deep learning to industrial settings imposes real-world challenges that require non-trial engineering and research innovations. In this talk, I will talk about several case studies where successful applied research of deep learning in the problem space of natural language and conversational AI brings enormous real-world impacts by transforming the way people interact with natural language interfaces. |
