Three experts from science and industry - Miriam Rateike, Theresa Tran and Prof. Dr. Florian Lemmerich - will provide exclusive insights into the current state of research and discuss the challenges we face. The event will take place from 18:00 to 19:30 in virtual format via Zoom.
The speakers:
- Miriam Rateike is a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany, and a research associate at the Chair of Machine Learning of Prof. Isabel Valera at Saarland University. Her research focuses on developing algorithms for fair decision making under realistic assumptions. She is particularly interested in the intersection of causality and fairness.
- Theresa Tran is a data science consultant at the IT consultancy Lufthansa Industry Solutions. She received the 2019 Telekom Women's STEM Award for her master's thesis, "A Game Theoretical Approach to Explainable Machine Learning." In her spare time, she is committed to getting girls and women excited about the STEM field, including being a dedicated member of Femtec.Alumnae e.V. (FTA for short).
- Prof. Dr. Florian Lemmerich is Professor of Applied Machine Learning at the University of Passau. After receiving his PhD in 2014 from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, he was a postdoc at GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Cologne in 2015-2017 and then at RWTH Aachen University at the Chair of Computational Social Sciences and Humanities until 2021. His research focuses on the development and application of machine learning methods that address the special requirements of machine learning together with humans and on data from and about humans.
