Dear faculty and students,

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday, Feb 06, at noon in *NSH 
1507* for AI Seminar sponsored?by Apple. To learn more about the seminar 
series, please visit the AI Seminar webpage 
<http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Eaiseminar/>.

On Tuesday, Reihaneh Rabbany <http://www.reirab.com/>will give the 
following talk:

Title: Mining Connections

Abstract:

Connections are ubiquitous in different domains; from collaborations and 
associations between people, to proteins and genes interacting to carry 
out a biological function. To study the structure and dynamics of the 
interconnected world around us, we need models and algorithms that 
integrate three principal elements: connection, content, and time. In 
order to achieve these integrated models, I will discuss bringing 
machine learning, network science, and data mining together. As a step 
toward this direction, I talk about narrowing the gap between clustering 
(based on content), community detection (using connections), and 
extending them to the dynamic settings (time). Throughout the talk, I 
will give examples from the broader impacts of this research in 
computational social science, combating online human trafficking, and 
educational data mining.

We got very little in terms of response to this request.

So, before taking any other measures ;)? let me suggest that we have a 
1/2 day working session
with nice lunch or dinner food provided courtesy of the Auton Lab at the 
end, so that we could
help Karen produce useful and robust caselets.

Please indicate your availability thorough this doodle poll:

Thank you for those signing up.

The workshop will take place on next Monday Feb 12th 9:00am-12:30pm at NSH
3001. Please bring your laptop to the meeting.

The rough schedule of the meeting is

9:00-11:00    braining storm on each one's caselet
11:00-12:00  individual work on authoring caselet (you may work in your
office or in the room, but do come back for lunch)
12:00-12:30  lunch and wrap up

To prepare for brainstorming, please bring one dataset/case that you're
interested , and be ready to brief on the data/problems and propose a few
challenges to be addressed in the caselet.
Please sign up for your caselet here to avoid duplication. To help with the
transition, please have the link to your presentation ready before the
meeting.

Fellow Autonians,

FYI, the Auton Lab work on/Discovery of anomalous patterns of sexual 
violence in El Salvador/made it to the list of fifteen data innovation 
projects featured by UN Women and Global Pulse in the report "Gender 
equality and big data: Making gender data visible". The goal of this 
report is to analyze how data science can contribute towards achieving 
the 5th sustainable development goal: achieving gender equality and 
empowering all women and girls.

Dear Artur, Thanks for sharing. Maria as a Heinz-ML student has been a superstar all along winning multiple awards. Congrats, Maria. Congrats, Artur.

Andrew, absolutely spot on about what this work is all about and how aligned it is with our efforts in Technology and Society. Jon, please work with Mark. It would be great to highlight the great work that stems from collaborative efforts across our schools ? in this case, Heinz, MLD and Auton Lab in SCS.

Best,

Krishnan

p.s. Thanks, Farnam.

Thanks for sharing, Andrew. I just glanced at the report and read p.14. So impressive. Quintessential CMU research at the nexus of science, technology and humanity.

Congratulations and best wishes to Artur and the ?autonian? team!

Fellow Autonians,

FYI, the Auton Lab work on Discovery of anomalous patterns of sexual violence in El Salvador made it to the list of fifteen data innovation projects featured by UN Women and Global Pulse in the report "Gender equality and big data: Making gender data visible". The goal of this report is to analyze how data science can contribute towards achieving the 5th sustainable development goal: achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.

(see page 14 in the report) http://www.unwomen.org/-/media/headquarters/attachments/sections/library/publications/2018/gender-equality-and-big-data-en.pdf?la=en&vs=3955<http://www.unwomen.org/en/digital-library/publications/2018/1/gender-equality-and-big-data>

Congrats to Maria!

Cheers,
Artur

Subject: Gogs upgraded
Message-ID: <20180211223036.B8tKGSwF2%predragp@andrew.cmu.edu>

Dear Autonians,

I have just updated Gogs/Git to the latest 0.11.34 release. Before you
continue to read please clear old browser cash and ssh key by removing
gogs from

~/.ssh/known_hosts 

file.

This was also an opportunity for me to use for the first time the new
official FreeBSD port

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=Gogs&stype=all

instead of compiling the application from the source. That required some
fiddling with the existing configuration files and moving existing Gogs
data directory to the new location. I didn't change the repo location.
Please be extra vigilant and report anything unusual. I do have old
instance ready to go back to production.

For the curious our Gogs runs in FreeBSD jail on the top of ZFS pool in
order to take advantage of ZFS snapshots and replications. Now with the
official port Gogs will be upgraded on the quarterly base.

Best,
Predrag

Dear Autonians,

I would like to share great news about our own Emily Kennedy and her - 
actually we can say it is ours :) - spinoff company, Marinus Analytics.

Recall that Traffic Jam has been developed at the Auton Lab to mine 
online data for evidence
indicative of human trafficking, and it has since been transitioned to 
widespread practice across
law enforcement and NGO spaces by Marinus.

Marinus was selected to receive the Toyota ?Mother of Invention? Award, 
based on the work on "Traffic Jam" and using technology to combat human 
trafficking. CEO Emily Kennedy will be accepting this award at the Los 
Angeles Salon this week as well as the New York City Summit in April. 
This award is given to ?women-led?companies, who are tackling the 
world?s most challenging issues with remarkable?creativity. These women, 
who are leading the charge to work on issues like homelessness, 
education, food, water, energy and more, come from all over the world, 
and are using innovation to create lasting and sustainable impact.?

(check their website for previous awardees, really impressive stuff: 
https://paidpost.nytimes.com/toyota/mothers-of-invention-presented-by-women-in-the-world.html#impact2017) 


Huge congrats to Emily, Marinus and everyone at the Auton Lab who helped 
develop the underlying technology and ideas for its use!

Cheers
Artur

   Hello Predrag,

   My name is Marcus and I work for an executive search firm.

   We are currently working with a client that is looking for a robotics
   software engineer and I'm reaching out to you for assistance as someone
   that might know someone how could be a good fit.

   working with ROS Frameworks as well as hands-on experience with
   software development and testing with autonomous navigation and
   robotics. Must be proficient in C++ and Python and working with
   hardware (cameras, LIDAR, IMU's, GPS, and SONAR).

   The position is located in California and relocation and sponsorship
   could be offered for the right candidate.

   If you know of someone that could be a good fit, please do pass on this

No /tmp is not in RAM. I ended up rebooting machine to clear the stuff 
as it is not easy even to locate of the cashed files.

Subject: [hackauton] Help hanging flyers
Message-ID: <CAJ4FYPwCRmPqW+sFYmd0-XQTM+SfbXYq=FfGwT59n0H3o2bTRQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

The hackauton is scheduled April 6-8, about a month away!

I printed a bunch of flyers (image attached) to advertise the event.  I
could use help hanging these up around campus.

Please grab a few flyers and thumbtacks in NSH 3111 and hang them on any
bulletin boards across campus that you frequently walk past.  We want
participation from undergrad and grad students across as many departments
as possible.


Thanks!

- Nick
