HIIT seminar
Lecture hall T2,Computer Science building, Konemiehentie 2, 02150, EspooAbstract:
Discrimination-aware data mining/ machine learning is an emerging discipline at an intersection of computer science, law and social sciences. Law defines no-discrimination constraints, machine learning incorporates those constraints into algorithms for learning models from data. The goal is to prevent discrimination when decisions in real life are made...

Learning with Cross-Kernel Matrices and Ideal PCA
Dr. Franz Kiraly, University College London, UK
Abstract:We describe how cross-kernel matrices - that is, kernel matrices between the data and a custom chosen set of `inducing points' - can be used for general non-linear learning tasks.
The main potential of cross-kernel matrices is that: (a) they provide Nystrom-type speed-ups for kernel learning without relying on subsampling, thus avoiding potential problems with sampling...

Abstract:
We provide the scientific foundations for athletic performance
prediction on an individual level, exposing the phenomenology of
individual athletic performance in the form of a low-rank model
dominated by an individual power law. We present, evaluate, and compare
a selection of methods for prediction of individual running performance,
including our own, local matrix... -

Abstract:
Tile assembly is a model of self-assembly of matter derived from Wang tilings. It has been implemented using DNA and gave rise to impressive experimental realizations, such as DNA Origami.
Tile assembly is computationally powerful: simulating Turing machines
is actually quite easy, but it requires a mecanism called
/cooperation/, by which tiles can sometimes assemble only if they... -
