2018 Rice Data Science Conference

Register Now button

Data science is rapidly evolving as an essential interdisciplinary field, where advances often result from combinations of ideas from several disciplines. This conference, to be hosted annually by Rice University, is for professionals and practitioners working in machine learning, deep learning, data mining, artificial intelligence, or big data problems broadly. Recognizing that discovery and innovation happens at interfaces of disciplines and communities, the conference aims to bring together a diverse set of people from multiple communities spanning academia and industry.

The conference will be a research, development, and innovation (RD&I) gathering, bringing together university and research labs (technology developers), key industry verticals (technology consumers), and IT industry (technology providers) that are looking at opportunities created by advances in AI, data analytics, machine learning and deep learning.

Conversational Machine Learning presented by Dr. Tom Mitchell

"Conversational Machine Learning"
Presented by: Tom Mitchell, E. Fredkin University Professor, Machine Learning Department, Carnegie Mellon University

According to Tom Mitchell, if we wish to predict the future of machine learning, all we need to do is identify ways in which people learn but computers don’t, yet. "Humans often learn from natural language instruction.  Now that computers are finally able to have conversations (i.e., we routinely have simple conversations with our phones), it is time for research on how computers might also learn from conversations with human instructors," says Mitchell. Watch this intriguing video now as Dr. Tom Mitchell presents a look into the future relationship and language of humans and machines.
