Event details
There are 3 talks for this session
Talk 1
Topic: Using Machine Learning to meet Data Privacy requirements.
Speaker: Jason Quek from Avalon Solutions
Synoposis: General Data Protection Regulation states that European citizens have the right to request for access to their personal data, and that photos of themselves are considered personal data. With a large database of photos, companies run the risk of running afoul of regulations which can cost many millions in fines.
During this session, we will demonstrate how we use Machine Learning to solve this problem at different levels through facial recognition models and categorization of unstructured data, e.g. DNS entries. As data privacy becomes a larger issue in Singapore, some of the techniques can be reused to ensure that data breaches can be detected and not compromised.
Talk 2

Sypnosis: AI systems are enabling new experiences and abilities for people around the globe. The risk is that any unfairness in such systems can also have a wide-scale impact. Thus, as the impact of AI increases across sectors and societies, it is critical to work towards systems that are fair and inclusive for all. This talk will share some of our current work and recommended practices for building fairer and more inclusive AI systems.
