Title : Crowdsourcing for Distant Supervision with Active Learning

Presenter Anca Dumitrache
Abstract Relation extraction from distant supervision generates a lot of false positives in training data for natural language processing (NLP) models. Crowdsourcing is effective at gathering ground truth for training NLP systems, but it can also be quite expensive. Active Learning is a method to optimize crowdsourcing by picking those examples from the data that are most representative or most likely to need correction. In this talk, I will discuss an ongoing work to predict which distant supervision seeds are likely to be false positives and have them annotated by the crowd. Compared to annotating a random sub-sample, we expect our active learning method to provide higher quality training data and result in better performance of our relation extraction model.

Title : A(I) Bird's Eye View

Presenter Stefan Schlobach
Abstract As you might know or not, I have been working for several years now (on and off) on a book for children on AI. I will tell you about the main concept of the book, the structure and a bit of content (without giving away too much). I look forward to your feedback, and hope to get an answer to the question what you all think AI is...
