PRE-CONFERENCE COURSES START ON NOVEMBER 4TH

Course #1

Responsible AI: Fairness, Transparency, Bias, and Explainability

Date: November 4 – 2 pm(Brazilian time)

From everyday applications to complex algorithms, technology has the potential to hide, accelerate and even deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racist practices of an earlier era. In this talk, I present some implications of Artificial Intelligence, exploring some examples where it fails and/or causes a negative impact. We’ll look at some of the open source tools available today to try to see if the data or models we create is discriminatory if it’s biased, and how we can mitigate it.

SOBRE O EVENTO

Prezados colegas

Neste ano estamos organizando o XVII Simpósio Internacional de Processamento e Análise de Informação Médica (SIPAIM) em conjunto com o X Simpósio de Instrumentação e Imagem Médica (SIIM). Em seus 16 anos de tradição, o SIPAIM foi realizado na Argentina, Colômbia, Equador, México, Venezuela e Peru. Em 2021, será a primeira vez que o SIPAIM será realizado no Brasil. Já o SIIM tem sido realizado quase sempre no Estado de São Paulo, mas já foi realizado no Rio Grande do Sul e em Minas Gerais. Em sua décima edição, ocorre a cada 2 anos e é um evento tradicional da área: embora tenha tido inicialmente um caráter regional, tem recebido submissão de artigos e participação de estudantes e pesquisadores de todo o país, sendo um evento apoiado desde sua primeira edição pela Sociedade Brasileira de Engenharia Biomédica – SBEB.

O evento acontecerá em Campinas, na Unicamp, entre os dias 17 e 19 de novembro de 2021. A expectativa é que o evento seja presencial, mas em paralelo nos prepararemos para uma versão virtual ou híbrida. O deadline para submissão de trabalhos é 12 de julho. Submissões deverão ter no mínimo 6 páginas (em inglês) e os trabalhos aceitos serão publicados na SPIE Digital Library e indexados pela base Scopus.

Mais informações estão disponíveis no site (https://www.sipaim.org/).

Estimulem seus alunos a submeterem trabalhos, participem!
