SUMMARY:CS Colloquium Talk: “Data and AI Markets: A Data Science Perspective” by Prof. Jian Pei
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Computer Science is delighted to invite you to a distinguished talk titled\, “Data and AI Markets: A Data Science Perspective” by Prof. Jian Pei\, the Arthur S. Pearse Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Duke University. With over 140\,000 citations on Google Scholar\, he is one of the world’s leading scholars in data mining and database fields. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights from a top scholar! \n\n\n\nAbstract of Talk: As data and AI become central to innovation across industries\, unlocking their full value remains a grand challenge. This talk explores the emerging paradigm of data and AI markets as a transformative approach to address the technical\, economic\, and societal complexities of data sharing\, model integration\, and collaborative analytics. Unlike ad hoc or siloed exchanges\, data and AI markets provide scalable\, systematic mechanisms for valuation\, privacy preservation\, trustworthiness\, and incentivization. Through real-world examples from healthcare\, sustainability\, and federated learning\, the talk illustrates how data ecosystems can evolve from isolated assets to dynamic\, service-oriented platforms. Drawing from recent advances in Shapley value computation\, game-theoretic valuation\, and privacy-aware mechanisms\, it highlights novel methods for quantifying contribution and ensuring fairness. It also presents system-level innovations like Dealer\, which enable trustworthy\, privacy-preserving marketplaces. The vision is clear: by co-designing infrastructure\, algorithms\, and economic models\, we can build data and AI markets that are equitable\, efficient\, and impactful. This talk shares both foundational ideas and cutting-edge developments\, offering a data science perspective on how to operationalize cooperation in the age of AI. \n\n\n\nBiography:Dr. Jian Pei is the Arthur S. Pearse Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science\, Trinity College of Arts and Sciences\, at Duke University\, holding additional primary appointments in Departments of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics (School of Medicine) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (Pratt School of Engineering).   Dr. Pei is acclaimed for developing influential data mining algorithms such as FP-growth and PrefixSpan\, widely adopted in both academia and industry.  His interdisciplinary work spans applications in healthcare\, bioinformatics\, social networks\, and equitable AI\, aiming to develop fair and transparent data science solutions for societal benefit. With over 300 publications and about 140\,000 citations\, he ranks among the most cited authors in his field.  His accolades include the 2017 ACM SIGKDD Innovation Award and the 2015 SIGKDD Service Award\, recognizing his technical excellence and leadership in the data mining community.  Dr. Pei is a Fellow of the ACM\, the IEEE\, the Royal Society of Canada\, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.  He is a former chair of ACM SIGKDD\, the editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions of Knowledge Discovery from Data\, and a former editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions of Knowledge and Data Engineering. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\n\n\nLocation: Stone Building 204

SUMMARY:A Great Conversation - Rationality Wars: How Irrational Are We\, Really?
DESCRIPTION:Join the UNCG Philosophy Department for this next event in their Great Conversation series.  \n\n\n\nDr. Alejandro Hortal\, from the Dept of Languages\, Literatures & Cultures\, facilitates this conversation exploring the ongoing debate over the nature of human rationality and the implications for understanding behavior.  \n\n\n\nAre our decisions systematically flawed\, or are they contextually adaptive? Competing views from psychology\, economics\, and philosophy offer conflicting interpretations of what counts as rational behavior—and why it matters.  \n\n\n\nThese “rationality wars” raise critical questions about autonomy\, error\, and the legitimacy of interventions designed to correct our choices. By examining how we label behavior as irrational\, this conversation invites reflection on the philosophical and scientific approaches to rationality. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.  \n\n\n\nLocation: UNCG Foust Building\, Room 206
