Please join us for the online Queen’s School of Nursing Academic Series entitled 'Reconstructing medical professionalism in the Choosing Wisely era: A discourse analysis" presented by Andrew Smaggus, M.Sc., M.D. This event is free, and open to all.

Andrew Smaggus is currently a 5th-year student in the Health Quality Ph.D. program at Queen’s University. His current research interests focus on discursive aspects of healthcare quality and patient safety, including how notions of quality and safety are constructed within healthcare discourses.

His previous research interests include resilience in health care and morbidity & mortality rounds. Andrew previously received his M.Sc. (in Healthcare Quality) from Queen’s University and his M.D. from the University of Toronto.

Ingenuity Labs Presents:D Ting Hu, Evolutionary Approaches to Explainable AI

Ingenuity Labs Presents:D Ting Hu, Evolutionary Approaches to Explainable AI

When:
Monday, October 16, 2023
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Where:
Mitchell Hall
Room: 395
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Machine learning has the remarkable capability to uncover intricate patterns and relationships within
data. However, the consequential decisions made based on these model predictions can profoundly
affect human lives. As machine learning models find their way into high‐stakes domains such as
medicine, job hiring, and criminal justice, concerns about fairness, transparency, and accountability
have emerged. In response, there is a growing need not only to create highly accurate prediction
models but also to comprehend and elucidate the inner workings of these predictive systems.

Evolutionary computing, a versatile meta‐learning approach, can generate innovative, multi‐objective,
and diverse solutions to optimization and learning challenges. It holds exceptional promise in the realm
of crafting solutions for Explainable AI (XAI). In this talk, we discuss the landscape of explainability and
its associated concepts. We highlight the potential of evolutionary computing as a means of crafting
comprehensive explanations for machine learning.

Speaker: Edward Struzik

Title: Future Arctic: Field Notes From A World on the Edge

Author Edward Struzik has spent the better part of the last four decades exploring the Arctic by canoe, kayak, on foot, skis, and on icebreakers with scientists and Indigenous people. In this lecture, he will describe how the Arctic we once knew is coming to an end and how a new Arctic is unfolding.

Edward Struzik is an educator and fellow at Queen's Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy at Queen's University, and the author of eight books, including Northwest Passage, The Big Thaw, and Future Arctic: Field Notes From a World on the Edge.

Praise for Future Arctic:

“For many Canadians Edward Struzik’s writings from the far north will be immediately familiar. But Future Arctic should be the book that introduces him to the rest of the world because his unique voice needs to be heard." (New Scientist)
