AIX Forum
Economics and Causal Reasoning
Palaver, Dipoli
Aalto University
FCAI & Helsinki GSE jointly organise:
AIX Forum: Economics and Causal Reasoning
Location: Dipoli, room Palaver
Time: Monday 4.11.2019, 15:00-19:00
Discovering causal mechanisms that explain observed properties and behaviours in both nature and human societies is a central goal in natural sciences, economics, and many other fields of study.
Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) and Helsinki Graduate School of Economics (Helsinki GSE) invite you to a joint informal seminar on causal reasoning that introduces, contrasts and compares two prominent schools of thought on this difficult topic: Pearl’s causal (do) calculus, used widely in natural sciences, and the Potential Outcomes model of Rubin, used widely in economics.
The program consists of jargon-free introductions to both models, followed by example cases of local research that makes use of them.
Speakers:
Antti Hyttinen (University of Helsinki): Pearl's Approach to Causality
Tuomas Pekkarinen (VATT Institute for Economic Research): Design-based Approach to Causal Inference in Economics
Timo Koski (KTH, Sweden): Causality in Continuous Time Bayesian Network Models
Matti Sarvimäki (Aalto University): RDD in Action - The Impact of an Integration Policy
Jukka Corander (University of Oslo, University of Helsinki): Context-specific Causal Models
Otto Toivanen (Aalto University): Links between Structural and Reduced Form Analysis - An Example on Effects of R&D Subsidies
The seminar will conclude with informal free time with snacks and wine to facilitate exploration of the connections and questions that come up during the talks. We ask you to please register for the event using this link: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/Participation/Public/15f54b7d-2870-4c7a-b684-1e056752bff5?displayId=Fin1858092

Erkki Oja 2019 IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award lecture
Forty years of unsupervised machine learning
T1, CS Building
Konemiehentie 2
Aalto University
FCAI is proud to host Erkki Oja’s IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award Lecture on neural networks on 18 September at 3pm.
The lecture is free of charge and open to everyone. The lecture will be followed by an informal cocktail event. For catering purposes, we ask you to register by 13 September.
Erkki Oja (Distinguished Professor emeritus, Aalto University)
IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award Lecture: Forty Years of Unsupervised Machine Learning
Unsupervised learning is a classical approach in artificial neural networks, pattern recognition and data analysis. Its importance is growing today, due to the increasing data volumes and the difficulty of obtaining labelled training data of sufficient quantity and quality, that could be used for supervised learning. The talk looks at the basic approaches during the past forty years, especially from the perspective of learning neurons and neural networks. A widely used methodology are linear latent variable models, such as principal component analysis, independent component analysis, and nonnegative matrix factorizations. They can be implemented in one-layer neural networks or shallow autoencoders. Mathematically, they can be represented as decompositions of the data matrix containing the unlabeled samples. In deep learning, nonlinear latent variables can be found by deep autoencoders. Another widely used classical methodology is clustering, which also has a relation to matrix factorizations. In self-organizing maps, the clusters are ordered in a specific way.
Erkki Oja received the D.Sc. degree from Helsinki University of Technology in 1977. He is Past Director of the Computational Inference Research Centre and Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Computer Science and Engineering at the Department of Computer Science, Aalto University, Finland. He holds an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University, Sweden, as well as from two Finnish universities. He has been research associate at Brown University, Providence, RI, and visiting professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and the Universite Pantheon-Sorbonne, France. He is the author or coauthor of more than 300 articles and book chapters on pattern recognition, computer vision, and neural computing, and three books: "Subspace Methods of Pattern Recognition" (Research Studies Press and Wiley, 1983), which has been translated into Chinese and Japanese; "Kohonen Maps" (Elsevier, 1999), and "Independent Component Analysis" (Wiley, 2001; also translated into Chinese and Japanese). His research interests are in the study of neural networks and unsupervised machine learning, especially principal component and independent component analysis, self-organization, statistical pattern recognition, and applying machine learning to computer vision and signal processing. Much of this work is highly cited.
Prof. Oja is a member of the Finnish Academy of Sciences, Finnish Academy of Technical Sciences, the Academia Europaea, Life Fellow of the IEEE, Founding Fellow of the International Association of Pattern Recognition (IAPR), Past President of the European Neural Network Society (ENNS), and Fellow of the International Neural Network Society (INNS). He is Past Chairman of the Finnish Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering and Commander of the Order of Lion of Finland. He is a member or past-member of the editorial boards of several journals and has been in the program committees of several recent conferences. Prof. Oja is a recipient of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Neural Networks Pioneer Award, the IAPR P. Devijver Award, the INNS Hebb Award, and the IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award.
The IEEE Frank Rosenblatt Award, established in 2004, is given for outstanding contributions to biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms and systems. The 2019 Award was given to Erkki Oja for his contributions to neural networks and unsupervised learning. Previous recipients of the Award include many pioneers of neural network research, including John Hopfield, Terrence Sejnowski, Teuvo Kohonen and Geoffrey Hinton (one of the recent recipients of the Turing Award).

AI Ethics Beyond the Obvious
AI Ethics is becoming a discussion topic in industry as well as public sector organisations. Often the debate repeats around the same high level examples and dilemma’s like for example the responsibilities related autonomous vehicles in case of accidents or discriminating biases of algorithms. Francesca Rossi will widen the debate beyond those well known cases, what it means to put AI ethics into practice.
About the speaker
Francesca Rossi is IBM’s Global Leader for AI Ethics and Professor of Computer Science at University of Padova. She has worked for three decades in Artificial Intelligence in Europe and in the United States.
The European Commission has created a High Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence to guide the implementation across Europe of its recently announced AI Strategy. Francesca Rossi is a member of the group and is visiting Finland to join AI Forum 2018: an event initiated by Minister of Economic Affairs of Finland, Mr. Mika Lintilä as Finland prepares to its EU Council Presidency in 2019.
The lecture will be followed by moment of networking with snacks!
