Wir, das Institute of AI in Management an der LMU München, sind begeistert von KI und den dynamischen Entwicklungen in diesem Bereich. Deshalb möchten wir Einblicke aus erster Hand in die aktuelle Forschungsarbeit von angesehenen Wissenschaftler:innen aus der ganzen Welt, geben. Wir freuen uns jedes Semester großartige Gastredner:innen für unsere Vortragsreihe gewinnen zu können.
Alle Vorträge finden online statt und sind per Zoom erreichbar für jeden, der Interesse hat. Unser Ziel ist es einen Überblick über aktuelle Trends in der KI Forschung zu geben. Die Vorträge finden immer am Donnerstag statt und bestehen aus ca. 45-60 Minuten Präsentation, gefolgt von Diskussion, Feedback und Q&A. Wir freuen uns darauf, Sie herzlich begrüßen zu dürfen.
Alle Informationen zu Terminen, Gastredner:innen und ihren Themen, inkl. Zoom Links werden im Laufe der Zeit auf dieser Veranstaltungsseite veröffentlicht.
Sie sind herzlich eingeladen sich für unseren Newsletter anzumelden, über den wir alle kommenden Veranstaltungen dieser Serie kommunizieren. Hier geht es zu unserer Anmeldeseite.

AI Keynote Serie Sommer Semester 2024
Do. 28.11.2024
Gastredner: Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Department of Computer Science, Princeton University (incoming)
Präsentation: Content Curation in Online Platforms
Abstract: Online platforms like Facebook, Wikipedia, Amazon, and Linkedin are embedded in the very fabric of our society. They “curate content”, moderate, recommend, and monetize it, and, in doing so, can impact people’s lives positively or negatively. In this talk, the sepaker will highlight the need to go beyond how these curation practices are currently designed and tested. He will argue that academic research can and should guide policy and best practices by discussing two projects he worked on during his doctorate. In the first project, the speaker will describe a large natural experiment on Facebook that allowed measuring the causal effect of removing rule-breaking comments on users’ subsequent behavior. In the second project, he will present results on the efficacy of “deplatforming” Parler, a large social media website, on its users’ information diets. Finally, the speaker will discuss future research directions on improving online platforms, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges posed by the popularization of generative AI. Altogether, the work of the speaker indicates that we can improve online platforms—and, by extension, our lives—if we rigorously investigate the causal effect of content curation practices.
Bio: Manoel Horta Ribeiro is an incoming Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Princeton. Previously, he received a PhD in CS from EPFL in Switzerland and an MSc/BSc in CS from UFMG in Brazil. His research focuses on understanding the impact of content moderation, recommender systems, and monetization in online platforms from a computational perspective. His work has been covered in outlets from El País to NBC News, in think tanks like the ICCT, and has shaped products in companies like Meta and Reddit. He is a Meta Computational Social Science Fellow, a Forbes 30 under 30 awardee, and has received awards for his teaching (from EPFL) and his research (from ACM conferences and Altmetrics).

Gastredner: Mats Julius Stensrud, Chair of Biostatistics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne
Präsentation: On Optimal Treatment Regimes Assisted by Algorithms
Abstract: Decision makers desire to implement decision rules that, when applied to individuals in the population of interest, yield the best possible outcomes. For example, the current focus on precision medicine reflects the search for individualized treatment decisions, adapted to a patient's characteristics. In this presentation, the speaker will consider how to formulate, choose and estimate effects that guide individualized treatment decisions. In particular, he will introduce a class of regimes that are guaranteed to outperform conventional optimal regimes in settings with unmeasured confounding. He will further consider how to identify or bound these "superoptimal" regimes and their values. The performance of the superoptimal regimes will be illustrated in two examples from medicine and economics.
