SUMMARY:Halifax Data Science Meetup – June 2022
DESCRIPTION:Details\nHi everyone\, \nLong time no see!\, we are excited to announce that we are back at organizing Data Science presentations for the benefit of the whole professional\, academic and enthusiastic community! \nWe have two interesting speakers lined up for this coming June! We’ll meet up at 6:00 pm on Wednesday June 8th\, and kick off talks shortly after. \nPizza and refreshments will be provided \n*** \nSpace is limited so be sure to RSVP. Also please cancel your RSVP in case you find you are not coming\, regardless of how close to the meetup date you find out! \n*** \n1.- Generating Refuted Claims and the Importance of Critical Statements in NLP Pipelines \nSpeaker: Domenic Rosati\, Senior Research Scientist\, scite.ai \nBio: Domenic’s research focuses on natural language understanding and reasoning in scientific texts and how to improve scientific discovery and evaluation with AI. \nAbstract: With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT3 that perform at almost human levels without any fine tuning on many NLP (Natural Language Processing) benchmarks\, a new line of research has emerged trying to assess the safety of these models by assessing the factuality and faithfulness of their outputs \nUnfortunately\, LLMs have been shown to be prone to “hallucination” that is they make up claims that are either irrelevant to the task at hand or unfactual. This prevents LLMs from being used in safety critical domains such as Scientific and Medical NLP.\nHowever\, most work has focused on a paradigm of verification of outputs (Gophercite\, WebGPT\, ect.) which has been shown to improve factuality benchmarks only slightly. \nThis talk will review work on improving factuality of LLMs by focusing on the refutation of outputs and why generating testable and critical statements from a model’s outputs is a useful paradigm for improving safe and interpretable deployment of LLMs. \n2.- An Intro to Data for Good \nSpeaker: Michelle Sinville\, Community Lead\, Data for Good Maritimes \nBio: Michelle is an analytical thinker who enjoys using data to tell a story to a variety of audiences. She is an energetic and detail-oriented project scheduling consultant\, specializing in biotech and pharmaceutical projects for Turner & Townsend. Michelle is also committed to building a thriving community through various volunteer initiatives. \nAbstract: Are you looking for a way to use your data science skills for a good cause? Data for Good Maritimes is a branch of Data for Good\, a Toronto-based non-profit that processes the data of other non-profits for free as a charitable service. Michelle will present a number of case studies from our recent projects\, as well as an overview of how we engage with local nonprofits \nSee you there!

As you can imagine\, your security decisions now have huge implications on the likelihood of closing enterprise deals. Join us for a discussion on what enterprises look for when vetting possible tech vendors and the best practices to start implementing so that you stand out against your competition. We’ll also introduce you to vendor security questionnaires: the tool that most enterprises use to weed out their most secure tech vendors from the most risky.

SUMMARY:Hackergal’s 11th National Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Hackergal is a charitable organization that inspires girls across Canada to explore the opportunities in code. \nWith women vastly underrepresented in the tech industry\, Hackergal strives to inspire a new wave of Canadian female coders to bring equality to the booming industry. \nHackergal’s Hackathon Program is designed to encourage learners to achieve their full potential through 6 Future-Ready Competencies. Learning to code and making a difference through technology goes beyond programming knowledge and skills. That’s why these core competencies equip girls with the ability to meet the complex demands of diverse contexts and be successful in their everyday lives and in their future. \nWe believe that every girl can thrive when they are given the opportunity to tell their story and share their voice. We want to champion them along the way!

SUMMARY:Exploring multigenerational workforces in 2022 & beyond (Host: MB)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s workforce is more complex than ever before as aging populations and an economic crisis have resulted in a labour market where five generations coexist. This multigenerational workforce gives rise to unique challenges for organizations in understanding and addressing disparities in values\, needs\, and expectations\, and in creating advancement opportunities for young professionals while recognizing and including older workers. \nResearch conducted by the World Economic Forum\, AARP and OECD found that 83% of global executives agree that multigenerational workforces are key to business growth and success\, and 80% of organizations employ a multigenerational workforce. However\, 53% do not include age in their diversity and inclusion policy and 58% do not provide training or support related to managing a multigenerational workforce. Furthermore\, Deloitte’s 2021 Global Human Capital Trends reported that only 6% of survey respondents strongly agree that their leaders are equipped to effectively lead a multigenerational workforce. \nThe challenges of a multigenerational workforce\, exacerbated by the changes COVID-19 forced on or brought about in the world of work as organizations transformed operational models\, make it difficult for many organizations\, employees\, and job seekers to navigate and succeed in this new complex workforce demographic. \nJoin leaders as they share their personal and organizational initiatives\, experiences and learnings in exploring multigenerational workforces in 2022 & beyond: \n\nSiju Ewhubare\, President & CEO\, Crown Mentorship Foundation\nRhonda Taylor\, CEO\, Career Trek\nTanya Lush\, Director of Workforce Development\, Centre for Ocean Ventures & Entrepreneurship (COVE)\n\nIntroduced by Florence Rousseau\, Director\, Marketing & Communications\, Magnet and moderated by Chantal Brine\, CEO\, EnPoint\, we invite you to the next instalment of the Building Future Ready Communities: Virtual Tour series on May 10th\, 1-2 PM EDT / 2-3 PM ADT for community building and an inspirational panel discussion and Q&A!
