Dr. @hemant_pt presented a kick-off talk on #HumanCenteredAI for Emergency Communications at the WG-Communications group under the 'Global Initiative on Resilience to Natural Hazards through AI Solutions' of UN Agencies. check them: itu.int/en/ITU-T/extcoop/ai4… #AIforSocialGood
Excited to present at the @ITU Global Initiative on Resilience -- @wayasas @hemant_pt shared a use-case of Infrastructure Risk Forecasting using Citizen Sensing & Physical Sensing Data Streams for human-centered AI-empowered Disaster Response!
Congratulations to Hossein & Anuridhi for getting their paper accepted on Bias Mitigation in Scam Detection Models, as well as receiving student fellowship to attend and present it #IEEETPS2024 #InclusiveAI
Our lab had extensive engagement at #IEEETPS2024 we coordinated an engaging workshop on #InclusiveAI for #Cybersecurity along the direction of NSF SaTC and CCI projects, with a keynote, discussion on future research needs, and paper presentations.
Are you working on / interested in how inclusion challenges of AI can contribute to #Cybersecurity such as detecting targeted scams for elderly populations? Join us at the upcoming #IEEE_TPS_2024 workshop and submit a paper to present at #InclusiveAI mason.gmu.edu/~hpurohit/even…
