Darema Lecture Series Begins With Georgia Tech's Judy Hoffman
The Illinois Institute of Technology College of Science is pleased to announce the establishment of the Dr. Frederica Darema Lecture Series in Computer Science. This permanent fund will help advance female and minority early-stage computer science researchers at U.S. academic institutions. The lecture series is designed to encourage women and individuals from under-represented groups to pursue academic careers in computer sciences, and focuses on providing speaking opportunities for tenure track assistant professors (or the equivalent) at U.S. institutions in their fourth to sixth year. Lectureships may also be awarded to exceptional junior researchers in U.S. federal or industrial research laboratories in their third to fifth years of career, following doctoral/postdoctoral studies. Artificial Intelligence researcher Judy Hoffman, assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, will be the inaugural guest speaker for the Frederica Darema Lecture Series giving a lecture on "How Dataset Bias Leads to Learned Model Failures."
