This year's speaker is Bin Yu, the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Statistics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley.

The lecture, titled "Veridical Data Science Towards Trustworthy AI," will explore human judgement's role in the data science life cycle. Yu will introduce how three fundamental principles — predictability, computability and stability — can more clearly identify potential uncertainties and risks in AI algorithms.

🗓️ Friday, Nov. 6
⏰ 2 p.m.
📍 Chemical Sciences Building Auditorium

“Representing Florida State University in the first Cech Fellows class to me is both an honor and a responsibility because now I am representing FSU on the global neuroscience research stage.”

Congratulations to Sebastian Ruiz, a senior in the Florida State University Department of Statistics who was selected for the inaugural cohort of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's competitive Cech Fellows Program!

While at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Research Campus — located just 30 miles outside of Washington, D.C. — Ruiz will investigate how AI can improve our understanding of neural networks.

Ruiz is also one of four FSU students selected this year for the Barry Goldwater Scholarship, a national honor recognizing outstanding students pursuing research careers in the sciences, engineering and mathematics.
