Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor Jesse Hoey has had a curious career trajectory.
His academic life began with an undergraduate degree in physics, followed by a master’s in physical oceanography, then a PhD in computer science with specialization in artificial intelligence. He even had a stint working with occupational therapists as part of his postdoctoral studies, where he applied his expertise in AI to develop assistive technologies for people with dementia.

Axiomatic approaches are an appealing method for designing fair algorithms, as they provide a formal structure for reasoning about and rationalizing individual decisions. However, to make these algorithms useful in practice, their axioms must appropriately capture social norms.
We explore this tension between fairness axioms and socially acceptable decisions in the context of cooperative game theory for the fair division of rewards.

Mark Elendt and Jeff Lait are two Academy Award winning developers at SideFX who have a long history in the industry. They will be discussing the unique challenges involved in developing 3D tools for artists and what it’s like to be a software developer in this very exciting industry.
Media, government, and industry commonly frame security and privacy as diametrically opposed: protecting one requires sacrificing the other.
Privacy, Infrastructures, Policy brought together researchers with international speakers from journalism, national security, academia and the corporate world to challenge these misconceptions. A central thread of each of the talks is the design, implementation, and benefits of privacy-enhancing social and technological infrastructures.
