Robert is Professor of Statistics and Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University.</p> <p>He is best known for proposing the ‘lasso’, a sparse regression estimator, and describing its relationship to the idea of boosting in supervised classification.

First up on March 13 was by <strong><a href="https://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~bernhard/">Bernhard Pfahringer</a>, </strong>left, who is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Waikato.</p> <p>He is a member of the Weka project, New Zealand’s other famous open-source data science contribution, and here talks about the design and development of Weka and more recent projects.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><iframe title="Ihaka 2019: Open source Machine Learning @ Waikato" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZZ15V9jRkuY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16402" src="https://www.statschat.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Thomas-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="123" height="185" />Next was supposed to be <a href="https://rviews.rstudio.com/2016/10/12/interview-with-j-j-allaire/">JJ Allaire</a>, the founder and CEO of RStudio, and the author of R interfaces to Tensorflow and Keras. However, ill-health prevented him coming, and our very own Professor <strong>Thomas Lumley</strong> stepped in.</p> <p>Thomas talked entertainingly about deep learning, in particular how deep convolutional nets are structured and how they can be remarkably effective, but can also fail, as he puts it, “in remarkably alien ways”.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Ihaka 2019: Deep learning: why is it deep, and what is it learning?" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pu479rErYlQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16401" src="https://www.statschat.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Lum.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="179" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Following was <a href="http://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2018/03/01/kristian-lum/">Dr Kristian Lum</a>, Lead Statistician at the Human Rights Data Analysis Group. Her research has concretely demonstrated the potential for machine learning-based predictive policing models to reinforce and, in some cases, amplify historical racial biases in law enforcement.</p> <p>She talked about algorithmic fairness, and about ways in which policy, rather than data science, influences the development of these models and their choice over non-algorithmic approaches.</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Ihaka 2019: Algorithmic fairness: Examples from predictive models for criminal justice" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dFfA7VtrAYI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:title="Ihaka Lectures – videos for your viewing pleasure" addthis:url="https://www.statschat.org.nz/2019/03/29/ihaka-lectures-videos-for-your-statistical-viewing-pleasure/"> <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" style="opacity:1;"></a> <a class="addthis_button_tweet" tw:via=""></a> </div> <div class="postlinks"><a href="https://www.statschat.org.nz/2019/03/29/ihaka-lectures-videos-for-your-statistical-viewing-pleasure/#respond"></a></div> </div> <div class="post"> <div class="date">February 19, 2018</div> <h2 class="title"><a href="https://www.statschat.org.nz/2018/02/19/ihaka-lecture-series-live-and-live-streamed-in-march/">Ihaka Lecture Series – live and live-streamed in March</a></h2> <div class="author">By <a href="https://www.statschat.org.nz/author/julie-middleton/" title="Posts by Atakohu Middleton" class="author url fn" rel="author">Atakohu Middleton</a></div> <div class="content"> <p>The theme of this year’s Ihaka Lecture Series is “A thousand words: Visualising statistical data”.

Statschat interviewed Di last year about the woman behind the data work, and it was a <em>very</em> popular read.

Paul was a student when R was being developed by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman, and has been part of the R Core Development team since 1999.</p> <p>On March 21, Alberto Cairo, the Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at the University of Miami (below right) teaches principles so we all become more critical and better informed readers of charts.

Ross, along with Robert Gentleman, co-created R – a statistical programming language now used by the majority of the world’s practicing statisticians. It is hard to over-emphasise the importance of Ross’s contribution to our field, so we named this lecture series in his honour to recognise his work and contributions to our field in perpetuity.</p>
