Audrey Durand
Audrey is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Software Engineering department, and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering department, at Université Laval. She is also affiliated with Mila — Quebec AI Institute through a Canada CIFAR AI Chair. She is interested in developing reinforcement learning algorithms that learn by interacting with their environment and leveraging their power in real-world applications. Her research therefore focuses both on analysing such algorithms in order to provide guarantees on their performance and ensuring that they can safely be deployed on the field.

Alona Fyshe
Alona is an Assistant Professor in the Computing Science and Psychology Departments at the University of Alberta. She uses machine learning to analyse brain images collected while people read, which allows her to study how humans represent the meaning they encounter in text, and how they combine words to understand higher-order meaning. Alona also studies how computers learn to represent meaning when trained on text or images. Alona has discovered interesting connections between meaning representations in computer models and those in the human brain. Those connections serve to advance both our understanding of the brain, and the state of the art in machine learning.
