TOWn haLL: Friday 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm (Open TO eVeryOne) WOrkshOp sessiOn: saTurday 8:00 am – 4:00 pm (FOr Teachers OnLy) reGency baLLrOOm Vi K-12 Computing Teachers Workshop spOnsOred by ibm and The mOTOrOLa FOundaTiOn Be part of the solution! Be part of the community! We know at Hopper there are many in our community who care passionately about education. This year we are creating even more opportunities for teachers, faculty, researchers and industry to discuss the issues and how each individual has the potential for transformative action. So bring your curiosity, commitment, and conversation to the following events: Town Hall Meeting: Bridging Boundaries and Creating Capacity: Engaging Stakeholders to Address Equity in K12 Computing (Open to all attendees) This town hall is focused on bringing the broader community together to address the critical equity issues in computer science education. In order to build solutions we need to really understand the problems but too often, we get mired in despair or celebrate victories that never really make a difference. This event is about finding each other and finding real solutions that impact real classrooms and real kids. It is about real questions such as: • How do we communicate more effectively? • What does real help look like? • What do teachers need right now? • How can faculty, researchers, and industry women help on an organizational or individual level? Saturday Teacher Workshop: Overcoming Barriers, Boundaries, and Bad News (by invitation Only) The Anita Borg Institute (ABI) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) are hosting a K-12 Computing Teachers Workshop. This workshop will build upon the equity issue discussions from the inaugural workshop in 2009 which culminated in the creation of a white paper entitled “Addressing Core Equity Issues in K-12 Computer Science Education: Identifying Barriers and Sharing Strategies.” Workshop sessions include: • Adding Social Relevance to Curriculum and Professional Development • Alice Programming • Modeling and Simulation • Open Source • Social Networking • Teacher Leadership and Advocacy • Teaching Computer Science with Toys • Update on the new AP Computer Science Course For more information, please visit the Grace Hopper Website. 72 Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology | Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing
Invited Technical Speakers Thursday sessiOn 1, 10:00 am – 11:00 am hanOVer ab Claudia Bauzer Medeiros Professor, Institute of Computing – University of Campinas, Brazil Managing Scientific Data: Coping with a Multidisciplinary World Scientists from all domains have something in common – they must continuously analyze data to conduct their research, in what has become known as “data-centric science”. The volume of data involved is usually very large, e.g., when astronomers conduct sky surveys or chemists run simulations on chemical compounds. In other situations, data can be also scarce, e.g., when archaeologists discover prehistoric human bones or biologists study a rare species. Whether in large or small volumes, rare or common, scientific data usually comes in many formats and from very many sources. Its management involves experts from distinct domains, working in interdisciplinary and multi-institutional teams. A challenge for computer scientists is to design new methods and algorithms and construct software and hardware tools to help these scientists from other domains to manage, analyze and visualize their data. This, in turn, has brought about the need for a new kind of training for computer scientists who must learn how to work in a multidisciplinary world, and deal with a variety of domain-specific requirements. The talk will give an overview of some of the challenges of conducting computer science research in this new scenario. It will concentrate on the new skills required (technical and social), with examples from several scientific fields, followed by a case study in agricultural planning. About Claudia Bauzer Medeiros Claudia Bauzer Medeiros, PhD, is a full professor of Computer Science at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. She has received several awards for research, teaching, and her work concerning women and IT – including the 2006 Anita Borg Change Agent Award, and in 2008 Google Brazil’s Women in Technology Award. She is the ACM-W ambassador in Brazil, and was the president of the Brazilian Computer Society for 4 years (2003-2007). Her research is centered on the design and construction of scientific databases, to help scientists work with large volumes of heterogeneous data. She has led several multi-institutional and multidisciplinary projects in Brazil, with emphasis in the development of tools, techniques and methodologies to support agro-environmental planning and biodiversity studies. She has served in leadership positions for several Brazilian government initiatives on computer science research and education. She holds a Dr. Honoris Causa from University Antenor Orrego, Peru. In 2008, she was awarded the Brazilian Order of Scientific Merit (grade Commander). Thursday sessiOn 2, 11:15 am – 12:15 pm hanOVer ab Catherine Baudin Research Scientist, eBay Research Lab E-commerce Intelligence: The Art of Mining Semi-Structured Marketplaces E-commerce sites vary in the degree of structure of the data that are being generated and in the scope of the technologies that can be used to search and analyze these data. Merchants who operate e-commerce sites to sell from their own inventory control the way it is described and organized, and generally use a common identity structure, with model numbers in catalogs. In these database-like worlds, buyers can search for products using many criteria, and the merchants can analyze their inventory or even harness the power of the crowd to forecast user demand based on what similar users have bought. By contrast, a global marketplace like eBay connects buyers with sellers of all sizes, locations and expertise, from professional power sellers to mom-and-pop shops and one-time individual vendors. Sellers from all venues create their own ads for products ranging from electronics, to clothing, collectibles, or art. Such global marketplaces share characteristics with both merchant sites and online communities, and generate a flurry of data: product descriptions, purchasing transactions, seller feedbacks, opinions in discussion forums, and user query logs. Improving search or extracting e-commerce intelligence in such a semi-structured environment is a special challenge, requiring the craft of selecting the right data, extracting the right features, efficient parallel processing and clever engineering as much as statistics or machine learning algorithms. I will describe tools for mining product descriptions, user queries and session logs in order to understand and improve buyer and seller experience on the site. About Catherine Baudin Catherine is a research scientist at the eBay Research Lab. Her main research interests are: text mining – particularly knowledge extraction/discovery from text in sources such as blogs and discussion forums, queries and log analysis, vertical search, and user studies to assess the impact of these technologies on people’s lives. At eBay she is involved in: session log analysis to study queries and fuel the design of ecommerce components, the implementation of efficient search metrics for shopping sites, and pattern identification for fraud analysis. Prior to joining eBay Catherine was the CTO of Kaidara inc where she designed technologies to analyze and retrieve customer data for the automotive, high tech and pharmaceutical industry. She was a senior computer scientist at PriceWaterhouseCoopers technology center for five years and a principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Center for six. She is the author of a number of numerous peer reviewed papers along with some book chapters and patents. She holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Paris VI France.
