[ Inaudible ]
>> Okay, everyone.
We're going to get started so go ahead and find a seat and we'll get going.
[ Inaudible ]
>> So good afternoon.
Let's try that again, good afternoon.
[ Inaudible ]
Hey, that's wonderful.
So I'm Hillary Baker.
I'm the Vice President for Information Technology and I'm thrilled that you all are here today.
It's actually one of my favorite days of the year.
And so it is wonderful to see so many of you students here today.
It's wonderful, exciting, and here we are at the 2018 Artificial Intelligence AI Jam
Showcase.
Many of you have spent many of your working hours over the last few weeks really preparing
for this moment.
And I, for one, and I think all of us would say that we're just thrilled to walk around
the room and see the amazing work that our talented CSUN students have been doing today.
So before we get to the announcing the winners, I do have the privilege of thanking a few
people ahead of announcing the awards.
So bear with me as we do that.
I want to start by acknowledging the AI Jam judges, many of whom are down here in the
front.
These judges really gave their time and experience to review and score the student submissions.
They include CSUN faculty and staff, and artificial intelligence industry experts.
And so I'd like to ask all of the AI Jam judges to please stand up and be acknowledged by
us all.
[ Applause ]
Thank you all.
This year we worked very closely with the Research and Graduate Studies group across
campus who helped connect many of you students with faculty members who had submitted project
ideas for the research track part of the competition.
And so although he had to leave, I really want to thank Crist Khachikian, Sherry Nixon,
and Erika Reyes for their contribution and support through the competition.
So, as I said, I think they all had to leave but I wanted -- oh, no [inaudible].
Stand up, stand up, please, please, please.
[ Applause ]
It was a pleasure working with you all today so thank you for doing that over the last
month.
And it really, it was exciting for us to see the research track and you were a large part
of making that happen so thank you.
Michael Diamond couldn't be here today but most of you were fortunate to hear Michael
Diamond from NVIDIA speak at the kick-off opening showcase beginning event.
And really he has such an inspirational view of the AI future.
It was exciting for us to have him here.
As you know, he presented CSUN with an NVIDIA TITAN X graphics card so I was holding that
really lovingly during the kick-off opener.
And but I wanted to let you know if you didn't all know, it is installed.
It is available for any of you to come and use.
We, the only delay is that we had to buy a special computer to use it with the [inaudible]
card but it is all set up and ready to use and really would encourage those of you because
you are the students that really, you all, there was that sort of murmur when he gave
it to me.
So you all knew what that card could do so really would encourage any of you that are
interested to come on by and try that out.
In addition to NVIDIA's involvement, we were also really fortunate to having so many of
our CSUN technology vendors with us over the last months or so.
They really helped many of the student teams with workshops, with resources.
Some of them really mentored some of the teams.
And so our thanks in addition to NVIDIA, with Amazon, with IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle, and
I know [Inaudible] is here from IBM.
Are our Microsoft team here today, too?
Yes.
So, [Inaudible], thank you from IBM, and thanks to all of our vendors and I will let them
know that you all applaud, so please do.
[ Applause ]
And then last, but absolutely by no means least, I'd like to acknowledge the work of
the faculty technology center team led by Associate VP Deone Zell, along wth Mariano
Lozas Carr [assumed spelling], and Hannah Luna who really led this effort, but in addition
to the whole of the faculty technology center team and others from the IT staff.
So all of you that are part of that, this is your moment.
Stand, wave, because some of you are already standing at the back.
Kudos.
[ Applause ]
So kudos to you all, just an amazing, there's more that goes on behind the scenes to this
and to some of you that as I was wandering around and asked about the process over the
last four weeks, so many of you mentioned the Canvas work, and the access to some of
the other resources, and so it really, it shows to many of you but there's a lot that
happens behind the scenes.
So.
So now to the team winners.
So three team from the innovation track and three teams from the research track will win
prizes today.
Winners from the innovation track will receive the opportunity to participate in CSUN's Innovation
Incubator and join I-Corps, the NSF funded program to determine the viability of the
team's idea on the commercial market.
So I'd like to invite Deone Zell and Tim Tiemann, who's the managing director of the CSUN's
Innovation Incubator, to join me down front here as we acknowledge the innovation track
winners.
So the third place innovation winner is the AI Columba team.
Come on down.
[ Applause ]
[ Inaudible ]
>> Congratulations.
>> So we'll give you more pins for the rest of your team.
So how many are there?
>> There are five total supporting.
>> Right.
Right.
Right.
[ Laughter ]
So.
You need me to.
[ Laughter ]
That's okay.
We'll do some [inaudible] at the end.
So that sounds great.
[ Applause ]
So, Deone, come on over in front of the thing.
That sounds good.
So the second place innovation winner is Deaf Connect.
[ Applause ]
There we go.
So let's come on down in front of, you need to be in front of the [inaudible].
Thank you.
Thank you.
>> Mm-hmm.
[ Applause ]
And the, drum roll, right.
The, very nice, very nice.
The first place innovation winner is the AI Migo [phonetic spelling] or Amigo.
Come on down.
[ Applause ]
[ Inaudible ]
>> Congratulations.
[ Inaudible ]
>> Oh, thank you.
>> Thank you.
[ Applause ]
>> So we, all of you know, or most of you know that all of the participants were required
to submit a two-minute video as part of this and so, although we will make many of the
videos, if not all, available, we like to show the winning ones here.
So we're going to show your winning video.
So here you go.
[ Inaudible ]
[ Music ]
>> We used artificial intelligence in a way that we could help students to build their
career.
So Team Amigos, we tried to make something that was personal for students to have an
emotional connection to and anyone who is interacting with our [inaudible] which is
called Cinthy.
>> By incorporating Cindy with a character that's identifiable with many students, the
students can rely on her for many different questions.
>> And we also wanted to form an environment, a learning environment where it's more fun
and interactive, more like a game.
>> Our plan in getting the app to the student out there is going to be using Facebook.
I believe most of us have the Facebook app on their phone.
>> They're going to have it available to them on their phones and they're going to be able
to ask questions and it's going to be able to respond to them with the answers that they
are looking for.
>> I think the values that it adds is convenience innovation and that's a must in our world
today because we have to keep innovating ourselves and try to keep students up-to-date with the
new technology that's out there.
>> I think Cinthy will offer to enhance students' everyday life by being something that is accessible.
So if a student is too busy or does not have the time for whatever to go to the Career
Center, Cinthy offers a service that is quick, and accessible, and in two different languages.
>> So currently we do have English and Spanish which is what I think would help us to get
off from the ground.
We do have a great availability that we can apply it to, such as the Hispanic community.
They're one of the biggest communities that we have on campus so we can actually help
them out by giving them this access.
>> I'd say about 80% of our app is already done.
Right now we have Dress for Success as a module for our users to go through and learn some
tips.
>> As for ideation, we do want to have something a bit more ambitious with Cinthy.
We want to offer more tutorials for students and we also want to incorporate Cinthy into
multiple different elements of the Career Center.
But as for what is developed, we have quite a bit done.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
[ Music ]
[ Applause ]
>> That's wonderful.
Congratulations.
>> Thank you.
>> So next we move over to the Research category where students were challenged to solve a
research problem posed by faculty.
Winner of the Research track will receive funds from research and sponsored programs
to work with the faculty member on a research project.
So I'd like to invite Deone to come on down.
We were going to have Crist join.
He had to leave early and so, Deone, you and I will award these.
So the third place Research winner is the Helia Nutrition and Health team.
Come on down.
[ Applause ]
[ Inaudible ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Inaudible ]
>>Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
[ Applause ]
And the second place Research winner is the AI Adventurers.
Come on down.
[ Applause ]
Congratulations.
>> Thank you.
[ Inaudible ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Inaudible ]
[ Applause ]
>> And the first place Research winner is the KLab's Butterflies.
Come on down.
[ Applause ]
Without robots, right.
[ Applause ]
[ Inaudible ]
So.
[ Applause ]
So let's watch their video.
[ Music ]
>> 2015 NIH study shows that the prevalence of learning disabilities in children is around
five percent.
That number is constantly growing.
To deal with the increasing number of children with behavioral and learning challenges, we
need to provide practical training for professional caregivers.
Currently we are seeing a lack of opportunities for paraprofessionals to practice evidence-based
caregiving strategies in a safe environment.
Our goal is to use artificial intelligence to create a training simulation for caregivers
and parents who are dealing children with learning and behavior challenges.
This is our autonomous humanoid robot, Maybe [phonetic spelling], who acts as our child.
Maybe runs on the Python-based application, Choregraphe.
Similar to IBM's Watson, Choregraphe is capable of object recognition, text to speech, and
speech to text.
Using these services and more, we have created an artificially intelligent robot.
For this project we used supervised learning to teach Maybe object recognition similar
to children studying with flashcards.
When a caregiver works with Maybe, they will find that his goal is to acquire physical
affection.
Every time his caregiver gives him attention, he will adjust his behavior to get more of
the much needed physical attention.
Through exposure to Maybe's tantrums, caregivers will become more confident when dealing with
other children with similar problem behaviors which benefits everyone.
[ Child's Tantrum Sounds ]
Today programs similar to Choregraphe are being used by educators, researchers, and
hospitality services.
Unfortunately, the technology required to manufacture and distribute these physical
robots to mental health professionals is not yet financially viable.
However, based on the growth of personal computers and cell phones, we expect to see a shift
in distribution.
We are KLab and this now.
[ Applause ]
>> Congratulations.
So this concludes CSUN's AI Jam 2018.
I'd like to invite the winning teams to come on down just for one more set of photos.
But I really want to thank all of you, judges, and students, all the staff that were involved
for being part of CSUN's AI Jam 2018.
It's been a wonderful month, exhilarating to watch and be a part of I hope, too.
And congratulations to all our students.
Come back again 2019.
Cheers.
