[EUGAIN] Presentations of the 1st International EUGAIN Summer Training School
Abstract
The 1st edition of the International EUGAIN Summer Training School was held in Lugano, Switzerland on 6-8 June, 2022. It provided early career researchers (PhDs and postdocs) with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of gender balance in Informatics from both research and professional fields. The Trainin School focused on how to conduct research studies. Participants acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to design gender and gender-sensitive studies in Informatics.

Control of Identity Disclosure: The desire to be seen as presented Denae Ford,!Reed Milewicz, Alexander Serebrenik.!How Remote Work Can Foster a More Inclusive Environment for Transgender Developers!Workshop on Gender Equality in Software Engineering, 2019, pp. 9-12 “Stack Overflow has constrained expressions of identity. It’s up to you what content you want to fill in. GitHub for a while it was required you expose your email address to the rest of the world.” Petruzalek: The obvious drawback of not being passable is that you become an instant target. So passability is not only an identity goal, its also a mean of self-preservation 38

Gender & Software •Q: How do these relate? –A: Most software has gender bias “bugs”. •Q: You’re kidding! Where? –A: in the software you create. –A: in the tools you use to do it. •Q: How much does this really matter? –A: a lot! Like a “cognitive tax” you pay every time you hit one of the bugs. 2 more genders? men women
Where do these bugs lurk? •Open Source projects •Programming environments •Spreadsheets •E-Learning •Robots •Mobile Apps •Help Systems •Web Sites •Digital Libraries •… 3

Computer science is as old as science and human civilization. It influenced the entire development of our species. Technology Today Computer science established itself as individual subject when: 1. Algorithms could be formulated well enough such that no improvisation (i.e. intellectual capability) was required for their execution 2. Technology was sufficiently developed such that the execution of algorithms could be delegated to machines The 3 roots of Computer Science What is Computer Science? Information-and data representation Algorithmics and automation
Goals of teaching computer science at school 1. Understanding, steering and contibuting to the development of the world created by humans 2. Fostering key competencies in mathematics and languages 3. Introduce constructive thinking (core to all technical disciplines) to general school education „Let’s bring up inventors and creators of digital technologies, not only their mere consumers.“ “Life is not about having the right answer –or at least it should not be –it is about getting things to work.” Seymour Papert
1. Understanding, steering and contibuting to the development of the world created by humans Why not just leave it to the specialists? •Understanding our surroundings is one of the key responsibilities of education. •In almost all professions, automation of tasks increases. Without knowledge in computer science, children will struggle in their future jobs. In general education, computer science takes on a similar role as mathematics at the time of technical revolution.
“This is not a decision about pedagogic theory but a decision about what citizens of the future need to know… The rapid and accelerating change that marks our times means that every individual will see bigger changes every few years than previous generations saw in a lifetime. So this is the choice we must make for ourselves, for our children, for our countries and for our planet: acquire the skills needed to participate with understanding in the construction what is new OR be resigned to a life of dependency.” Seymour Papert

Ricardo Vinuesa: [email protected], www.vinuesalab.com, @ricardovinuesa 4 Motivation: Success stories of machine learning -Image recongnition, connection with medical applications. ImageNet challenges, classificaiton errors of 2% (humans: 5%). -Predictive text, speech recognition, large-scale data analytics, finance... -IBM DeepBlue supercomputer defeated the worldchampion Kasparov in chess (1997) by bluntly evaluating a wide range of possible moves (bruteforce computing). -The game of Go (moves=250,turns=150) is much more complexthan chess (moves=35,turns=70) mt=10350 vs 10108 -It is not possible to bluntly compute all moves, some sort of intuition to select the best moves is needed.

Based on supervised learning from human expertgames and reinforcement learning it was able to defeat the world-champion Lee Sedol by 4-1. Reuters AlphaGo -AlphaGo Zero2is also based on artificial neural networksand relies only on reinforcement learning playing with itself, without any human input. It defeated the previous version by 100-0. and reached super-human performance. Silver et al. (2017) 1Silver et al., Nature (2016) 2Silver et al., Nature (2017)

Other references however identify AI as an enabler for this goal, in the context of using satellite data analysis to track areas of poverty and to foster international collaboration (2). (1) Nagano, A. Economic growth and automation risks in developing countries due to the transition toward digital modernity. In: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance, Galway (Ireland), 42-50 (2018). (C) (2) Jean, N., Burke, M., Xie, M., Davis, W. M., Lobell, D.

(A) 1.2 By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions 11 Based on the literature, AI may act as an inhibitor towards the achievement of this target, since it may lead to an increase of inequalities (1). Nevertheless, alternative views reflect that AI can enable this goal, through the use of satellite data to track areas of poverty and foster international collaboration (2); through the analysis of data from phone usage in order to predict income levels, with the aim of developing better plans of action (3,4); or using machine learning to predict drought (5).

(A) 1.3 Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable 11 AI may benefit the achievement of this target through the analysis of satellite data to track areas of poverty (1), or assessing data from phone usage to predict income levels and develop plans of action to avoid poverty (2). Some authors, however, claim that the advent of AI will increase economical inequalities, leaving the poor with even less resources (3). Although there is some preliminary research addressing the implementation of policies related to AI (4), this gives raise to a number of derived challenges (5).
