The swelling panic and its impact on the economy are not aggravated so much by the spread of coronavirus as the avalanche of information in the media and social networks that sweeps away everything in its path. Empty store shelves, toilet paper frenzy, overpriced hygiene products and face masks and rising social tensions are the consequences of too much bad news. There is some good news, too, but everyone seems oblivious to it.
Journalists, a psychologist, an economist and a biologist will talk about why we get easily upset by bad news and ignore good news, how this affects the decision making and the economy during a crisis and what can be done about it.
Moderator: Alexander Chernov, Senior Vice President for External Communications and Advertising, Skolkovo Foundation
Speakers:
Svetlana Zykova, Editor-in-Chief, RusBase
Elena Novoselova, a psychologist with twenty years work experience, a columnist, and presenter of the Novoselova-Time feature at Serebryany Dozhd radio
Yulia Sapronova, director of the RBK production center
Oleg Shibanov, PhD LBS, Director of the Financial Technologies and Digital Economics Research Center at SKOLKOVO-NES
Dmitry Kulish, Professor of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Skoltech
Online lecture by professor Maxim Fedorov: “Artificial Intelligence vs COVID-19″
Skoltech professor Maxim Fedorov will deliver an online lecture about the role of AI in combatting COVID-19 and share some news from the field.
Scientists and doctors around the globe rely on trailblazing technology and AI in their struggle to create drugs and vaccines for the deadly virus.
Over the last hundred years, humankind has created a whole panoply of drugs for any imaginable illness. Could any of them kill СOVID-19? Or would it be better to synthesize a new molecule and wait until it passes clinical trials even if it takes more time and effort? How do scientists use AI to deal with the challenge? Will AI help make effective management decisions and lighten the burden on the healthcare system?
Scientists at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) are working hard on ways to stop the pandemic, enhancing their research with AI, Deep Learning and Big Data technology. For more details, watch the online lecture on Leader ID.
Maxim Fedorov is Director and Full Professor at the Skoltech Center for Computational and Data-Intensive Science and Engineering (CDISE). Maxim holds a PhD (Candidate of Science) degree in Physics and Mathematics and a Doctor of Science degree in Physical Chemistry from RAS. His research interests include computational molecular engineering, Big Data technology and molecular informatics, AI, and supercomputer design of complex molecular systems. Maxim is an author of over 100 publications and a holder of two patents.
Online seminar: “High performance computing & Big data processing: how it works and how it will develop”
There are never too many good webinars! Especially if they are dedicated to supercomputers and big data.
On April 24, Skoltech professor Sergei Rykovanov invites everyone to an online lecture. Sergei will tell you what supercomputers learned after completing a gaming career in Go and how machines are used in solving interdisciplinary problems at the intersection of machine learning, data science and mathematical modeling.
By the way, we’ll also talk Skoltech’s masters and PhD programs, where students have access to one of the most powerful supercomputers in Russia.
