in englischer Sprache”Liberty & Security” – these are the two perspectives the Technology Symposium will explore this year to approach the rapid changes that are happening in technology and society. By connecting everything, the Internet has created unexpected liberties, promising universal information and education for all, but has also shown its dark side with cybercrime, mobbing or the targeted manipulation of information. Now the Internet of Things enhances our senses, smart assistants and robots supported by artificial intelligence relieve us of tedious work; 3D printers even enable us to create novel things by ourselves. “Discussing Technology”, the Technology Symposium’s yearbook, this year titled “Cyber Security”, will also engage with these topics. So how do we want to shape this digital world? The Technology Symposium will attempt to find answers. At the same time, we present an exciting accompanying exhibition that bridges the gap from art to technology.

Anne-Marie CHUN WITT
Head, Product Marketing and Government Programmes, Synack, Inc., Redwood City, CA
| Anne-Marie Chun Witt leads the product marketing organization at Synack, the most trusted Crowdsourced Security Testing Platform and Gartner Cool Vendor / four-time CNBC Disruptor winner. In this role, she is responsible for the strategy and go-to-market of the industry's only security testing platform to seamlessly integrate Human Intelligence (HI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Anne-Marie also serves on the leadership team of the Synack Government business, which she launched in 2016 alongside the landmark Hack the Pentagon program with the U.S. Department of Defense. Since 2016, she has worked with government agencies to increase adoption of crowdsourced security by 15x. Previously, Anne-Marie has held product and marketing positions at various Silicon Valley companies, including her role as a founding member of the Splunk data practice team. She holds a BA with Honors in International Relations from Stanford University and an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was a Wharton Lauder Fellow. |
Dr. Sepp HOCHREITER
Professor and Head, Institute for Machine Learning, Johannes Kepler University Linz
| Sepp Hochreiter leitet das Institut für Machine Learning, das LIT AI Lab und das Audi.JKU Deep Learning Center der Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz. Er forscht auf dem Gebiet des maschinellen Lernens und ist ein Pionier des boomenden Forschungsfeldes Deep Learning, das gerade die künstliche Intelligenz revolutioniert. Bekannt wurde Prof. Hochreiter durch die Entdeckung und Entwicklung von "Long Short Term Memory" (LSTM) in seiner Diplomarbeit im Jahre 1991, welche später 1997 publiziert wurde. In jüngster Zeit hat sich LSTM zur besten Methode für Sprach- und Textverarbeitung entwickelt, wo es neue Rekorde aufstellte. Seit 2012 wird LSTM in Google’s Android Spracherkenner verwendet, seit 2015 in Google’s Voice Transcription, seit 2016 in Google’S Allo und auch seit 2016 in Apple’s iOS 10. Zurzeit treibt Prof. Hochreiter die theoretischen Grundlagen von Deep Learning voran, indem er den Gradientenfluss durch neuronale Netze analysiert, das Konzept von "Self-Normalizing Networks" entwickelt und "Generative Adversarial Networks" (GANs) sowie "Reinforcement"-Algorithmen verbessert. Derzeitige Projekte umfassen Deep Learning für Medikamentenentwicklung, für Text- und Sprachanalyse, für Bildverarbeitung und im speziellen für autonomes Fahren. |
Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Stefan MANGARD
Professor of Security and Cloud Computing, Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications, Graz University of Technology, Graz
| Stefan Mangard is professor at the Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications at Graz University of Technology.
