Title: Evolutionary Computation and Decision Making in Unsupervised Learning

Abstract: Despite advances in AutoML, humans, and domain expertise held by humans, continue to be instrumental to success in most machine learning applications. The development of machine learning pipelines is typically approached in a highly iterative fashion, highlighting the importance of repeated human input in arriving at model designs that help capture the essence, and practicalities, of a given learning problem. This talk will discuss the potential of evolutionary computation in supporting decision making for unsupervised learning problems, considering opportunities for both automated and interactive decisions.
