However, it is notoriously difficult to study, given the dynamic and multimodal (e.g., audio, verbal, and visual) nature of the interactions. Modern sensors and the computational capability offered by AI/machine learning allow us to process and analyze fine-grained multimodal interaction data at a large scale. In this talk, I will share two studies that characterize and model parent-child interactions using audio/video data recordings, one in math education and another in early childhood parenting intervention contexts. I will discuss the various analytical methods used to derive insights and the implications for designing AI-supported coaching systems for realizing societal impacts at a large scale. I will also examine the challenges of working with multimodal interaction data.</div><div><br></div><div><strong><a href="https://flourish.umbc.edu/karen-chen/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lujie Karen Chen</a> </strong>is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Systems at UMBC, where she leads the <strong><a href="https://flourish.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Laboratory for Informatics for Human Flourishing</a></strong>.

Able to work with diverse text in these domains, large language models (LLMs) have proven capable of answering questions and solving problems. In this talk, I demonstrate that end-to-end LLMs still systematically fail on reasoning tasks of complex events. Moreover, their black-box nature gives rise to little interpretability and user control. To address these issues, I propose two general approaches to use LLMs in conjunction with a structured representation of events. The first is a language-based representation involving relations of sub-events that can be learned by LLMs via fine-tuning. The second is a symbolic representation involving states of entities that can be leveraged by either LLMs or deterministic solvers. On a suite of event reasoning tasks, I show that both approaches outperform end-to-end LLMs in terms of performance and trustworthiness.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://zharry29.github.io/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Li "Harry" Zhang</strong></a> is a 5th-year PhD student working on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania advised by Prof. Chris Callison-Burch.

Presently, CAPTCHAs are a fundamental part of securing the Internet. Unexpectedly, ChatGPT can already solve many real-world CAPTCHAs. Therefore, these AI developments result in an unforeseen problem where AIs are almost indistinguishable from real humans on the Internet. The need for advanced CAPTCHAs that can effectively thwart automated attacks has never been more critical. GotCHA is exploring short games that enhance security and contribute to the overall user experience, turning a traditionally tedious task into an engaging interaction. GotCHA's team includes a former developer from the famous Crash Bandicoot video game and a storyboard artist connected with the popular show Rick &amp; Morty. This talk will highlight the significance of the need for new CAPTCHAs with the latest AI advancements to stay ahead of malicious bots.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/myaksetig/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mario Yaksetig</a> is an applied cryptographer who thrives at the intersection of privacy and the intricate world of cryptographic protocols. Mario started his cryptography journey at UMBC under Professor Alan Sherman, notable student of cryptography icon Ron Rivest. He then worked alongside David Chaum, the creator of digital cash, blind signatures, and mix networks. While working with Chaum, Mario has created multiple state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols. Recently, Vitalik Buterin, one of the creators of Ethereum, has cited some of his work on ZK-rollups. Mario's latest paper exposes a sublinear forgeability attack on a post-quantum signature scheme created by Vitalik Buterin.
