“Enhancing Refugee Resettlement Outcomes Through Algorithmic Solutions” - Šimon Schierreich, Czech Technical University
Date & Time: February 17, 2025 from 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Virtual via Zoom
This event is part of the Young Achievers Symposium series hosted by Penn State's Center for Socially Responsible Artificial Intelligence.
About the Talk
Refugee resettlement has emerged as a critical global issue in recent years. This complex, multi-stage process presents several challenges, and we focus on two key aspects: refugee redistribution and refugee housing. We survey existing algorithms, models, and results that address these issues. Moreover, we discuss the gaps in current research and the practical challenges that must be overcome to deploy these models in real-world scenarios.
About the Speaker
Šimon Schierreich, a doctoral student in the Department of Theoretical Computer Science, Faculty of Information Technology, Czech Technical University in Prague. His research focuses on computational social choice, algorithmic game theory, and collective decision-making. In particular, he is interested in restrictions that make computationally hard problems related to these fields tractable. For the last six months, he has been visiting Penn State as a Fulbright Fellow.
About the Series
The CSRAI Young Achievers Symposium series highlights early career researchers in diverse fields of AI for social impact. The series seeks to focus on emerging research, stimulate discussions, and initiate collaborations that can advance research in artificial intelligence for societal benefit.
Our events and programs are open to all students regardless of sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, or any other protected class. The College of Information Sciences and Technology is committed to building a community of belonging for all.
