SUMMARY:Cary Library: How AI Remembers\, Imagines\, and Creates
DESCRIPTION:Event Registration: https://youthsteaminitiative.org/haixunwangtalk.html \nHow AI Remembers\, Imagines\, and Creates\nTuesday\, September 1 7:00—8:30 PM\nLarge Meeting RoomCary Memorial Library1874 Massachusetts Avenue\, Lexington\, MA\, 02420\nHow do people use memories to imagine something new—and can AI do the same? \nIn this talk\, Dr. Haixun Wang will explain\, in everyday language\, how memory\, imagination\, and creativity may be connected. People often create new ideas by recognizing patterns in past experiences and applying them in new situations. Modern AI systems attempt something similar\, but they still struggle to produce stories and ideas with the depth\, flexibility\, and originality of human creativity. \nUsing familiar examples\, Dr. Wang will discuss how AI retrieves information\, makes analogies\, and generates new content. He will also explore why AI-generated writing can sometimes feel repetitive or flat\, and how future AI systems and agents might become more thoughtful\, creative\, and useful. \nNo technical background is required. The talk is intended for anyone interested in how AI works and how it may shape the future of human creativity. \nAttendance is on a first-come basis. Registering below allows us to plan for headcount and keep you updated in case of any changes. \nAbout our speaker: \nHaixun Wang is an ACM Fellow\, IEEE Fellow\, Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin\, a trustee on the board of VLDB\, and an affiliate professor at the University of Washington. He is currently the VP of Engineering and Head of AI at EvenUp\, where he focuses on leveraging LLMs and generative AI for legal and medical document understanding and generation\, building Copilot-like support for lawyers\, and advancing litigation workflows. Prior to EvenUp\, he held leadership roles in AI\, applied science\, NLP\, and knowledge bases at Instacart\, WeWork\, Amazon\, and Meta. Before that\, he was a researcher in the labs of Microsoft\, Google\, and IBM. Dr. Wang has published over 200 research papers in top international journals and conference proceedings. His work has been recognized with several prestigious awards\, including the 10-Year ICDE Influential Paper Award (2024)\, the ICDE Best Paper Award (2015)\, the ICDM 10-Year Best Paper Award (2013)\, and the Best Paper Award at ER (2009). \nPresented in partnership with the Youth STEAM Initiative (YSI ) and UMass Boston. \nYSI is a nonprofit organization 5013c founded by Wei Ding during the Covid pandemic to provide free mentorship to students and free computational and arts services to our local communities. \nThis program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion of the Black Patriots of Lexington: Venus Roe
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day\, aka Quock Walker Day \nQuock Walker was enslaved in Barre\, MA. His 1781 civil lawsuit for battery led to the 1783 criminal case that ended slavery in Massachusetts. Venus Roe was enslaved by Jonas Roe in Lexington. At about three years old\, she was gifted to Smitheren Reed of Woburn District. Venus Roe was emancipated in the wake of the third Quock Walker case\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Nathaniel Jennison. \nJoin the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL) and Cary Library for a virtual screening of the Venus Roe episode of the Black Patriots of Lexington YouTube series\, a co-production of ABCL\, LexMedia and Tricons 2 Red Tails. The Black Patriots of Lexington is a nine-part series where Sean D. Osborne has conversations with acclaimed historians\, reenactors and educators to provide insights into 11 Black patriots who played significant roles in the American Revolution. Five of those patriots were active combatants on April 19\, 1775. Three of those soldiers were Lexington residents\, and two were Afro-Indigenous soldiers from Natick who fired on retreating British Regulars near the Lexington Green. \nIn the Venus Roe episode\, public historian Margaret Micholet and curator Stacey Fraser present the unique viewpoint of Venus Roe\, who was an enslaved servant at the home of Smitheren Reed and Captain James Reed of Woburn District (now Burlington). On April 19\, 1775\, the Reed home sheltered John Hancock and Samuel Adams and served as a temporary prison for up to twelve British Regulars. \nA Q&A will follow with Stacey Fraser\, Margaret Micholet and Sean D. Osborne. \nRegistration is required. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL).
