SUMMARY:AI Legal Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Practical workshop for the legal sector \nDate: Thursday 26th September 2019\nVenue: The Hartree Centre\, Sci-Tech Daresbury\, Cheshire\, WA4 4AD\nRegistration: 8.30am – 10.30am  \nFree to CNWLS Members \nAre you using AI or data science to enhance your legal practice? Want to increase productivity\, validate decisions and save time and money? Not sure where to start or where you could go next? \nThis workshop focuses on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science can enhance the legal sector\, where we will walk you through our established tools and techniques across a number of key legal tasks.  These include building systems that learn to extract information from case documents\, automated redaction of specific elements of text\, modelling regulations and directives for compliance and other complex tasks\, and automated decision-making systems that model the judgements of domain experts. \nExample applications could include: \n\nRemoval of personal identifiable information to enable GDPR compliance\nLegal compliance with specific business practices\, such as customer checking for financial industries\nAnalysis of existing documents to check compliance with new regulations or legislation within a sector i.e. new import rules for goods from the EU\n\nAs experts in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies\, we are experienced in combining techniques such as machine learning\, natural language processing and knowledge engineering technologies to draw insights from all forms of structured and unstructured data sets of all sizes. This could be images\, documents\, databases\, social media feeds\, websites and more. \nAbout the Hartree Centre\nThe Hartree Centre sits within the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and UK Research & Innovation\, which falls under the Department for Business\, Energy & Industrial Strategy Our remit from the UK Government is to accelerate the adoption of High Performance Computing\, Big Data and Cognitive Technologies to UK businesses. \nHigh performance computing – involves modelling and simulation to create a digital version\, a digital twin\, which enables us to make predictions and optimise designs and by doing so\, we can dramatically reduce the design phase and time to market. \n\nBig data analytics – involves taking unstructured data\, whether its geospatial information\, text or streaming data from sensors\, and creating actionable insight from that data.\nCognitive technologies – are a learning and adaptive form of Artificial Intelligence.  They enable machines to interact with humans in a more natural way\, they learn at scale and reason with purpose. Cognitive technologies such as machine learning and deep learning are key to drawing rational conclusions from the right data\, so you can implement decisions with confidence.    \nWe are 100% focussed on collaborative R&D..\n  We have over 170 computational scientists\, which include; engineers\, chemists\, life scientists and mathematicians who have a real understanding of the underlying physics and science behind challenges\, and know how to use a supercomputer.\n We also have software developers who are essentially optimising computer scientists\, who write and optimise codes to be efficient on our machines and the data scientists who are able to manage and draw insight out of large unstructured data sets.\n We can facilitate access to Government grant funding\, which can finance between 50% and 70% of the collaborative R&D costs.\n\nDetails and bookings\nFor more information\, click here.

We expect to arrive back in West Kirby around 1pm. \nCome along \nIf you would like to take part in the walk please email Carol.Draycott@law.ac.uk with details of how many people are in your party so numbers can be managed and we know who to expect on the day. \nWhat to wear – advice from friends of Hilbre Island \nAlways dress appropriately according to the local weather conditions. \nWear sensible footwear as rocks\, barnacles and slippy seaweed can cause injury. There might be broken glass to look out for. Even when the tide is out the beach can be wet and there are rock pools on the islands – don’t wear your best shoes. \nFurther details about walking to Hilbre Island can be found at the following link: \nhttps://www.hilbreisland.co.uk/getting-there/

SUMMARY:Male Champions For Change Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:EVENT POSTPONED – NEW DETAILS TO FOLLOW\nGender Equality in the Legal Profession\nFree to all legal professionals \n\nThe National Law Society continues to look at the issue of gender equality in the legal profession.
