Seminar • Artificial Intelligence • An Algorithmic Safety View of Learning in Human-centered Domains

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Shalmali Joshi, Postdoctoral Fellow
Center for Research on Computation and Society, Harvard University

Machine Learning advances have revolutionized many domains such as machine translation, complex game playing, and scientific discovery. On the other hand, ML has only enjoyed modest successes in human-centered applications. To improve the utility, reliability, and robustness of Machine Learning (ML) models in human-centered domains, we need to address several foundational challenges.
