A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it. www.science.org/content/blog...

🧵on the CFPB and less discriminatory algorithms. last week, in its supervisory highlights, the Bureau offered a range of impressive new details on how financial institutions should be searching for less discriminatory algorithms.

Engaging discussions on the future of #AI in #healthcare at this week's ICHPS, hosted by @amstatnews.bsky.social. JCHI's @kdpsingh.bsky.social shared insights on the safety & equity of #MachineLearning algorithms and examined bias in large language models.

📣 CANAIRI: the Collaboration for Translational AI Trials! Co lead @xiaoliu.bsky.social @naturemedicine.bsky.social Perhaps most important to AI translation is the local silent trial. Ethically, and from an evidentiary perspective, this is essential! url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/pQSsClx14m...

🪩New paper🪩 (WIP) appearing at @neuripsconf.bsky.social Regulatable ML and Algorithmic Fairness AFME workshop (oral spotlight). In collaboration with @s010n.bsky.social and Manish Raghavan, we explore strategies and fundamental limits in searching for less discriminatory algorithms.

I'm seeking a postdoc to work with me and @kenholstein.bsky.social on evaluating AI/ML decision support for human experts: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/12/10/p... P.S. I'll be at NeurIPS Thurs-Mon. Happy to talk about this position or related mutual interests! Please repost 🙏

There is just about a month left before the abstract deadline for @facct.bsky.social 2025🥳😳🙈. Really looking forward to seeing all the submissions. If you are submitting, don’t forget to check out the Author Guide (and the reviewer and AC guide as well). facctconference.org/2025/aguide

My group is hiring postdoc(s) and I will be at #NeurIPS2024 if you want to talk - send me a DM or find me on Whova! UK-based, 2 year position. We work on AI/ML for health, specifically building and *understanding/explaining* deep (multimodal) models on healthcare data, especially medical imaging.

“Denied by AI,” the multi-part STAT News investigation of how #UnitedHealthcare used an opaque algorithmic system to deny care to people who needed it is a #mustread www.statnews.com/2023/03/13/m...

I'm looking for a postdoc with Dr. Danaë @metaxa.net (U. Penn) to work on civil rights AI audits! Is that you or someone you know? Help us find someone awesome! Details and contact info here: metaxa.net/postdoc

Introducing scE2G: a new model to link enhancers to target genes using single-cell data. Excited that scE2G will enable building enhancer maps in hundreds of cell types in the human body! Wonderful collaboration with @randersson.bsky.social @613weilin.bsky.social @mayayayas.bsky.social Thread👇

I tried to find everyone who works in the area but I certainly missed some folks so please lmk... go.bsky.app/BYkRryU

Couldn't find a machine learning for health starter pack so I made one.  DM/Reply if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/PJKJ8vK

I heard bluesky likes links. So here is a link to a book I’m writing. github.com/NannyML/The-...

Ok #FAccT folks - I'm still looking around for people. Who am I missing? go.bsky.app/EQF5Ne1
