Please join us for this year's DeepMath conference on the mathematics and science of neural networks! We are putting together a great group of speakers on topics of neuroscience, math, engineering, and bias/fairness

just processing the news that our paper "The Values Encoded in Machine Learning" has been awarded the best paper at #FAccT22 and absolutely speechless grateful for the team 💜

Evaluating subgroup disparities in ML shouldn't only be a "fairness" thing. It should be ML/data science best practice in general. If your model performs poorly for some identifiable subgroup, you should probably go fix that, just in the interest of making a better model.
