Dear Autonians,

Maria has been portrayed as one of the thought leaders of the fairness frontier of applied machine learning in this article<https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/vb53gb/algorithms-have-nearly-mastered-human-language-why-cant-they-stop-being-sexist?utm_source=mbtwitterus> in Motherboard (a tech vertical of Vice). She talks about biases in word embeddings and their impact on e.g. automated recruiting.

If you are curious to learn more about Maria's exciting work in this area, try this:

Congrats Maria!
