Dubrawski , Roni Rosenfeld , adam.kalai at microsoft.com Hi all, Please join us on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 in Newell-Simon Hall Room 3305 at 2pm when Maria De Arteaga Gonzalez will be presenting her thesis proposal. *Title:* Machine Learning in High-Stakes Settings: Risks and Opportunities *Thesis committee: *Artur Dubrawski (co-chair), Alexandra Chouldechova (co-chair), Roni Rosenfeld, Adam Kalai (Microsoft Research) *Thesis proposal abstract:* Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being used to support decision-making in critical settings, where predictions have potentially grave implications over human lives. Examples include healthcare, hiring, child welfare, and the criminal justice system. In this thesis, I study the risks and opportunities of machine learning in high-stakes settings. In the first chapter I focus on opportunities of ML to support experts' decisions when dealing with high-resolution multivariate data--a type of data that is particularly hard for humans to interpret--. I propose methodology to discover latent complex multivariate correlation structures and illustrate its use in two different domains: (1) identification of radioactive threats in nuclear physics, and (2) prediction of neurological recovery of comatose patients in healthcare. In the second chapter, focused on algorithmic fairness, I demonstrate how societal biases encoded in historical data may be reproduced and amplified by ML models, and introduce a new algorithm to mitigate biases without assuming access to protected attributes. Finally, in the third chapter I characterize challenges that arise from the limitations of available labels in decision support contexts, such as the selective labels problem and omitted payoff bias, and propose methodology to estimate and leverage human consistency to improve algorithmic decision making. *Link to paper: * https://www.dropbox.com/s/0sedkolbwim23x9/PhD_Proposal_DeArteaga.pdf?dl=0 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks Artur ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Finale Date: Tue, Feb 4, 2020, 8:39 PM Subject: [ML-news] Machine Learning for Healthcare 2020: First Call for Papers To: Machine Learning News Call for Submissions MLHC -> Machine Learning for Healthcare Conference 2020 What: conference on data-driven healthcare When: August 6-8, 2020 Where: Durham, NC Website: https://www.mlforhc.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Researchers in machine learning --- including those working in statistical natural language processing, computer vision, and related sub-fields --- when coupled with seasoned clinicians can play an important role in turning complex medical data (e.g., individual patient health records, genomic data, data from wearable health monitors, online reviews of physicians, medical imagery, etc.) into actionable knowledge that ultimately improves patient care. For several years, MLHC has drawn together hundreds of clinical and machine learning researchers to discuss machine learning solutions clinicians need solved. We invite submissions that advance our understanding of machine learning in the context of healthcare. Submissions may be methods oriented, describing ways to address the challenges inherent to health-related data (e.g., sparsity, class imbalance, causality, temporal dynamics, multi-modal data). They may also be more application-oriented, including evaluations and analyses of state-of-the-art machine learning approaches applied to health data in deployed/prototyped systems. Submissions will be reviewed by both computer scientists and clinicians. This year we are calling for papers in two tracks: a research paper track and a clinical abstract+software/demo track. Accepted papers will be archived through the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (JMLR Proceedings track). Examples of topic areas include: *Predicting individual patient outcomes *Mining, processing and making sense of clinical notes *Patient risk stratification *Parsing biomedical literature *Bio-marker discovery *Brain imaging technologies and related models *Learning from sparse/missing/imbalanced data *Time series analysis with medical applications *Medical imaging *Efficient, scalable processing of clinical data *Clustering and phenotype discovery *Methods for vitals monitoring *Feature selection/dimensionality reduction *Text classification and mining for biomedical literature *Exploiting and generating ontologies *ML systems that assist with evidence-based medicine Regardless of the topic, our main interest is in papers that teach us something, that give us some new insights into machine learning in the context of healthcare. --- Submission Details --- Research Track: Full papers are expected (in the range of 12-15 pages) The review process is double blind. Please refer to the submission instructions on our website, including tips on what makes a great MLHC paper and required content. All papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed, and research that has been previously published elsewhere or is currently in submission may not be submitted. Accepted papers will be published through the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research. Clinical Abstract and Software/Demo Track: We also have a non-archival track two very specific categories of papers: Clinical abstracts share open clinical problems and celebrate translational achievements. The first author and presenter of a clinical abstract track submission must be an MD/RN/clinician. Software/demos share a tool for the community to use (which generally means open source). Abstracts will not be archived. --- Important Dates --- Paper Submission Deadline - Friday March 20th, 2020 6PM EDT Acceptance Notification - Friday June 5th, 2020 Program Chairs: Finale Doshi, PhD (Harvard University), James Fackler, MD (Johns Hopkins), Kenneth Jung, PhD (Stanford University), David Kale (USC), Rajesh Ranganath, PhD (NYU), Michael Sjoding, MD (University of Michigan), Byron Wallace, PhD (Northeastern), Jenna Wiens, PhD (University of Michigan) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machine Learning News" group.

The server had multiple (at least three that I found) dead RAM modules. It runs now with 128 GB of RAM which is half of the original amount. Due to the fact that this is older RAM which is now pricey (the server is out of warranty) I decided just to keep extra RAM in the reserve instead of buying replacement RAM. The server is still running Springdale 7.7 but CUDA is now 10.2 and updated everything. Best, Predrag P.S. Some of you might be missing scratch on this server. Please ping me.

Igor and I worked with the same PhD advisor at Cornell. Best, Ramina ________________________________ From: Ml-cmu-friends on behalf of Mary Stech Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2020 12:30 PM To: ml-seminar at cs.cmu.edu Subject: ML Seminar - Teaching Machines like we Teach People A reminder about the seminar today at 2:00! ________________________________________________________________________ Please join ML for a Special Seminar on Tuesday, February 25 at 2:00pm in GHC 4405. Teaching Machines like we Teach People Today machine learning is largely about statistical pattern discovery and function approximation from large volumes of data. But as computing devices that interact with us in natural language become ubiquitous (e.g., Siri, Alexa, Google Home), and as computer perceptual abilities become more accurate, they open an exciting possibility of enabling end-users to teach machines similar to the way in which humans teach one another. Natural language conversations, gesturing, demonstrations, teleoperation and other modes of communication offer a new paradigm for machine learning through instruction from humans. In this talk I will discuss our effort and progress at CMU to build the next generation conversational agent that can learn from explicit verbal instruction and demonstration. Bio: Igor Labutov's interests are in building machine learning algorithms that can learn from natural human supervision, such as verbal or visual instructions. Most recently he was a Postdoc at Carnegie Mellon Machine Learning department working with Tom Mitchell on problems of machine learning from flexible and natural forms of instruction. Prior to that he obtained his PhD from Cornell University where he was advised by Hod Lipson and Christoph Studer, and where he was a recipient of the NSF Graduate Fellowship. His undergraduate degree is from The City College of New York. In June 2018, together with Bishan Yang (also former CMU postdoc) they co-founded LAER AI., a startup based in New York City, focusing on developing next-generation semantic search tools for enterprises. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
