Estimating notions of unfairness/inequity is hard as it requires that data captures all features that influenced decision-making. But what if it doesn't? In our work (arxiv.org/abs/2403.14713), we answer this question w/ @dylanjsam @MichaelOberst @zacharylipton @brwilder

OpenAI has either (a) the biggest moat in the history of technology; or (b) zero moat; depending on what the internet ate for breakfast.
Popular narrative places Twitter is in financial straits. However, post-Musk, headcount was slashed by 80% while revenue has fallen 28%. Virtues of the platform aside, how can this place them in financial peril? How monumental is their CapEx?
Why does @ezraklein have a clearer perspective on the state of progress in AI interpretability than 99% of AI researchers, including his esteemed interview subjects?

Headed to the Netherlands to give a keynote at Utrecht symposium on ML & explainability bringing together ML and PhilSci scholars. Who's around & what's happening in Amsterdam this weekend? ✈️🤖🎷🍾
🤯The TOFU dataset (locuslab.github.io/tofu) had 300k+ downloads last month, and is in Top 20 most downloaded datasets on @huggingface📈. This is crazy given how small the LLM unlearning community is compared to, say, LLM evals (for GSM8k). Excited to see what y'all are building!
The time zone selector in Google Calendar may be the most inexplicably shitty software element in all of technology. It shouldn’t take 5minutes to locate EST when I try to schedule an event while physically occupying another time zone.
The deep state doesn't want you to know: 2FA is actually a dirty ploy by social media to compel even the most committed quitters to stay fused to smartphones all day.
So excited to announce an event @genlawcenter has been working on! We're discuss the misconceptions b/w the technical capabilities of evaluating generative AI, and what policymakers and civil society want... April 15th @GtownTechLaw, and live on zoom: dc-workshop.genlaw.org

Alignment is now defined so broadly that all of AI, all of ML, and the entire history of technology is—and always has been—"alignment research".

8/ In short, our work provides a principled framework describing how ML estimators can be used in an unbiased manner to audit inequity in existing decision-making systems. This provides insights into how to identify unfair outcomes under more realistic assumptions ⚖️
7/ For instance, in a real-world case study of Paxlovid treatment for COVID-19 patients, our framework identifies that observed racial inequity cannot be explained by unobserved confounders that have an impact as strong as important observed covariates (i.e., diabetes).
6/ This result has immediate practical applications – our framework can be used to identify unfair outcomes in existing decision-making systems.
5/ To achieve even tighter bounds, we employ a sensitivity model that captures the strength of unobserved confounders. Our framework is able to give sufficiently tight bounds to provably identify inequity in treatment rates of high-risk individuals amongst different groups.
4/ Surprisingly, we show that one can give meaningful bounds on treatment rates even when _entirely eliminating_ this assumption. We leverage the fact that we often have access to data from before and after the release of an intervention to derive unbiased estimates of risk.
3/ This could be precisely estimated if we assume all features that have jointly influenced decisions and outcomes are observed (unconfoundedness). Yet, in the real world, this assumption rarely holds. This begs the question: Can we still estimate inequity w/out this assumption?
2/ Notions of unfairness/inequity are even more challenging to estimate when they rely on hard-to-measure concepts such as “risk” or “need”. This is exactly what we focus on – the difference in treatment rates of high risk ("needy") individuals from different groups.
Estimating notions of unfairness/inequity is hard as it requires that data captures all features that influenced decision-making. But what if it doesn't? In our work (arxiv.org/abs/2403.14713), we answer this question w/ @dylanjsam @MichaelOberst @zacharylipton @brwilder

yall ever notice how a city looks like a computer chip from an airplane? 🤔
The Onion is an institution, a national treasure, and we need it. But its success is based on something different than most media companies. The Onion has been stifled, along with most of the Internet, by byzantine cookie dialogs, paywalls, bizarro belly fat ads, and clickbait…
That’s why we’re asking everybody to pitch in $1. If you care about The Onion, if the Onion ever made you laugh – give us a buck. For that dollar, you get… absolutely nothing. Just a smug sense that you’ve once again spent less on The Onion than its worth in your life. 3/4
Over time, we’ll be introducing new products and getting into new mediums. But more than anything – this is about unleashing the creative team that’s been making you laugh for over 30 years. Letting these amazing writers do what they do best. I can’t wait to see what you pee in…
@jeffiel I gave you $3 bucks. I want at least three times as much nothing as everyone else.
A lot of people have asked, what do I get for $2? Twice as much nothing.
