no code implementations11 May 2023 Eve Fleisig, Rediet Abebe, Dan Klein

Thus, a crucial problem in hate speech detection is determining whether a statement is offensive to the demographic group that it targets, when that group may constitute a small fraction of the annotator pool.

Difficult Lessons on Social Prediction from Wisconsin Public Schools

no code implementations13 Apr 2023 Juan C. Perdomo, Tolani Britton, Moritz Hardt, Rediet Abebe

These systems assist in targeting interventions to individual students by predicting which students are at risk of dropping out.

A Theory of Dynamic Benchmarks

no code implementations6 Oct 2022 Ali Shirali, Rediet Abebe, Moritz Hardt

Dynamic benchmarks interweave model fitting and data collection in an attempt to mitigate the limitations of static benchmarks.

Lost in Translation: Reimagining the Machine Learning Life Cycle in Education

no code implementations8 Sep 2022 Lydia T. Liu, Serena Wang, Tolani Britton, Rediet Abebe

We find that a cross-disciplinary gap exists and is particularly salient in two parts of the ML life cycle: the formulation of an ML problem from education goals and the translation of predictions to interventions.

Adversarial Scrutiny of Evidentiary Statistical Software

no code implementations19 Jun 2022 Rediet Abebe, Moritz Hardt, Angela Jin, John Miller, Ludwig Schmidt, Rebecca Wexler

Responding to this need to adversarially scrutinize output from such software, we propose robust adversarial testing as an audit framework to examine the validity of evidentiary statistical software.

These cardinal welfare analyses further rationalize the prevalence of roscas.

Quantifying Community Characteristics of Maternal Mortality Using Social Media

Opinion Dynamics with Varying Susceptibility to Persuasion

1 code implementation24 Jan 2018 Rediet Abebe, Jon Kleinberg, David Parkes, Charalampos E. Tsourakakis

This body of literature suggests an interesting perspective on theoretical models of opinion formation by interacting parties in a network: in addition to considering interventions that directly modify people's intrinsic opinions, it is also natural to consider interventions that modify people's susceptibility to persuasion.

Fair Division via Social Comparison

no code implementations20 Nov 2016 Rediet Abebe, Jon Kleinberg, David Parkes

A general result is that for any two distinct graphs on the same set of nodes and an allocation, there exists a set of valuation functions such that the allocation is locally proportional on one but not the other.
