This work was also a part of CEO’s keynote at Google I/O 19'. She received her PhD. from MIT. |
Technical Vision Talk Abstract: "Interpretability - Now What?"
In this talk, Been will reflect on some of the progress made in the field of interpretable machine learning. We will reflect on where we are going as a field, and what are the things we need to be aware and be careful as we make progress. With that perspective, she will then discuss some of her recent work 1) sanity checking popular methods and 2) developing more lay-person friendly interpretability method.
