Jury Learning: Integrating Dissenting Voices into Machine Learning Models
Supervised ML today resolves these label disagreements implicitly using majority vote, which overrides minority groups' labels. We introduce jury learning, a supervised ML approach that resolves these disagreements explicitly through the metaphor of a jury: defining which people or groups, in what...
[N] We started a talk series on ML for drug discovery
A few weeks ago we've started a freely accessible talk series on ML for drug discovery and molecular modeling. Although machine learning holds the promise to improve the efficiency of the drug discovery process, we are not there yet. Compared to other machine learning domains such as computer vision...
