Fairness in Machine Learning with Hanna Wallach

Today we're joined by Hanna Wallach, a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research. Hanna and I really dig into how bias and a lack of interpretability and transparency show up across machine learning. We discuss the role that human biases, even those that are inadvertent, play in tainting data, and whether deployment of "fair" ML models can actually be achieved in practice, and much more. Along the way, Hanna points us to a TON of papers and resources to further explore the topic of fairness in ML.
