Sendhil Mullainathan: Misunderstandings

[ ]
Sat 14 Dec 1:30 p.m. PST — 2 p.m. PST

Abstract:

In this talk I will document two kinds of misunderstanding: people misunderstanding algorithms; and algorithms misunderstanding people. The empirical work is done on LLMs and supervised learning. In both cases, I show how these misunderstandings are consequential; and have implications for how models should be trained differently.
