We (+ @dr-nyamewaa.bsky.social) are excited to present two recent works detailing the landscape of AI in health in Africa from a fairness and equity angle:

The Nteasee Study arxiv.org/abs/2409.12197

and

The Case for Globalizing Fairness dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... (1/11)

Excited to share that our paper, “Understanding challenges to the interpretation of evaluations of algorithmic fairness” has been accepted to NeurIPS 2025! You can read the paper now on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2506.04193.
Understanding challenges to the interpretation of disaggregated evaluations of algorithmic fairness
Disaggregated evaluation across subgroups is critical for assessing the fairness of machine learning models, but its uncritical use can mislead practitioners. We show that equal performance across sub...

Excited to share that this work will be presented at @facct.bsky.social #facct2025 🎉!

Looking forward to attending my first FAccT conference and meeting the community!
In The Nteasee Study, we conducted surveys of 672 general population participants across 5 countries–Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa–as well as in-depth interviews of experts working in AI/ML, health, policy, and equity. arxiv.org/abs/2409.12197 (2/11)

AI systems present an opportunity to reflect society's biases. “However, realizing this potential requires careful attention to both technical and social considerations,” says HAI Faculty Affiliate @sanmikoyejo.bsky.social in his latest op-ed via @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We have an opportunity to build systems that don’t just replicate our current inequities. Will we take them?

I've recently put together a "Fairness FAQ": tinyurl.com/fairness-faq. If you work in non-fairness ML and you've heard about fairness, perhaps you've wondered things like what the best definitions of fairness are, and whether we can train algorithms that optimize for it.

#NewPaper We designed an "algorithmic microscope" & called it the Vendiscope. It is a new companion in the discovery process for scientists across fields and a powerful tool for diagnosing datasets and models for AI researchers. #AlgorithmicMicroscopy

I'm going to slowly repost my math notes from the other site🐦 here🦋; it's the only thing I posted over there that I think may have some long-term value & worth not deleting.

These started out as notes for myself, but people seem to appreciate them. 😅

I'll keep track of all of them in this thread.

Ahead of the New Year, I wanted to take a moment to wish for everyone, in 2025, to have space to be themselves, time for family, friends and creativity, motivation to pursue their goals, and courage to stand out and speak up! Not to mention I hope for many laughs, and endless joy for all of us.🎉

Okay, new years resolution. No meetings before 12. Posting this so people can yell at me when I try to schedule a meeting before then
