Smash or pass? This computer can tell

Could an app tell if a first date is just not that into you? Engineers say the technology might not be far off. They trained a computer to identify the type of conversation two people were having based on their physiological responses alone.

Designing Data: Proactive Data Collection and Iteration for Machine Learning

Lack of diversity in data collection has caused significant failures in machine learning (ML) applications. While ML developers perform post-collection interventions, these are time intensive and rarely comprehensive. Thus, new methods to track and manage data collection, iteration, and model training are necessary for evaluating whether datasets reflect real world variability. We present designing data, …
