Really interesting new paper out of Stanford medicine. On a new set of previously unseen diagnoses, chatgpt scored an average of 90% + explained its reasoning. Doctors randomly assigned to use the chatbot got 76%. Those randomly assigned not to use it got 74%.

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.
I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere

Fairness definitions differ across groups! For white respondents, fairness = "proximity'' to assigned school. For Hispanic or Latino parents, fairness = "same rules'' for everyone. Cool work by @nilou.bsky.social + students
New #CSCW2024 paper in which we found that people's definitions of fairness for an algorithmic distribution system (school choice) differ across socioeconomic groups. These definitions of fairness shape how fair they see the system, controlling for their own outcome. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Many models produce outputs that are hard to verify for an end-user. Our new #emnlp2023 paper won an outstanding paper award! 🏆🎉
We show that providing a quality estimation model, can make a user better at deciding when to rely on the model.
