Margaret Mitchell is a computer scientist who works on algorithmic bias and fairness in machine learning.She is most well known for her work on automatically removing undesired biases concerning demographic groups from machine learning models, [2] as well as more transparent reporting of their intended use.
Reza Zadeh (Persian: رضا زاده) is an American computer scientist and technology executive working on machine learning. He is adjunct professor at Stanford University, CEO of Matroid, [1] [2] and a founding team member at Databricks. [3] His work focuses on machine learning, distributed computing, and discrete applied mathematics.
Voroninski was awarded the 2014 SIAM Outstanding Paper Prize, [10] [11] given to works that "exhibit originality, for example, papers that bring a fresh look at an existing field or that open up new areas of applied mathematics". [10] His PhD thesis was awarded the university-wide Bernhard Friedman Memorial Prize from UC Berkeley.
He studied at Christ's College, Cambridge, [3] graduating in 1997 with the Addison-Wesley award, and having befriended Demis Hassabis whilst at Cambridge. [4] Silver returned to academia in 2004 at the University of Alberta to study for a PhD on reinforcement learning, [5] where he co-introduced the algorithms used in the first master-level 9×9 Go programs and graduated in 2009.
During his bachelor studies, he spent time at NVIDIA during the pre deep learning era (2008). His PhD was divided between Google Brain where he spent a year, and Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research [10] where he spent another year. During his stay at Google, he co-authored work on adversarial examples for neural networks. [11]
The "thesis statement" comes from the concept of a thesis (θέσῐς, thésis) as it was articulated by Aristotle in Topica. Aristotle's definition of a thesis is "a conception which is contrary to accepted opinion." He also notes that this contrary view must come from an informed position; not every contrary view is a thesis. [3]
A thesis as a collection of articles [1] or series of papers, [2] also known as thesis by published works, [1] or article thesis, [3] is a doctoral dissertation that, as opposed to a coherent monograph, is a collection of research papers with an introductory section consisting of summary chapters. Other less used terms are "sandwich thesis" and ...
In artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), [1] ablation is the removal of a component of an AI system. An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
