However, there still remains a large gap between the decision-making capabilities of humans and machines. In this talk, I will investigate two factors to explain why. First, I will discuss the presence of undesirable biases in datasets, which ultimately hurt generalization. I will then present bias mitigation algorithms that boost the ability of AI models to generalize to unseen data. Second, I will explore task-specific prior knowledge which aids robust generalization, but is often ignored when training modern AI architectures. Throughout this discussion, I will focus my attention on language applications, and will show how certain underlying structures can provide useful inductive biases for inferring meaning in natural language. I will conclude with a discussion of how the broader framework of dataset and model biases will play a critical role in the societal impact of AI, going forward.</span></font></span></div><div class=""><font color="#212121" class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></font></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><font class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><div class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class=""><font class=""><b class="" style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">Bio: </b></font>Swabha Swayamdipta is a postdoctoral investigator at the Allen Institute for AI, working with Yejin Choi.
