How to Avoid Confirmation Bias in Product Development

Been Kim is a Research Scientist at Google Brain. Her research focuses on designing high-performance machine learning methods that make sense to humans. Been's PhD thesis is titled "Interactive and Interpretable Machine Learning Models for Human Machine Collaboration", which she completed in 2015 at MIT. We discuss her work on interpretability, including her work in the thesis on the Bayesian Case Model and its interactive version, as well as connections with her subsequent work on black-box interpretability methods that are used in many real-world applications.
