Background:
Marie grew up in Paris and completed a BS in Mathematics and Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique. She later moved to California to complete a MS at Stanford University. After a couple years working on the ML team at Nest, Marie transferred to another Google bet called Jigsaw where she works on language models using artificial intelligence techniques and with the goal of improving conversations online.
Having a healthy discussion online is difficult. The sad reality of internet today is that people are harassed into suicide, journalists are threatened into silence, hate speech is normalized and sometimes organized.Approximately 1/4 of women face sexual harassment online and are physically threatened. Over the last few years, many organizations have simply turned off their comments sections as they became to hard to moderate. How can technology help ? This talk will cover how the Conversation-Ai team at Google has used deep learning techniques to help improve conversations online. We will also discuss the limitations of machine learning algorithms with respect to unintended bias and go over some mitigation techniques.
