However, curating real-world data is difficult, involving understanding human and technical requirements; managing time, budget, ethics, and legal considerations; and designing and implementing collection and processing mechanisms. As a result, many ML projects repurpose existing data or turn to synthetic data generation. Such datasets are typically limited in how well they reflect the real world, and negative downstream consequences may affect model performance, evaluation accuracy, user experience, and legal implications. These impacts are often felt most acutely by disabled and other underserved users.<br>In this talk, I will demonstrate an approach to AI data curation to help overcome such challenges: deploying systems that simultaneously serve user needs and collect strategic AI data. Collecting data through real-world systems produces more realistic data, which is essential to training and evaluating inclusive and accurate models. At the same time, these systems can</p><p>Bio: Danielle Bragg is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research. Her work focuses on developing computational systems that expand access to information, enhance productivity, and improve quality of life. Her work is interdisciplinary, combining human-computer interaction, applied machine learning, and accessibility. Her work has been recognized by paper awards at top-tier conferences, the Microsoft Ability Summit Innovation Award, and featured in The Economist. She holds a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Washington, and a BA in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University.</p><p>We will meet in NSH 3305 for this fascinating talk!<br>Thanks and regards,<br>Peya</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p></span></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" align="center" style="width:100%"><tbody><tr><td style="border:1px solid rgb(218,220,224);border-radius:8px;direction:rtl;font-size:0px;padding:24px 32px;text-align:left;vertical-align:top" class="m_7262317835536529761main-container-inner"><div class="m_7262317835536529761column-per-37" style="font-size:13px;text-align:left;direction:ltr;display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;overflow:hidden"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:0px"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size:0px;padding:0px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word"><div style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;text-align:left" class="m_7262317835536529761primary-text" role="presentation"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="padding-bottom:4px"><tbody><tr><td><h2 class="m_7262317835536529761primary-text" style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(60,64,67);text-decoration:none;font-weight:700;margin:0px;padding:0px">Attachments</h2></td></tr></tbody></table></div></td></tr><tr><td style="font-size:0px;padding:0px 1px 24px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" class="m_7262317835536529761attachment-chip" style="border:1px solid rgb(218,220,224);border-radius:16px;border-collapse:separate;padding:4px 0px"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:3px 10px;height:14px;width:14px"><img src="https://drive-thirdparty.googleusercontent.com/32/type/application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet" width="14" height="14" alt="" style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"></td><td align="left" style="padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;max-width:160px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><div style="overflow:hidden;height:20px"><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1k1Pmh9jo-N7S73Fi10y-5tEynvhw3xLbPf-NMAjTSxU" style="font-weight:400;color:rgb(95,99,104);font-size:14px;margin:0px;text-decoration:none;text-transform:none;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;display:inline-block;height:20px;max-width:160px;line-height:20px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;vertical-align:middle;white-space:normal" class="m_7262317835536529761grey-button-text" title="Accessibility Lunch Schedule 2024" target="_blank">Accessibility Lunch Sc...</a></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="m_7262317835536529761column-per-63" style="font-size:13px;text-align:left;direction:ltr;display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:100%;overflow:hidden"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" class="m_7262317835536529761main-column-table-ltr" style="padding-right:32px;padding-left:0px;table-layout:fixed"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0px;vertical-align:top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="table-layout:fixed"><tbody><tr><td style="font-size:0px;padding:0px 0px 2px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word"><div style="font-family:"Google Sans",Roboto,sans-serif;font-weight:400;font-size:22px;line-height:28px;color:rgb(60,64,67);text-decoration:none" class="m_7262317835536529761primary-text" role="presentation"><span>Accessibility Lunch Seminar</span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="font-size:0px;padding:0px 0px 24px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word"><div style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;letter-spacing:0.2px;color:rgb(60,64,67);text-decoration:none" class="m_7262317835536529761primary-text" role="presentation"><span aria-hidden="true"></span><span>Monday Mar 31, 2025 ⋅ 12pm – 1pm (Eastern Time - New York)</span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="font-size:0px;padding:0px 0px 24px;text-align:left;word-break:break-word"><div style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;letter-spacing:0.2px;color:rgb(60,64,67);text-decoration:none" class="m_7262317835536529761primary-text" role="presentation"><span><a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcmubiglab.github.io%2Flunch%2F&sa=D&ust=1743606180000000&usg=AOvVaw2SNPRFi0ReCuEjmWEokKDX" target="_blank">CMU Accessibility Lunch Seminar Series</a><br>About: This seminar series explores the evolution and future directions of accessibility research and practice.
