[Peya Mowar]

Hi everyone, This Monday, we have Dr. Danielle Bragg joining us remotely  
for accessibility lunch. Please find the talk details below: Title:  
Deploying Real Systems for Better ML Data Abstract: Data quality is  
critical to ML success. 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. 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 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. We will meet in NSH 3305 for this  
fascinating talk! Thanks and regards, Peya
