The Journal of Financial Data Science2021We present a machine learning pipeline for fairness-aware machine learning (FAML) in finance that encompasses metrics for fairness (and accuracy). Whereas accuracy metrics are well understood and the principal ones used frequently, there is no consensus as to which of several available measures for fairness should be used in a generic manner in the financial services industry. We explore these measures

The Web Conference 2021 Workshop on Multilingual Search2021Learning cross-lingual word representations is an effective approach for developing multilingual models. In this work, we lay the groundwork and present preliminary results on learning cross-lingual representations appropriate for deployment to edge devices. Specifically, we learn cross-lingual representations using multilingual language models and use these to seed different parts of a Neural Natural Language

PAKDD 20212021Learning from source code usually requires a large amount of labeled data. Despite the possible scarcity of labeled data, the trained model is highly task-specific and lacks transferability to different tasks. In this work, we present effective pre-training strategies on top of a novel graph-based code representation, to produce universal representations for code. Specifically, our graph-based representation

Interspeech 20212021Spoken language understanding (SLU) smart assistants such as Amazon Alexa host hundreds of thousands of voice applications (skills) to delight end-users and fulfill their utterance requests. Sometimes utterances fail to be claimed by smart assistants due to system problems such as model incapability or routing errors. The failure may lead to customer frustration, dialog termination and eventually cause

ACL-IJCNLP 20212021Existing bias mitigation methods to reduce disparities in model outcomes across cohorts have focused on data augmentation, debiasing model embeddings, or adding fairness-based optimization objectives during training. Separately, certified word substitution robustness methods have been developed to decrease the impact of spurious features and synonym substitutions on model predictions. While their end goals
