It's True: The Internet Skews the Reality of Women (and Men) in the Workforce
Age and gender biases are baked into what we see online, a large new study confirms. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. In the 1970s, when researchers asked children to draw a scientist, 99 percent of them drew a man . As this experiment was repeated over 50 years, the number of women drawn increased, and within the past decade, more than half of girls will draw a woman when asked what a scientist looks like. Today, Google search results tend to agree with these children's drawings.
An active learning framework for multi-group mean estimation
After observing a sample, the analyst may update their estimate of the mean and variance of that group and choose the next group accordingly. The analyst's objective is to dynamically collect samples to minimize the
Embracing the chaos: analysis and diagnosis of numerical instability in variational flows
In this work, we treat variational flows as dynamical systems, and leverage shadowing theory to elucidate this behavior via theoretical guarantees on the error of sampling, density evaluation, and ELBO estimation.
