#NeurIPS2023 invited talk: Lora Aroyo on data quality and diversity

The thirty-seventh Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2023) took place in New Orleans towards the end of last year. As part of the programme of invited talks, Lora Aroyo spoke about her work on responsible AI, specifically looking at the data annotation process and what this means for models that use that data. The rapid progress of AI in recent years has been, in large part, due to the availability of large quantities of data for model training. However, these advancements have left in their wake a trail of problematic model behaviours. Lora's research is focussed on studying the characteristics of data, such as stereotypes and biases, that impact on the models.
