Evaluating subgroup disparities in ML shouldn't only be a "fairness" thing. It should be ML/data science best practice in general. If your model performs poorly for some identifiable subgroup, you should probably go fix that, just in the interest of making a better model.

@jasonbaumgartne This would be fantastic! I end up processing monthly files into daily format most of the time. Also daily release frequency would be very helpful.

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

just processing the news that our paper "The Values Encoded in Machine Learning" has been awarded the best paper at #FAccT22 and absolutely speechless

grateful for the team 💜

Really interesting case study to think about from the perspective of #ethNLP -- and also what linguists can contribute to society.
