If you have less than 3 hours to spare & want to learn (almost) everything about state-of-the-art explainable ML, this thread is for you! Below, I am sharing info about 4 of our recent tutorials on explainability presented at NeurIPS, AAAI, FAccT, and CHIL conferences. [1/n]
NeurIPS 2020: Our longest tutorial (2 hours 46 mins) discusses various types of explanation methods, their limitations, evaluation frameworks, applications to domains such as decision making/nlp/vision, and open problems explainml-tutorial.github.io/neurips20 @sameer_ @julius_adebayo [2/n]
AAAI 2021: Can't spend 2 hours 46 mins on this topic? No problem! Our tutorial at AAAI 2021 is right here (1 hour 32 mins): explainml-tutorial.github.io/aaai21. This one discusses different explanation methods, their limitations, evaluation, and open problems. @sameer_ @julius_adebayo [3/n]
FAccT 2021: Want to know more about the ethical/practical implications of explainability along with a gentle intro to the topic? Our tutorial on "Explainable ML in the Wild" (1 hr 31 mins): slides: bit.ly/2REdAhe @shalmali_joshi_ @_cagarwal [4/n]
CHIL 2021: Alright, you can't even spare 1 hr 30 mins you say, no worries! Our shortest tutorial (just 1 hour) on this topic gives a quick overview of various state-of-the-art methods, their limitations, open problems: chilconference.org/tutorial_T04.h… slides bit.ly/3vQQwua [5/n]
If you think that's all we have got, you are wrong! :) This semester I taught a full fledged seminar course on explainability in ML @Harvard. All the readings and slides will be posted very soon. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, last year's version of the course at interpretable-ml-class.github.io
Also tagging @DorsaSadigh (please see above thread) :) It was so great to meet you today, Dorsa.

As I struggled to deal with the impact of COVID on my family members in India, I got delayed by a day for submitting my reviews for a conference & I got a message from a senior reviewer with the blurb below. My humble request to everyone - pls don't say this to anyone ever! [1/n] Image
I dont typically share any of my personal experiences on social media. But, I strongly felt that I need to make an exception this time. I am so incredibly hurt, appalled, flabbergasted, and dumbfounded by that blurb. It shows how academia can lack basic empathy! [2/n]
What bothers me is that I am an assistant professor at Harvard & I am decently known in my area of work. If someone can say this to me, I can't even imagine what they can say to a grad student. I am so sad this is the state of the research community that I am a part of! [3/n]

Twitter might seem like a not-so-kind place especially if you are a young student who just had your paper rejected by #NeurIPS2020. You might be seeing all your peers/professors talking about their paper acceptances. Let me shed some light on the reality of the situation [1/N]
Twitter (and generally social media) paints a biased view of a lot of situations including this one thechicagoschool.edu/insight/from-t…. Looking at your twitter feed, you might be feeling that everyone else seems to have gotten their papers accepted except for you. That is so not true! [2/N]
#NeurIPS2020 has an acceptance rate of around 20% which means an overwhelming majority of the papers (80%) have been rejected. Also, a lot of the accepted papers might have already faced rejection(s) at other venues before being accepted at #NeurIPS2020. [3/N]

Want to generate black box explanations that are more stable and are robust to distribution shifts? Our latest #ICML2020 paper provides a generic framework that can be used to generate robust local/global linear/rule-based explanations.
Paper: proceedings.icml.cc/static/paper_f…. Thread ↓ Image
Many existing explanation techniques are highly sensitive even to small changes in data. This results in: 1) incorrect and unstable explanations, (ii) explanations of the same model may differ based on the dataset used to construct them.
To address the above shortcomings, we propose a framework based on adversarial training. We propose and optimize a minimax objective that aims to construct explanations with highest fidelity over a set of possible distribution shifts.

Story of many Indian immigrants: My friend Rohan did his undergrad at a top engineering college in India and moved to US to do his masters at Stanford. After his masters, he joined a reputed tech company and has been working with them for 2 years now. [1/N]
Rohan is on H1-B. He is likely to be stuck in an incessant loop of H1Bs for the foreseeable future. He has applied for a green card but do you know that there is *atleast a 12 year* wait for Indian immigrants applying for a green card on EB2 category.
[2/N]
In fact, this wait for a green card can go up to *50 years* for Indian immigrants as per recent news articles washingtonpost.com/immigration/th…. This means there is a good chance that Rohan may have to be on the H1-B visa for his entire life (or until he chooses to remain in the US). [3/N]
