Awa Dieng
Hi! I am a researcher at Google DeepMind. I also founded and have been co-organizing the Algorithmic Fairness through the lens... workshop series at NeurIPS (afciworkshop.org).
The overarching goal of my work is to build trustworhthy machine learning systems that can be deployed safely. I am particularly interested in using causal approaches to better understand and improve the fairness and safety of such systems.
Please see my google scholar for an updated list of publications.
