Revealing Hidden Biases in Face Representation Via Deceptively Simple Tasks

Thursday, February 2 at 12 PM CST

Stefan Uddenberg, PhD, will present on his research, which demonstrates how basic mechanisms of perception and memory are specialized in deep and unexpected ways for the processing of social information (such as race, gender, or perceived trustworthiness). The research uses a variety of methods, but most recently innovations in deep learning have been used to model what we think of faces with an eye to reducing appearance-based discrimination and achieving fair outcomes in society.
