(1/2) Our own @jgaeb1 & Sharad Goel, w/coauthors @seanjwestwood & Shanto Iyengar, analyzed 50+ years of US TV news using a novel LLM-based classification system. They find a steep decline in in-depth political coverage & substantive reporting, while soft news & commercials rise.

NEW in Management Science!
My coauthors and I came up with a new consequentialist approach to designing equitable algorithms.
Instead of imposing fairness criteria on an algorithm (like equal false negative rates), we aim for good outcomes.

The use of race in clinical risk models is heavily debated. While race-aware models can be more accurate, some are concerned about reinforcing racialized views of medicine. In our paper in @AnnalsofIM, we offer a new perspective on this debate. 🧵👇 annals.org/aim/article/do…

Our virtual tutor, called PingPong, is based on ChatGPT.
It's designed to help students learn, not to simply give them answers.
We'll help customize PingPong to your course content.
Instructors can view de-identified student interactions.
PingPong is multilingual.
