🧵1/ How should we balance accuracy and fairness when one predictive model has to serve multiple demographic groups? In our new paper with @annieulichney and Mike Jordan, “The Statistical Fairness-Accuracy Frontier”, we turn the fairness-accuracy frontier into a practical, finite-sample tool. TL;DR: Implementing fairness–accuracy trade-offs from finite data distorts the frontier; we provide minimax-optimal estimators, optimal sampling rules, and confidence bands for the empirical frontier.

This week’s workshop, “Agency in Collaborative Learning,” at @SimonsInstitute will feature many talks at the intersection of economics and machine learning. I’ll also be speaking on Tuesday about this work on preference alignment using choice and response-time data. The talks will be streamed online, and the schedule with the streaming links is available here: simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/agen…

🧵1/ We recently put out a paper on estimating preferences using response time data. I’m sharing it here in the hope of getting feedback, or even just general thoughts!

This week I was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor at @Berkeley_EECS ! In a remarkable show of enthusiasm, the committee apparently tore a hole in spacetime to make me an Associate Professor 9 months ago!

If you’re on the Berkeley campus, I’ll be presenting this work at the @SimonsInstitute workshop on “Learning from Heterogeneous Sources” at 2:15 PM PT (less than an hour from now!). You can find the workshop schedule, along with the livestream links to all the talks (including mine), here: simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/lear…

Do you work at the intersection of AI, mechanism design, strategic behavior, and their impact on society? Consider submitting your work to the “AI for Mechanism Design and Strategic Decision Making” (AIMS) workshop at ICLR 2026 (@iclr_conf). The submission deadline is February 3rd, and we welcome both short (4-page) and long (9-page) paper submissions. We also have a fantastic lineup of speakers! More information about submissions can be found on the workshop webpage: alimama-tech.github.io/aims-2026/

2025 was an eventful/disruptive year for computer science research, for two reasons: 1) a shock to federal funding, and 2) the arrival of AI models capable enough to assist mathematical research. 1) is unambiguously bad and 2) is probably mostly good. I'll write about AI first.

I started a new personal blog The AI Observer on my observations on AI: kamalikachaudhuri.substack.com Teaser: the first few posts will talk about generalization, alignment, what statistical learning theory gets wrong and right, and where the (non-obvious) open problems are buried.

We keep scaling model parameters by increasing width and stacking more layers, but what if the truly missing axes for continual learning are compression and stacking the learning process? Excited to share the full version of Nested Learning, a new paradigm for continual learning and machine learning in general. Paper: nestedlearning.net/paper

This NYT article on the "golden age" of air travel is an amazing example of an unthinking journalist failing to make contact with reality. The narrative: air travel used to be much better, but less affordable. 1/

When humans and AI collaborate, what should uncertainty quantification look like? Our new paper proposes two principles---no counterfactual harm and complementarity---and gives distribution-free guarantees without assumptions on the task, AI model, or human behavior.
