Do you know Zoom & other companies are encouraging discrimination against employees for things like "pausing too long" or not sounding sufficiently "charismatic"? Read all about our dystopian present in my new paper, out today in JASA! (Seriously, read it. It's important) doi.org/10.1121/10.0...

New paper in Science: In a platform-independent field experiment, we show that reranking content expressing antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity in social media feeds alters affective polarization. 🧵

Check out @isabelcorpus.bsky.social's fantastic thread on our paper studying the effects of a "write with AI" button on change.org! ✍️ Spoiler: the effects of AI aren't always positive.

We have a new paper in Science Advances proposing a simple test for bias: Is the same person treated differently when their race is perceived differently? Specifically, we study: is the same driver likelier to be searched by police when they are perceived as Hispanic rather than white? 1/

Had a great time at CODE@MIT this weekend, and wanted to highlight a few (of the many) cool talks!

For day 5 of the #30daymapchallenge, I compared the original ecology of New York City with data from the Welikia Project to the present-day.

I’m recruiting students this upcoming cycle at UIUC! I’m excited about Qs on societal impact of AI, especially human-AI collaboration, multi-agent interactions, incentives in data sharing, and AI policy/regulation (all from both a theoretical and applied lens). Apply through CS & select my name!

No better time to start learning about that #AI thing everyone's talking about... 📢 I'm recruiting PhD students in Computer Science or Information Science @cornellbowers.bsky.social! If you're interested, apply to either department (yes, either program!) and list me as a potential advisor!

It was fantastic to collaborate across Cornell and Apple for our EMNLP paper auditing LLMs for dialectal biases in multiple choice benchmark datasets: arxiv.org/abs/2510.00962. Anna @annaseogyeongchoi.bsky.social (who's on the job market this year!) did a great job presenting this work today!

Jobs! First, we hope to be hiring in Computer Science for the @cornelltech.bsky.social campus: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30804 Focus on security, SysML, and NLP. Please share!

Cornell (NYC and Ithaca) is recruiting AI postdocs, apply by Nov 20, 2025! If you're interested in working with me on technical approaches to responsible AI (e.g., personalization, fairness), please email me. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30971

Cornell Information Science is hiring a Teaching Professor! Apply this week for full consideration: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/30763

*Proud advisor moment* My (first) PhD student Zhi Liu (zhiliu724.github.io) is 1 of 4 finalists for the INFORMS Dantzig Dissertation Award, the premier dissertation award for the OR community. His dissertation spanned work with 2 NYC govt agencies, on measuring and mitigating operational inequities

New piece, out in the Sigecom Exchanges! It's my first solo-author piece, and the closest thing I've written to being my "manifesto." #econsky #ecsky arxiv.org/abs/2507.03600

@jennahgosciak.bsky.social just gave a fantastic talk on this paper about temporally missing data at @ic2s2.bsky.social 🎉 -- find us this afternoon if you want to chat about it!

Check out our work at @ic2s2.bsky.social this afternoon during the Communication & Cooperation II session!

Presenting this work at @ic2s2.bsky.social imminently, in the LLMs & Society session!

For folks at @ic2s2.bsky.social, I'm excited to be sharing this work at this afternoon's session on LLMs & Bias!

This Thursday at @facct.bsky.social, @jennahgosciak.bsky.social's presenting our work at the 10:45am "Audits 2" session! We collaborated across @cornellbowers.bsky.social, @mit.edu, & @stanfordlaw.bsky.social to study health estimate biases from delayed race data collection: arxiv.org/abs/2506.13735

For folks at @facct.bsky.social, our very own @cornellbowers.bsky.social student @emmharv.bsky.social will present the Best-Paper-Award-winning work she led on Wednesday at 10:45 AM in the "Audit and Evaluation Approaches" session! In the meantime, 🧵 below and 🔗 here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.04419 !

🎉Excited to present our paper tomorrow at @facct.bsky.social, “Characterizing Bias: Benchmarking Large Language Models in Simplified versus Traditional Chinese”, with @brucelyu17.bsky.social, Jiebo Luo and Jian Kang, revealing 🤖 LLM performance disparities. 📄 Link: arxiv.org/abs/2505.22645

I wrote about science cuts and my family's immigration story as part of The McClintock Letters organized by @cornellasap.bsky.social. Haven't yet placed it in a Houston-based newspaper but hopefully it's useful here gargnikhil.com/posts/202506...

This framing is all wrong Our international students are not a “crucial funding source” They are our STUDENTS They are the reason we EXIST We teach STUDENTS

It was a pleasure writing this piece with experts across both data science and public services. We need more in-house technical expertise in government! Read more here: cacm.acm.org/opinion/as-g...

Really proud of @rajmovva.bsky.social and @kennypeng.bsky.social for this work! We hope that it's useful, and are already using it for many followup projects Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2502.04382 Python package: github.com/rmovva/Hypot... Demo: hypothesaes.org

Excited for @emmharv.bsky.social to present her CHI paper next month - thorough and ever-timely research on the harms of LLMs in education! arXiv link here: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.14592

Please repost to get the word out! @nkgarg.bsky.social and I are excited to present a personalized feed for academics! It shows posts about papers from accounts you’re following bsky.app/profile/pape...

Now online @pnasnexus.org! Many discrimination auditing and electoral tasks use ML to predict race/ethnicity – by discretizing continuous scores. Can the discretization process cause bias in labels and downstream tasks? Yes! Led by @evandyx.bsky.social academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Humbled and honored to receive this award -- thank you, @sloanfoundation.bsky.social, for supporting STEM research!
