*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

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...
