About Been Kim

I don\'t respond to LinkedIn msgs/invitations. For my latest publications, please visit beenkim.github.io/]My focus: ICLR keynote 2022 & t=6sBlog: https://medium.com/@beenkim/beyond-interpretability-4bf03bbd9394google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en & am interested in helping humans to communicate with complex machine learning models: not only by building tools (and tools to criticize them), but also studying their nature, compared to humans. Quanta magazine (written by John Pavlus, is a great description of what I do and why. I believe the language that humans and machines communicate must be human-centered-higher-level, human-friendly concepts-so that it can make sense to everyone, regardless of how much they know about ML.I gave keynote at ICLR 2022, ECML 2020 and at the G20 meeting in Argentina in 2018. One of my work TCAV received UNESCO Netexplo award, was featured at Google I/O 19\' and in Brian Christian\'s book on The Alignment Problem.Stuff I help with: Senior Program Chair at ICLR 2023 Workshop Chair at ICLR 2019 Senior Area chair/Area chair/Senior program committee NeurIPS 2017-now, ICML 2019-now, ICLR 2020-now, AISTATS 2020-now Steering committee and area chair at Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning Steering committee and area chair at FAccT conference Former executive board member and VP of Women in Machine Learning.
