Awa Dieng

Hi! I am a research associate on the Google Brain team in Montreal and a graduate student in Computer Science at Mila and Université de Montréal co-advised by Laurent Charlin and Hugo Larochelle. I am also the initiator and co-organizer of the Algorithmic Fairness through the lens... workshop series at NeurIPS (afciworkshop.org)

My research interest is at the intersection of machine learning and causality with a focus on improving fairness, interpretability and reliability properties of ML models and treatment effect estimation methods.
