Smitha Milli is a Research Scientist at Meta FAIR (NYC) in the AI & Society group. Their work primarily focuses on (a) rigorous evaluation of systems interacting in feedback loops with humans (e.g. recent work on measuring effects of Twitter’s ranking algorithm) and (b) designing and learning objective functions for those systems that produce more socially-beneficial outcomes. They hold a PhD in EECS from UC Berkeley and their postdoc is funded by an Open Philanthropy early career grant.
