— CALL FOR PAPERS — Workshop on Emerging Perspectives in Human-Centered Machine Learning

In this workshop, practitioners at the intersection of ML and HCI will present emerging perspectives in the field of Human-Centered Machine Learning. Through a focused discussion of different positions including pros and cons on democratizing ML, humans as rich sources of knowledge to teach machines, and explainable ML, we aim to articulate an updated HCML research agenda and strengthen this community moving forward.
