Rudin in 2020

Cynthia Diane Rudin (born 1976)Шаблон:R is an American computer scientist and statistician specializing in machine learning and known for her work in interpretable machine learning. She is the director of the Interpretable Machine Learning Lab at Duke University, where she is a professor of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, statistical science, and biostatistics and bioinformatics. Шаблон:R In 2022, she won the Squirrel AI Award for Artificial Intelligence for the Benefit of Humanity from the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) for her work on the importance of transparency for AI systems in high-risk domains.Шаблон:R

Education and career

Rudin graduated summa cum laude from the University at Buffalo with a double major in mathematical physics and music theory in 1999.Шаблон:R She completed her Ph.D. in applied and computational mathematics at Princeton University in 2004. Her dissertation – entitled Boosting, Margins, and Dynamics – was supervised by Ingrid Daubechies and Robert Schapire.Шаблон:R

Following positions as a postdoctoral researcher at New York University and an associate research scientist at Columbia University, she took a faculty position at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 2009, and then moved to Duke University in 2016.Шаблон:R

She has served as chair of the Data Mining Section of INFORMSШаблон:R and of the Statistical Learning and Data Science Section of the American Statistical AssociationШаблон:R. She served on the ISAT faculty advisory board for DARPA, was a councilor for AAAI, and a member of the Bureau of Justice Assistance Criminal Justice Technology Forecasting Group (BJA CJTFG). She currently serves on the executive committee member for ACM SIGKDDШаблон:R, and is a member of both the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics (CATS)Шаблон:R and the Committee on Law and Justice (CLAJ) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and MedicineШаблон:R. She is an associate editor for Management ScienceШаблон:R, the Harvard Data Science ReviewШаблон:R and the Journal of Quantitative CriminologyШаблон:R.

Additional awards and honours

In 2019, Rudin was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association,Шаблон:R and of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics "for her contributions to interpretable machine learning algorithms, prediction in large scale medical databases, and theoretical properties of ranking algorithms"Шаблон:R. She was elected as a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence in 2022. Шаблон:R

She received the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022.Шаблон:R

She received the 2013 INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award for her work on electrical grid reliability, the 2016 INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award for work on interpretable machine learning models for assessing cognitive decline, and the 2019 INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award for work on interpretable machine learning models for seizure prediction in critically ill patients, leading to the 2HELPS2B score used in intensive care units. Шаблон:R

Rudin was the co-winner of the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Best Operations Management paper in Operations Research Award from INFORMS in 2021. Шаблон:R

Rudin was a winner of the FICO Recognition Award for the Explainable Machine Learning Challenge in 2018. Шаблон:R

Rudin was a Finalist for 2017 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research in 2017. Шаблон:R

Rudin was named by Businessinsider.com as one of the 12 most impressive professors at MIT in 2015. Шаблон:R

Rudin has given keynotes talks at KDD (2014 and 2019) Шаблон:R, AISTATS Шаблон:R, and the Nobel Conference (2021)

Work

Starting in 2007, Rudin was the lead scientist on a collaborative project between Columbia University and Con Edison to use machine learning to maintain New York City's secondary electrical distribution network. This project was awarded the 2013 INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award. Шаблон:R

Along with student Tong Wang and detectives from the Cambridge Police Department, Cambridge MA, Rudin developed the Series Finder algorithmШаблон:R for crime series detection. Series Finder was built into the Patternizr algorithm Шаблон:R used by the NYPD to detect patterns of crime committed by the same individual(s).

Rudin's work on scoring systems with former student Berk Ustun was used for developing medical scoring systems for sleep apnea screening and diagnosis, for seizure prediction in ICU patients, for ADHD screening in adults, and for detection of cognitive decline using handwriting analysis (the Clock Drawing test). This work earned the 2016 and 2019 INFORMS Innovative Applications in Analytics Award, and was a finalist for the Wagner Prize. Шаблон:R

At Duke, Rudin coached two teams of undergraduate students who won the 2018 NTIRE Single Image Superresolution Competition (Track 1, classic bicubic), and the 2018 PoeTix Literary Turing Competition. Шаблон:R

Rudin is well known for her work critiquing black box models in the criminal justice system and for high-stakes decisions, on the grounds that interpretable models can be constructed that are equally accurate. Her work "Stop Explaining Black Box Machine Learning Models for High Stakes Decisions and use Interpretable Models Instead," Nature Machine Intelligence, 2019, outlines several other reasons. Шаблон:R She has led several efforts to encourage work on societal good applications in machine learning, including editing the Special Issue on Machine Learning for Science and Society in the Machine Learning journal Шаблон:R, and organizing the American Statistical Association's report "Discovery with Data: Leveraging Statistics with Computer Science to Transform Science and Society." Шаблон:R Her work is an influential source for the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence community.

In her graduate work at Princeton, Rudin proved convergence properties of boosting algorithms. Her PhD thesis answered a well-studied question of whether AdaBoost maximizes the L1 margin, which is a type of distance between a decision boundary and the data observation closest to it. Шаблон:R
