About the video
Abhishek Mandal, a PhD researcher whose focus is computer vision (and one of Women at the Table’s first Tech Fellows) focusses on Generated Bias: Gender and Geographic Bias in Generative AI.
His research has been groundbreaking in terms of focus on both gender and geography in multi-modal contexts.
This is a simple primer on his work based on a recent paper Measuring Bias in Multimodal Models: Multimodal Composite Association Score (which seeks to help mitigate, or at least score, the problem).
