In this talk, Holden Karau will share her experiences building the Fight Health Insurance platform, tell how it was built, and describe the motivations behind it (i.e., the American healthcare system is broken) and its (early) impact. You'll learn about how we can use computers for good and some of the limits we face (namely, AI will not fix everything, but we can stop some of the bleeding for now). Some of the content here will include mentions of surgery, broken bones, fax machines, and being a trans immigrant in America -- please prioritize your emotional well-being and if these topics sound like too much for you, but you're still interested in learning more, come and join the workshop that happens after where we'll be even more focused on the technology (although mentions of health insurance are understandably unavoidable).
Workshop: Contributing to Open-Source AI Tools with a focus on Fight Health Insurance
(Developers and non-developers welcome)
In this workshop, we'll have four tracks, with two for developers and two for non-developers.
For developers:
- Improving Retrieval Augmented Generation -- incorporating external data into your model without (mostly Python)
- Improving ML front-ends (Python, Javascript, Typescript, CSS, or HTML)
For non-developers (or developers who want to take a break from writing code):
- Improving Machine Learning Models Through Content Labeling
- Improving access to ML tools for social good through documentation
