DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Emma Pierson (Cornell University)\n\nTitle:  Using ma
 chine learning to increase equity in healthcare and public health.\n\nAbst
 ract:  Our society remains profoundly unequal. This talk discusses how dat
 a science and machine learning can be used to combat inequality in health 
 care and public health by presenting several vignettes from domains like p
 olicing\, women's health\, and cancer risk prediction.\n\nBio: Emma Pierso
