Part of Human-centered AI research. Working on safety and human evaluations for user-facing features in Apple Services ( TV, Music etc.)

Part of the Responsible AI group at the AI Institute. Built ML models and evaluated LLMs for failures like hallucinations, privacy leaks, classification fairness gaps etc. Built synthetic datasets for evals.Tools: PyTorch, HuggingFace, Opacus, LangChain, slurm etc.

Worked on measuring bias and discriminatory behavior of machine learning systems.• Led multiple large-scale projects to quantify discrimination and bias in online advertising (published at CSCW, WSDM, FAccT, RecSys)• Set up data collection pipelines, analyzed observational and experimental data on a daily basis; modeled and visualized data to test hypothesesHomepage: https://khoury.northeastern.edu/~mali/Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=pLeu3X0AAAAJ&hl=en

Led research study design and experimentation for measuring gender bias and stereotypes in language models: https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.21058• Pretrained and fine-tuned several LLMs (BERT variants), varying model size, on CommonCrawl and Wikipedia data• Spearheaded weekly project progress; built visualizations, wrote results; presented results to entire org

• Proposed a project road-map for the AI and Analytics team’s explainability efforts for open-source models• Built pipelines for model card generation in TensorFlow; wrote explainability demos for multiple models with SHAP• Led responsible AI education efforts for the team; presented results to org and across the company

Part of Krishna Gummadi's Networked Systems group.Areas: computational social science, algorithm auditing, (a little bit of) using social media data for demography.(retired) Homepage: https://people.mpi-sws.org/~muali/

Built new features (e.g. most played songs), rewrote parts of the backend API, built graph databases for the platform's social features.

Part of the Neighborhood for Emerging World Technologies (NEWT) lab. Maintained disease surveillance systems developed in collaboration with the provincial government.
