Manifesto:

- Augment Human Learning with Machine Learning: Especially for social good.

- Utilize Unconventional Approaches to Complex Problems: Develop simple solutions.

While these two ideas may seem disparate, they are interdependent. Humans often hold false notions about the world and encounter misinformation, yet we excel in learning within noisy environments. Augmenting human learning with machine learning requires a deeper understanding of learning in such environments. Across healthcare, agriculture, politics, economics, and transportation, our future as a species relies on the increasing synergy between machine learning and human learning. It is paramount that we develop tools to handle real-world uncertainty while ensuring our advancements in machine intelligence are directed toward social good.
