These judgment calls introduce hidden uncertainties that go well beyond sampling variability and drive many of the risks associated with AI.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe introduce veridical data science, grounded in three fundamental principles\u2014Predictability, Computability, and Stability (PCS)\u2014to make such uncertainties explicit and assessable and to aggregate reality-checked algorithms for better results. The PCS framework unifies and extends best practices in statistics and machine learning and is illustrated through healthcare applications, including identifying genetic drivers of heart disease, reducing cost of prostate cancer detection, improving uncertainty quantification beyond standard conformal prediction, and proposing, Green Shielding, a new user-centric framework for safeguarding users of AI.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EAbout: Dr. Yu\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Bin Yu is CDSS Chancellor\u0027s Distinguished Professor in Statistics, EECS, Center for Computational Biology, and Senior Advisor at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, all at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses on the practice and theory of statistical machine learning, veridical data science, responsible and safe AI, and solving interdisciplinary data problems in neuroscience, genomics, and precision medicine. She and her team have developed algorithms such as iterative random forests (iRF), stability-driven NMF, adaptive wavelet distillation (AWD), Contextual Decomposition for Transformers (CD-T), SPEX and ProxySPEX for interpreting deep learning models, especially for compositional interpretability.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EShe is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She was a Guggenheim Fellow, President of Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), and delivered the Tukey Lecture of the Bernoulli Society, the Breiman Lecture at NeurIPS, the IMS Rietz Lecture, and the Wald Memorial Lectures (the highest honor of IMS), and Distinguished Achievement Award and Lecture (formerly Fisher Lecture) of COPSS (Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies). She holds an Honorary Doctorate from The University of Lausanne. She is on the Editorial Board of Proceedings of National Academy of Science (PNAS) and a co-editor of the Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EISyE welcomes Dr. Bin Yu (CDSS Chancellor\u0027s Distinguished Professor in Statistics, EECS, Center for Computational Biology, University of California, Berkeley) as the keynote speaker for its 2026 LeeAnn and Walter Muller Distinguished Scholarship Lecture Series.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"2026 ISyE LeeAnn and Walter Muller Distinguished Scholarship Lecture Series with Dr. Bin Yu"}],"uid":"36736","created_gmt":"2026-03-05 19:55:18","changed_gmt":"2026-03-05 20:18:31","author":"ebrown386","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-03-30T15:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-03-30T16:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-03-30T16:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-03-30 19:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-03-30 20:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-03-30 20:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Exhibition Hall - Kirkwood Room","extras":[],"hg_media":{"679535":{"id":"679535","type":"image","title":"LeeAnn and Walter Muller Distinguished Scholarship Lecture Series - Dr. Bin Yu","body":"\u003Cp\u003EISyE LeeAnn and Walter Muller Distinguished Scholarship Lecture Series\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","created":"1772740844","gmt_created":"2026-03-05 20:00:44","changed":"1772740844","gmt_changed":"2026-03-05 20:00:44","alt":"LeeAnn and Walter Muller Distinguished Scholarship Lecture Series ","file":{"fid":"263708","name":"DLS-226---Vertical-Monitor--1080-x-1158-px---2-.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/05\/DLS-226---Vertical-Monitor--1080-x-1158-px---2-.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2026\/03\/05\/DLS-226---Vertical-Monitor--1080-x-1158-px---2-.png","mime":"image\/png","size":713710,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2026\/03\/05\/DLS-226---Vertical-Monitor--1080-x-1158-px---2-.png?itok=upmesjHY"}}},"media_ids":["679535"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/eforms.isye.gatech.edu\/distinguished-scholarship-lecture-series","title":"RSVP"}],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"194683","name":"Talk"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"194945","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
