This is the highest honor ever! I am so inspired to see such young girls relating to technologies like Search and Alexa. I am humbled and touched beyond words by their recognition (btw I only contributed to these , definitely did not invent:) These girls are our future!
Kudos @davidcarmel and Liane for pulling this in such complicated times. Exciting program and there is still time to register for those who haven't already!!
Amazon scientists Liane Lewin-Eytan and @davidcarmel are two of the general chairs at @WSDMSocial. They discuss trends in this year's paper submissions, how the scale of the web transforms familiar problems, and their own work. #AmazonScience#WSDM2021amzn.to/3uYsZYz
