Machine Learning advances have revolutionized many domains such as machine translation, complex game playing, and scientific discovery. On the other hand, ML has only enjoyed modest successes in human-centered applications. To improve the utility, reliability, and robustness of Machine Learning (ML) models in human-centered domains, we need to address several foundational challenges.
