Big cities foster socioeconomic segregation. Here's how we can fix that

Using cellphone data, Stanford researchers determined how often people of different socioeconomic statuses crossed paths. Their research shows people in big cities do not interact with others outside their own socioeconomic bracket, but locating public infrastructure between neighborhoods foster more socioeconomic mixing that will promote diversity. 

Technology vs. Inequality

Vehicle-mounted sensors, cameras and other devices are being used by Stanford researchers to help assess neighborhood conditions such as air quality, potholes and building deterioration. The goal of the project is to enhance the living conditions and wellbeing of communities that have been long marginalized and neglected.

Shortcomings of Visualizations for Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning

Visualization for Machine Learning or VIS4ML can help developers better design, train, and understand their models. A recent paper available on preprint service ArXiv.org and accepted for publication at IEEE VIS, by a faculty fellow at Stanford HAI, finds that researchers in this space are making inappropriately broad claims about their tools' applicability.
