    In 2016, Women at Two Sigma (W@TS), one of the company’s four employee resource groups, established our Circles program. The aim was to create a tight micro-community where women could discuss career progression, work-life balance, and other related topics that might not be as easy to discuss candidly in existing settings. “When I got to Two Sigma, Circles helped me feel totally comfortable that I was working at the right place—and I want others to feel that, too,” shared Melissa Isaacs, head of the End User Services engineering team.

    Claudia Perlich is an outstanding example of women in machine learning. While her passion for machine learning is evident, it was not her original interest. When asked how she first became interested in machine learning, Claudia shared "My interest in machine learning developed almost accidentally. Growing up I was really interested in biology and animals in particular. Not the small ones though - I was an avid lover of horses! My mom quickly cured me of my dream of becoming a vet by sending me to work in a cow stable for two weeks. Instead, my dad convinced me that there would be a future in CS and that I could decide later. So, in 1995 I picked a course on “artificial neural networks” during my CS grad school, just because it sounded cool and seemed to have a taste of biology in the name. Little did I know that the underlying technology would revolutionize AI a good 20 years later. But during that course I fell in love with working with data; it is incredible how much you can learn about people without having to talk to them. Regular CS can be very dry and somewhat abstract, but here was an opportunity to engage with the world and learn about all kinds of domains from medical applications like breast cancer and hospital readmissions to advertising and finance." Thank you Claudia for your positive representation of women in machine learning and your many contributions to the field.
