Alexandria Storm talks about the importance of having an inclusive group when developing software. She recently completed an internship with the Microsoft Bing team and she describes how a diverse representation can improve natural language processing - making searches more relevant by supporting different languages and dialects and taking into account location-sensitive searches.  

She also discusses the importance of inclusion among tech companies and entrepreneurs for underrepresented groups, such as women, people of color, and queer and trans people.
