Seminário: Chris Clifton (Purdue Univ)
Monday, 07 November 2016, 11:00 -  1:00

Palestra do prof. Chris Clifton (Purdue Univ) no Ciclo de Seminários PESC. 

 

Clifton vem ao Brasil para participar como palestrante internacional do SBSeg 2016. O tema de sua palestra no PESC será bem interessante, pois trata da discriminação de minorias inerente em muitos algoritmos que rodam em "Big Data". Como evitar que os algoritmos comecem a descriminar contra grupos de pessoas sub-representados? 

 

O prof. Clifton tem interesse em conhecer alunos e professores logo após a palestra. 

 

Programe-se, participe, e ajude na divulgação!

Palestrante:

Christopher W. Clifton, Professor, Purdue University, EUA

 

Título:

Dealing with Discriminatory Data Mining

 

Dia/horário/local:

Segunda, 7 de novembro, 11h, sala H-324B

 

Resumo:

There is growing evidence that algorithms running on "Big Data" can lead to outcomes that are biased against underrepresented groups. This is in spite of the fact that such group information (race, gender, religion, etc.) is not used by the algorithms. This talk will discuss some of the issues, pointing out evidence, and hypothesize causes. We will then look at one solution, based on adapting a Bayesian network classifier to reduce disparate impact on groups that are treated "differently" by the originally learned classifier.

 

This talk is based on work with Koray Mancuhan that appeared in Artificial Intelligence and Law (2014) 22:211-238.
