Practical Causal Reasoning as a Means for Ethical ML
Isabel Valera, Uni Saarbrücken
In this talk I will give an overview of the role of causality in ethical machine learning, and in particular, in fair and explainable ML. In particular, I will first detail how to use causal reasoning to study fairness and interpretability problems in algorithmic decision making, stressing the main limitations that we encounter when aiming to …

Veridical Data Science and PCS Uncertainty Quantification
Bin Yu, Berkeley
Data Science is central to Al and has driven most of the recent advances in biomedicine and beyond. Human judgment calls are ubiquitous at every step of the data science life cycle (DSLC): problem formulation, data cleaning, EDA, modeling, and reporting. Auch judgment calls are often responsible for the “dangers” of Al by creating a universe of …
