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 …

Democratizing Methods

Jennifer Hill, New York University

The past few decades have seen an explosion in the development of freely available software to implement statistical methods and algorithms to help explore and analyze data. However, researchers tend to assume that releasing software packages implementing specific methods is sufficient for ensuring that the tools are adopted and used correctly. …

Epistemology and Theory of Machine Learning

Limits, Interpretability, and Knowledge in Modern AI

This is the second edition of the Epistemology and Theory of Machine Learning series started in 2023. The rapid rise and huge impact of methods in machine learning raises important philosophical questions. There is, in particular, an increasing interest in questions of epistemology: how exactly do machine learning methods contribute to the pursuit …

Robustness in Semiparametric Statistics

Rajen Shah, University of Cambridge

Given that all models are wrong, it is important to understand the performance of methods when the settings for which they have been designed are not met, and to modify them where possible so they are robust to these sorts of departures from the ideal. We present two examples with this broad goal in mind. We first look at a classical case of model …
