ALGORITHMIC BIAS WORKSHOP

Fri. February 18th, 2PM, LLCS (Living Learning Center South) 101
Part of the Responsible Data Science Workshop Series (Winter and Spring 2022)

The “Responsible Data Science” series is a joint venture of the UO Data Science Initiative, Department of Philosophy, School of Law, and Oregon Health Sciences University. Each workshop in the series will focus on a different topic of concern for data-centric research environments. The first workshop is coming up on Friday, February 18th at 2:00 in LLCS (Living Learning Center South) 101, on the topic of Algorithmic Bias with NMCC faculty-affiliate, Ramon Alvarado (Assistant Professor of Philosophy).

The Algorithmic Bias Workshop will offer a set of conceptual tools for identifying forms of bias at different stages of the machine learning pipeline. We will also explore strategies for mitigating the unwanted effects of algorithmic bias. If these issues are relevant to your work, please come, bring a computer, and be prepared with questions.
