Evaluating fairness in machine learning with PyMC3 – Oliver Laslett

PyData London 2018

Machine learning and data science applications can be unintentionally biased if care is not taken to evaluate their effect on different sub-populations. However, by using a “fair” approach, machine decision making can potentially be less biased than human decision makers.

PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData conferences aim to be accessible and community-driven, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.
