When Computers Stand in the Schoolhouse Door.

The article discusses the biases created by classification algorithms. Topics covered include the different ways algorithms may discriminate, the AdFisher program developed by computer science professor Anupam Datta of the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the challenges enc...

      ab: The article discusses the biases created by classification algorithms. Topics covered include the different ways algorithms may discriminate, the AdFisher program developed by computer science professor Anupam Datta of the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the challenges encountered in identifying the biases. It discusses the reported imbalance caused by biased decisions created by the classification algorithms.
