Objectives

Students will be able to:

  • consider the effect of bias on a Machine Learning model

Machine Learning

Bias

Theme A4

Data is used to train Machine Learning models.

But where does the data come from? And have the human experts considered whether or not the data is biased in some way.

For example, imagine an AI model that is able to scrutinise resumes and recommend certain people for certain jobs.

If the training data was mostly based on a certain gender for example, it increases the liklihood that other genders will be excluded from the model's output/prediction.

Selecting appropriate training data is essential to reduce the oppotunity for bias in a machine learning model.

Task
