@johnpdickerson @AIESConf Of course!

[Kathleen Cachel @KathCachel]

How can we measure fairness in decisions when there is no predictive model to audit nor does ground truth exist? This week @AIESConf I presented our work addressing this question for a large swath of subset selection tasks.

@johnpdickerson @AIESConf Thank you! I don’t know about a conference recording. But, in the ACM library (publicly available now) a video is included with the paper. It’s under “supplemental material”. https://t.co/VH5hpXBtp4

[Kathleen Cachel @KathCachel]

Now since there are many fairness metrics to choose from and they don't apply to each context (nor should they) we provide guidance to help select metrics and root this choice in the Worldview framework [Friedler et. al].

[Kathleen Cachel @KathCachel]

We package our metrics into an open-source python toolkit that is available here: https://t.co/0FfWMIowAl.

Exciting news about my current research!

Welp, I think the moral of the story is if you're a bird in Texas and you see a Southwest plane - fly! 🐦✈️ This week's #tidytuesday on birdstrikes. Code and more airlines here: https://t.co/7SSluStJaN

Here we go. The 2019 winner of our Science Ambassador Scholarship is Eva, a HS senior from Bellevue, Washington. She earned a full-tuition scholarship with her application video about...about uh...well you'll just have to watch it. https://t.co/2xbGd3OAtq

My first #TidyTuesday attempt with the #tidyverse! Revamping a plot from @TheEconomist. I focused on a few regions and played with bars and and a line to show how research is male dominated. Code here: https://t.co/ryrrb13zAs. Thanks for sharing the data and Viz @MissSarahLeo!

@JonTheGeek @R4DScommunity Thanks for sharing out my question! Lots of great suggestions to try out!
