Machine Learning

  • Driver of two different domains:
    1. Data Science: arises from the fact that we now capture data by happenstance.
    2. Artificial Intelligence: emulation of human behaviour.
  • Connection: Internet of Things

What does Machine Learning do?

  • ML Automates through Data
    • Strongly related to statistics.
    • Field underpins revolution in data science and AI
  • With AI:
    • logic, robotics, computer vision, speech
  • With Data Science:
    • databases, data mining, statistics, visualization

FIT Models to FIT Systems

  • Focus in machine learning has been on FAcT learning.
  • Fairness, accountability and Transparency in individual models.
  • But individual models aren’t the problem.
  • Fariness, interpetability and transparency required for whole system.

How GDPR May Help

  • Reflection on data eco-systems.
  • GDPR: Good Data Practice Rules
  • When viewed as best practice rather than regulation they hightlight problems in data ecosystems.
