Algorithmic Decision Making Based on ML from Big Data. Can Transparency Resto...
Decision-making assisted by algorithms developed by machine learning is increasingly determining our lives. Unfortunately, full opacity about the process is the norm. Would... -
Multi layered Explanations from Algorithmic Impact Assessments in the GDPR
Impact assessments have received particular attention on both sides of the Atlantic as a tool for implementing algorithmic accountability. The aim of this paper is to address... -
Machine Learning Explainability Via Microaggregation and Shallow Decision Trees
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being deployed in missions that are increasingly critical for human life. To build trust in AI and avoid an algorithm-based authoritarian... -
Explanation of Deep Models with Limited Interaction for Trade Secret and Priv...
An ever-increasing number of decisions affecting our lives are made by algorithms. For this reason, algorithmic transparency is becoming a pressing need: automated decisions... -
Grounds for Trust. Essential Epistemic Opacity and Computational Reliabilism
Several philosophical issues in connection with computer simulations rely on the assumption that results of simulations are trustworthy. Examples of these include the debate... -
Solving the Black Box Problem. A Normative Framework for Explainable Artifici...
Many of the computing systems programmed using Machine Learning are opaque: it is difficult to know why they do what they do or how they work. Explainable Artificial... -
Toward Accountable Discrimination Aware Data Mining
"Big Data" and data-mined inferences are affecting more and more of our lives, and concerns about their possible discriminatory effects are growing. Methods for... -
Machine Learning Explainability Through Comprehensible Decision Trees
The role of decisions made by machine learning algorithms in our lives is ever increasing. In reaction to this phenomenon, the European General Data Protection Regulation... -
How the machine thinks. Understanding opacity in machine learning algorithms
This article considers the issue of opacity as a problem for socially consequential mechanisms of classification and ranking, such as spam filters, credit card fraud... -
Seeing without knowing. Limitations of transparency and its application to al...
Models for understanding and holding systems accountable have long rested upon ideals and logics of transparency. Being able to see a system is sometimes equated with being able... -
Bias in algorithmic filtering and personalization
Online information intermediaries such as Facebook and Google are slowly replacing traditional media channels thereby partly becoming the gatekeepers of our society. To deal... -
Algorithmic decision making and the cost of fairness
Algorithms are now regularly used to decide whether defendants awaiting trial are too dangerous to be released back into the community. In some cases, black defendants are... -
Accountability for the Use of Algorithms in a Big Data Environment
Accountability is the ability to provide good reasons in order to explain and to justify actions, decisions, and policies for a (hypothetical) forum of persons or... -
Algorithmic Accountability and Public Reason
The ever-increasing application of algorithms to decision-making in a range of social contexts has prompted demands for algorithmic accountability. Accountable decision-makers... -
A qualitative exploration of perceptions of algorithmic fairness
Algorithmic systems increasingly shape information people are exposed to as well as influence decisions about employment, finances, and other opportunities. In some cases,... -
The fundamental rights challenges of algorithms
Algorithms form an increasingly important part of our daily lives, even if we are often unaware of it. They are enormously useful in many different ways. They facilitate the... -
Ethical Value Centric Cybersecurity. A Methodology Based on a Value Graph
Our society is being shaped in a non-negligible way by the technological advances of recent years, especially in information and communications technologies (ICTs). The... -
Privacy in the clouds
Informational self-determination refers to the right or ability of individuals to exercise personal control over the collection, use and disclosure of their personal data by... -
Big Data Ethics
The speed of development in Big Data and associated phenomena, such as social media, has surpassed the capacity of the average consumer to understand his or her actions and... -
Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems
A key goal of the fair-ML community is to develop machine-learning based systems that, once introduced into a social context, can achieve social and legal outcomes such as...
