Study finds that even the best speech recognition systems exhibit bias
This article originally appeared on VentureBeat and is reproduced with permission. Even state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) algorithms struggle to recognize the accents of people from certain regions of the world. That’s the top-line finding of a new study published by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Cancer …
Genesis of a Model Intelligence Platform – Truera
In this start-up highlight piece, we discuss how a CMU professor and his former grad student are ushering in a new era of responsible AI, and helping companies address bias in their AI models. This is a short story of the genesis of Truera.
AI-driven Platform Identifies and Remediates Biases in Data
Synthesized has released the Community Edition of its data platform for Bias Mitigation. Released as a freemium version, the offering incorporates AI research and cutting-edge techniques to enable any organization to quickly identify potential biases within their data and immediately start to remediate these flaws.
Addressing AI Trust, Systemic Bias & Transparency as Business Priorities
Trustworthy, Fair, Transparent and Responsible AI is the number one priority for business leaders for very good reason. Noting the size of fines regulators are handing out for misuse of AI, the risk of going live with an AI system that nobody understands, the bias that leads to irreparable brand …
How Do We Make It Easier To Trust?
In this contributed article, Sean Beard, Vice President at Pariveda Solutions, discusses how automating trust presents a new set of challenges to an organization due to the subject nature of trust. Businesses must develop a better understanding of bias in their data and how different business contexts are applied to …

COVID-19 predictions, Dunning-Kruger effect and Hippocratic oath of a data scientist
Experienced machine learning professionals understand the limitations of modeling. Given what impact they can have on lives, society and economy, one has to understand their social responsibility in communicating insights.
COVID-19 predictions, Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Hippocratic Oath of a Data Scientist
Some close friends have asked if I have been analyzing the COVID-19 datasets. Yes, I have been looking at these datasets. However, my analysis has been just out of curiosity and not with the intent of publishing my forecast or recommendations.

There is No Noise — Only Bias
There is No Noise — Only BiasUnderstanding why noise in machine learning is nothing but biasIn this post, we explain how bias and noise in machine learning are two sides of the same coin.God does not play dice. — Albert EinsteinEinstein famously gave this statement in reaction to the emerging …
Researcher Develops Algorithm to Make Artificial Intelligence Fairer
A researcher from Queen’s University Belfast has developed an innovative new algorithm that will help make artificial intelligence (AI) fairer and less biased when processing data. Companies often use AI technologies to sift through huge amounts of data in situations such as an oversubscribed job vacancy or in policing when …
Methods of Study Design – Experiments
We all are familiar with experiments, we read about them in books or newspapers. Researchers/ scientists perform experiments to validate their hypothesis/ statements or to test a new product. Unlike observational studies, experiments are performed in a controlled environment so that the effect of other external factors/variables can be eliminated …
