Harvard Data Science Review PodcastData Science for Criminal Justice: Can We Avoid Black Box Algorithms for High-Stake Decisions?In this episode we examine the use of secret or black box algorithms for high-stake decisions, particularly in the criminal justice system. How do they factor in the decisions made every day by state and federal courts concerning bail, sentencing, and parole? Are black box algorithms fair and unbiased? Do they help counteract or support societal prejudices? Is their use in criminal justice cases serving the public’s best interest?
We discuss these issues and more with two experts on the topic: Cynthia Rudin, Professor of Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Statistical Science, Mathematics, and Biostatistics & Bio...2022-01-2541 min
Experiencing Data w/ Brian T. O’Neill (UX for AI Data Products, SAAS Analytics, Data Product Management)082 - What the 2021 $1M Squirrel AI Award Winner Wants You To Know About Designing Interpretable Machine Learning Solutions w/ Cynthia RudinEpisode Description
As the conversation around AI continues, Professor Cynthia Rudin, Computer Scientist and Director at the Prediction Analysis Lab at Duke University, is here to discuss interpretable machine learning and her incredible work in this complex and evolving field. To begin, she is the most recent (2021) recipient of the $1M Squirrel AI Award for her work on making machine learning more interpretable to users and ultimately more beneficial to humanity.
In this episode, we explore the distinction between explainable and interpretable machine learning and how black boxes aren’t necessarily “better” than more interpretable models. Cynthia offers...2022-01-1137 min
Utilizing Tech: The Podcast Series About Emerging Technology3x16: Utilizing AI in 2022 with Chris Grundemann and Frederic Van HarenAI is now widespread, and companies are starting to look at the real-world impact of machine learning. In this special episode of the Utilizing AI podcast, the three hosts look forward to AI in 2022 and revisit some of our guest questions from season three. First, we turn to the specific markets and verticals served by AI applications. We feel that datasets and models will increasingly be focused on specific business uses instead of being general-purpose tools. Next, we consider how the AI industry is increasingly concerned about ethics, bias, and privacy of data. Industry leaders like Timnit Gebru and...2022-01-0435 min

Department of StatisticsDo Simpler Models Exist and How Can We Find Them?Cynthia Rudin (Duke University) gives a OxCSML Seminar on Friday 14th May 2021. Abstract: While the trend in machine learning has tended towards more complex hypothesis spaces, it is not clear that this extra complexity is always necessary or helpful for many domains. In particular, models and their predictions are often made easier to understand by adding interpretability constraints. These constraints shrink the hypothesis space; that is, they make the model simpler. Statistical learning theory suggests that generalization may be improved as a result as well. However, adding extra constraints can make optimization (exponentially) harder. For instance it is much easier...2021-07-2956 min
