AI and Big Data A blueprint for a human rights and social and ethical impact ...
Building on studies of the collective dimension of data protection, this article sets out to embed this new perspective in an assessment model centred on human rights (Human... -
An ethico-legal framework for social data science
This paper presents a framework for research infrastructures enabling ethically sensitive and legally compliant data science in Europe. Our goal is to describe how to design... -
A theoretical model for pattern discovery in visual analytics
The word ‘pattern’ frequently appears in the visualisation and visual analytics literature, but what do we mean when we talk about patterns? We propose a practicable... -
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 Survey of Methods for Explaining Black Box Models
In recent years, many accurate decision support systems have been constructed as black boxes, that is as systems that hide their internal logic to the user. This lack of... -
Angel efficient and effective node centric community discovery in static and ...
Community discovery is one of the most challenging tasks in social network analysis. During the last decades, several algorithms have been proposed with the aim of identifying... -
A Critical Reassessment of the Saerens-Latinne-Decaestecker Algorithm
We critically re-examine the Saerens-Latinne-Decaestecker (SLD) algorithm, a well-known method for estimating class prior probabilities (“priors”) and adjusting posterior... -
On the performance of learned data structures
A recent trend in algorithm design consists of augmenting classic data structures with machine learning models, which are better suited to reveal and exploit patterns and... -
Data science: a game changer for science and innovation
This paper shows data science’s potential for disruptive innovation in science, industry, policy, and people’s lives. We present how data science impacts science and society... -
