Automatic decision making perhaps more spread than we realised. theguardian.com/society/2020/o…

OK, algorithms for coughing classification... weforum.org/agenda/2020/11…

Followed by whooa 2... nytimes.com/2020/09/24/tec… Would I like a drone filming inside my home? I love tech, and tech solutions, thanks but no thanks. :)

Whooa. theguardian.com/news/2020/oct/… I am not even sure what one says to this...

Break up Big Tech? politico.com/news/2020/10/0… House committee says yes.

For those who have been missing my @signmagazine columns on recent societal issues associated with algos, there is a new one out rss.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…… : again joint with @PurdueScience dean Patrick Wolfe and now for the first time with a @EPFL_en address. Please enjoy!

unsurprisingly, it seems to be all about the data :) ft.com/content/0aafc2…

Listening to the Ellis launch (which has an EPFL unit @EPFL_ELLIS_unit ). Nice to see excellence and breadth of ML research across Europe.

And the Lancet too I’m told thelancet.com/journals/landi…

So on another note; new standards for AI in clinical trials have just been published bmj.com/content/370/bm…, nature.com/articles/s4159… interesting...

Time flies @PurdueScience Patrick Wolfe and I edited a special issue on #AlgorithmsInSociety two years ago and this has now gone to Open Access at bit.ly/TransA-2128. Recommend checking out several of the papers from @mireillemoret @HetanShah @DanMercea and many others

@maddi_pow Don’t worry you’ll get used to it like the rest of us... :( there is also the final slide of dept.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~vnn/JSMPANEL/… .... The important thing is to not be shy to try again. :) and no getting disappointed doesn’t go away... Sofia

Important update! The reviewers *hated* it 🙂

Only 6% of all profs in maths in the UK are female, but 40% of all maths undergraduates are. I have co-founded the Piscopia Initiative to combat this "leaky pipeline". Read more about our initiative isabelladeutsch.com/2020/07/17/wom… #WomenInSTEM @PhDchatter @EdinburghUni @StudentExpGrant
