Exposing the many biases in machine learning

Abstract

In recent years, there have been numerous articles highlighting issues with bias in machine learning algorithms underpinning the use of AI in decision making. Specifically, algorithms trained on historical real-world observations. However, less is written about the many ways bias can be introduced into the machine learning process. This article outlines 12 different types of bias that can occur during the data science process, from capture through curation to analysis and application.
