• Abstract: Finding the factors contributing to criminal activities and their consequences is essential to improve quantitative crime research. To respond to this concern, we examine an extensive set of features from different perspectives and explanations. Our study aims to build data-driven models for predicting future crime occurrences. In this paper, we propose the use of streetlight infrastructure and Foursquare data along with demographic characteristics for improving future crime incident prediction. We evaluate the classification performance based on various feature combinations as well as with the baseline model. Our proposed model was tested on each smallest geographic region in Halifax, Canada. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating diverse sources of data to gain satisfactory classification performance.

  We first contribute a dedicated dataset called the Fair Forgery Detection (FairFD) dataset, where we prove the racial bias of public state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods. Different from existing forgery detection datasets, the self-construct FairFD dataset contains a balanced racial ratio and diverse forgery generation images with the largest-scale subjects. We design novel metrics including Approach Averaged Metric and Utility Regularized Metric, which can avoid deceptive results.

  sociodemographic prompting is a technique that steers the output of prompt-based models towards answers that humans with specific sociodemographic profiles would give. We show that sociodemographic information affects model predictions and can be beneficial for improving zero-shot learning in subjective NLP tasks.

  Large amounts of training data are one of the major reasons for the high performance of state-of-the-art NLP models. We provide a language for describing how training data influences predictions, through a causal framework. Our framework bypasses the need to retrain expensive models and allows us to estimate causal effects based on observational data alone.
