• Title: Machine Learning and Data Science approach towards trend and predictors analysis of CDC Mortality Data for the USA
• Authors: Yasir Nadeem, Awais Ahmed
• Abstract summary: The study concluded (based on a sample) life expectancy regardless of gender, and their central tendencies; Marital status of the people also affected how frequent deaths were for each of them. The study shows that machine learning predictions aren't as viable for the data as it might be apparent.

• Abstract: The research on mortality is an active area of research for any country where the conclusions are driven from the provided data and conditions. The domain knowledge is an essential but not a mandatory skill (though some knowledge is still required) in order to derive conclusions based on data intuition using machine learning and data science practices. The purpose of conducting this project was to derive conclusions based on the statistics from the provided dataset and predict label(s) of the dataset using supervised or unsupervised learning algorithms. The study concluded (based on a sample) life expectancy regardless of gender, and their central tendencies; Marital status of the people also affected how frequent deaths were for each of them. The study also helped in finding out that due to more categorical and numerical data, anomaly detection or under-sampling could be a viable solution since there are possibilities of more class labels than the other(s). The study shows that machine learning predictions aren't as viable for the data as it might be apparent.

  This position paper proposes a data-centric viewpoint of AI research, focusing on large language models (LLMs) We make the key observation that data is instrumental in the developmental (e.g., pretraining and fine-tuning) and inferential stages (e.g., in-context learning) of LLMs. We identify four specific scenarios centered around data, covering data-centric benchmarks and data curation, data attribution, knowledge transfer, and inference contextualization.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

• Towards Assessing Data Bias in Clinical Trials [0.0]
  Health care datasets can still be affected by data bias. Data bias provides a distorted view of reality, leading to wrong analysis results and, consequently, decisions. This paper proposes a method to address bias in datasets that: (i) defines the types of data bias that may be present in the dataset, (ii) characterizes and quantifies data bias with adequate metrics, and (iii) provides guidelines to identify, measure, and mitigate data bias for different data sources.

  We design experiments from Identically Independent Distribution(IID) and Out of Distribution(OOD) Under IID condition, the amount of information determines the effectivity of each sample, the contribution of samples and difference between classes determine the amount of class information. Under OOD condition, the cross-domain degree of samples determine the contributions, and the bias-fitting caused by irrelevant elements is a significant factor of cross-domain.

  Under-representation of groups in datasets can lead to inaccurate predictions for certain groups, which can exacerbate systemic discrimination issues. We propose TRAPDOOR, a methodology for identification of biased datasets by repurposing a technique that has been mostly proposed for nefarious purposes: Neural network backdoors. Using a real-world cancer dataset, we analyze the dataset with the bias that already existed towards white individuals and also introduced biases in datasets artificially.
