• Abstract: The paper introduces a new dataset to assess the performance of machine learning algorithms in the prediction of the seriousness of injury in a traffic accident. The dataset is created by aggregating publicly available datasets from the UK Department for Transport, which are drastically imbalanced with missing attributes sometimes approaching 50\% of the overall data dimensionality. The paper presents the data analysis pipeline starting from the publicly available data of road traffic accidents and ending with predictors of possible injuries and their degree of severity. It addresses the huge incompleteness of public data with a MissForest model. The paper also introduces two baseline approaches to create injury predictors: a supervised artificial neural network and a reinforcement learning model. The dataset can potentially stimulate diverse aspects of machine learning research on imbalanced datasets and the two approaches can be used as baseline references when researchers test more advanced learning algorithms in this area.

• 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 propose D-BIAS, a visual interactive tool that embodies human-in-the-loop AI approach for auditing and mitigating social biases. A user can detect the presence of bias against a group by identifying unfair causal relationships in the causal network. For each interaction, say weakening/deleting a biased causal edge, the system uses a novel method to simulate a new (debiased) dataset.

  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.

In deep learning, we show that the data-dependent regularizer due to dropout directly controls the Rademacher complexity of the underlying class of deep neural networks. We evaluate our theoretical findings on real-world datasets, including MovieLens, MNIST, and Fashion-MNIST.

  We bridge the gap between the abundance of available data and lack of relevant data, for the future learning tasks of a trained network. We use the available data, that may be an imbalanced subset of the original training dataset, or a related domain dataset, to retrieve representative samples. We demonstrate that data from a related domain can be leveraged to achieve state-of-the-art performance.
