Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 4-5pm via Zoom
CPH Seminar Series: “Veridical Data Science: Toward Trustworthy AI”
While AI drives advances in biomedicine, human judgment throughout the data science life cycle–spanning problem formulation, data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, modeling, and reporting — introduces hidden uncertainties that can give rise to false diagnoses and other limitations. To meet these challenges, Bin Yu, PhD, introduces the PCS (Predictability, Computability, Stability) framework for veridical (truthful) data science in the first CPH seminar of the year!
