It is important to understand where and how these systems can reflect, amplify or introduce bias into our decision-making, particularly in life-altering and vulnerable situations where these biases can result in harm.
The People in Computing series of Selects is intended to showcase members of the ACM, from all walks of life, whose stories are an inspiration for the larger computing community.
Machine learning is the science of teaching computers how to accurately discover, contextualize and act on data through experience. This ACM Selects highlights several resources to build an understanding of the ideas, challenges and ways to get started in the field.
This week’s Select will focus on the things you might need to become proficient at in your first year - things that bring Software Engineering beyond coursework or an academic endeavour to a practice.
Let us know how we can improve your ACM Selects experiences, what topics you would like us to cover in the future, whether you would like to contribute and/or subscribe to our newsletter by emailing selects-feedback@acm.org.
