This paper seeks to study the limits of the definitions of algorithmic fairness in relation to a protected variable, namely skin color. Discrimination towards the black community have existed for a long time. ML algorithms have only amplified or revealed existing discrimination. AI is a mirror that reflects the reality of our societies. The lack of a universal definition of algorithmic fairness makes it difficult to detect cases of discrimination in machine learning algorithms. We believe that independent or sensitive variables such as skin color are benchmarks that could be used to decide whether or not a decision is fair. We also recommend avoiding the use of proxy data.
本文试图研究与受保护变量(即肤色)相关的算法公平性定义的局限性。对黑人的歧视由来已久。ML算法只是放大或揭示了现有的歧视。人工智能是一面反映我们社会现实的镜子。由于缺乏对算法公平性的通用定义,很难发现机器学习算法中的歧视案例。我们认为,独立或敏感的变量,如肤色,是可以用来决定一个决定是否公平的基准。我们还建议避免使用代理数据。

This theoretical article explores the Sociological Imagination as it relates to society in the age of emerging technology. Through the Sociological Imagination (SI), perspective helps provide a varied approach and lens when looking at society and technology. This paper looks through the lens of a female, woman of color and how their personal experiences and expertise as a Sociologist can contribute to the technical community in helping them engage in alternate views through the Sociological Imagination. This paper attempts to introduce the concept of the Sociological Imagination through issues of disparities in marginalized groups and spaces, breaking down biases through a Sociological lens. The Sociological Imagination is then coupled with the introduction of the Treadmill of Production, a Sociological Theory used to describe technology and its effect on society. Together the Sociological Imagination and the Treadmill of Production (TTP) are introduced to provide tools in helping technical scientists interpret the world around them.
这篇理论文章探讨了社会学想象,因为它与新兴技术时代的社会有关。通过社会学想象(SI),视角有助于在观察社会和技术时提供不同的方法和镜头。这篇论文通过一个有色人种女性的视角,以及她们作为社会学家的个人经历和专业知识如何为技术社区做出贡献,帮助她们通过社会学想象参与到不同的观点中来。本文试图通过边缘化群体和空间的差异问题来引入社会学想象的概念,通过社会学的视角打破偏见。然后,社会学想象与生产跑步机的引入相结合,这是一种用于描述技术及其对社会影响的社会学理论。社会学的想象力和生产的跑步机(TTP)一起被引入,为帮助技术科学家解释他们周围的世界提供了工具。

In this paper, we describe a novel application area of recommendation systems; helping people with disabilities find accessible Point-of-Interest (POI) using binary ratings on various accessibility criteria based on crowd-sourced data. We discuss an adaptive aggregation technique based on time fading aggregation for binary rating stream to predict the current state or confidence of each accessibility criteria for POIs. The confidence along with the user profile is used to calculate personalized accessibility score for the POI. The proposed method can be used with other POI recommendation criteria to recommend accessible places to users. We evaluate our model using synthesized datasets of different size that simulate the change of accessibility confidence over time. On comparison of the results with widely used adaptive, as well as non-adaptive aggregation techniques, we found that the proposed technique significantly improves the accuracy.
在本文中,我们描述了推荐系统的一个新的应用领域;利用基于众包数据的各种无障碍标准的二元评级,帮助残疾人找到可访问的兴趣点(POI)。讨论了一种基于时间衰落聚合的二元评级流自适应聚合技术,以预测poi的每个可达性标准的当前状态或置信度。使用置信度和用户配置文件来计算POI的个性化可访问性得分。所提出的方法可以与其他POI推荐标准一起使用,向用户推荐可访问的地点。我们使用不同大小的综合数据集来评估我们的模型,这些数据集模拟了可达性置信度随时间的变化。将结果与广泛使用的自适应聚合技术和非自适应聚合技术进行比较,我们发现该技术显著提高了精度。

Based on the lack of futures studies for professionals who wish to innovate and create solutions that will bring an economic and social impact, this paper helps the entire university community to prepare and create a desirable future based on Human-Centered Design. The final product meets the expectations of a sustainable world, from the perspective of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The analysis was based on a design futures process, within the realization of interviews with the groups of interest, the evaluation, and treatment of data obtained through them. In addition, there was a debate on alternatives for futures that are not commonly seen, provoking speculation and breaking out of common thought, and the realization of a mini co-creative forum inviting them to create futures through drawings and newspaper headlines, then was possible to investigate the motivation and intentions behind these visions. With the results, statistical and ethnographic studies were made to obtain a future forecast. From the analysis it was possible to create the definition of the Future Intention and future alternatives based on the Future Cone, Polarity Map and finally, creation of a Minimum Viable Future. It was also possible to project future perspectives of the Undergraduate major in Electrical Engineering at the Federal University of Campina Grande, PB-Brazil, creating future scenarios of the course and proposing solutions in order to improve everyone’s experience and the technological impact in the Brazilian political-economic scenario.
基于缺乏未来研究的专业人士谁希望创新和创造解决方案,将带来经济和社会的影响,本文帮助整个大学社区准备和创造一个理想的未来基于以人为本的设计。从联合国可持续发展目标的角度来看,最终产品符合可持续发展世界的期望。分析是基于设计未来的过程,在实现与感兴趣的群体的访谈,评估和处理通过他们获得的数据。此外,还对不常见的期货替代方案进行了辩论,引发了猜测,打破了共识,并实现了一个小型的共同创作论坛,邀请他们通过图纸和报纸头条来创造期货,然后有可能调查这些愿景背后的动机和意图。根据结果,进行了统计和民族志研究,以获得未来的预测。通过分析,可以根据未来锥体、极性图创建未来意向和未来替代方案的定义,最后创建最小可行未来。此外,还可以预测巴西坎皮纳格兰德联邦大学电气工程本科专业的未来前景,创建课程的未来场景,并提出解决方案,以改善每个人的体验和技术对巴西政治经济场景的影响。

The economic impacts of COVID-19 on the United States economy have been devastating for many Americans, but have been especially damaging for Native Americans, tribal governments, and tribal enterprises. On-reservation Native Americans especially have struggled as their governments lose revenue from casinos and other enterprises while attempting to address social and health needs of their citizens. COVID-19 has forced increased adoption of automation in the workplace that will heavily impact Native Americans, due to their increased exposure to the effects of automation in the leisure, transportation, education, and health industries. This paper highlights the unique position that Native Americans and tribal governments face during COVID-19 economic recovery and beyond as well as policy options tribes can implement to mitigate the looming threat of automation on their tribal citizens.
2019冠状病毒病对美国经济的影响对许多美国人来说是毁灭性的,但对美洲原住民、部落政府和部落企业的损害尤其严重。印第安人的处境尤其艰难,因为他们的政府在试图解决其公民的社会和健康需求的同时,失去了从赌场和其他企业获得的收入。COVID-19迫使工作场所更多地采用自动化,这将严重影响美洲原住民,因为他们在休闲、交通、教育和卫生行业中越来越多地受到自动化的影响。本文强调了美洲原住民和部落政府在2019冠状病毒病经济复苏期间及其后所面临的独特地位,以及部落可以实施的政策选择,以减轻自动化对其部落公民迫在眉睫的威胁。

Child violence is one of the most heinous crimes prevailing in our society. Any form of abuse or violence to a child does matter and cannot be overlooked. It affects the mental health of a child so deeply that it influences his later life. So, taking proper measurements for saving every child from any sort of violence is a must. This paper proposes a modified deep learning-based violence detection framework that will be able to detect and alert child exploitation in real-time without any privacy breach. The proposed framework is designed to work indoor, so primarily it can be installed in homes and educational institutions. The mechanism of the system is as such firstly, the surveillance video streams will be optimized using a modified convolutional neural network (CNN). Secondly, a sequence of frames will be passed through CNN for feature extraction and transferred to the long short-term memory (LSTM), which will act as a classifier. A softmax layer also has been introduced for the probabilistic distribution. Finally, the age and activities of a specific person will be detected. If there is any violent activity, an alert will be sent to the guardian through the system. We intend to ensure our proposed framework will be implied for automatic violence detection in a quick and safe approach.
儿童暴力是我们社会普遍存在的最令人发指的罪行之一。对儿童的任何形式的虐待或暴力都很重要,不容忽视。它对孩子的心理健康影响如此之深,以至于影响到他以后的生活。因此,必须采取适当措施,使每个儿童免受任何形式的暴力侵害。本文提出了一种改进的基于深度学习的暴力检测框架,该框架将能够在不侵犯任何隐私的情况下实时检测和警告儿童剥削。拟议的框架设计用于室内工作,因此主要可以安装在家庭和教育机构中。该系统的工作原理是:首先利用改进的卷积神经网络(CNN)对监控视频流进行优化。其次,将一组帧序列通过CNN进行特征提取,并转移到长短期记忆(LSTM)中,LSTM将作为分类器。对于概率分布,还引入了softmax层。最后,一个特定的人的年龄和活动将被检测。如果有任何暴力活动,警报将通过系统发送给监护人。我们打算确保我们提出的框架将以一种快速和安全的方式用于自动暴力检测。

Climate change is a global problem that is gradually beginning to show its relevance for Latin-American context. For this reason, this research has proposed the design of two 3D video games oriented towards recycling. It is worth mentioning that these are the first 2 games made in Ecuador by a university institution that aims to raise awareness of sustainable development among its student population. Under this line, the article seeks to present the technical considerations considered to promote the transversal knowledge and ecological awareness.
气候变化是一个全球性问题,它正逐渐开始显示出与拉丁美洲环境的相关性。因此,本研究提出了两个面向回收的3D视频游戏的设计。值得一提的是,这两款游戏是由大学机构在厄瓜多尔制作的,旨在提高学生对可持续发展的认识。在这条线下,本文试图提出促进横向知识和生态意识的技术考虑。

Our research team is conducting a scoping literature review of scholarly and popular publications that address the role of ethics and ethical thinking in relation to engineering education curriculum, professional engineering practices more broadly, and their integration in the tech sector at large. This paper reports on the preliminary results of that review, which so far covers current approaches (i.e. from the last ten years) to cultivating and scaling these principles in academia and industry, and also examines local initiatives that implement some of these ideas in the classroom. We (a) identify recent knowledge and gaps on effective approaches to embedding ethics in engineering curriculum, including pedagogies that mobilize novel collaborative instruments and technologies for engaging the public; and (b) describe current academic approaches to centering ethics and ethical thinking as core elements of training and professional practice at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada). In keeping with the 2021 ISTAS “Public Interest Technology” theme, the paper emphasizes efforts underway to train professional and aspiring engineers in North America with the integrated critical thinking skills they need to ethically assess the social and cultural impacts of the technologies they design, develop, and deploy.
我们的研究团队正在对学术和流行出版物进行范围文献综述,这些出版物涉及伦理和伦理思维在工程教育课程、更广泛的专业工程实践以及它们在整个技术领域的整合方面的作用。本文报告了该审查的初步结果,该审查迄今为止涵盖了在学术界和工业界培养和扩展这些原则的当前方法(即从过去十年开始),并检查了在课堂上实施这些想法的地方倡议。我们(a)确定在工程课程中嵌入伦理学的有效方法方面的最新知识和差距,包括动员新颖的协作工具和技术以吸引公众的教学法;(b)描述目前滑铁卢大学(加拿大安大略省)将伦理和伦理思维作为培训和专业实践核心要素的学术方法。为了与2021年ISTAS的“公共利益技术”主题保持一致,该文件强调了正在努力培养北美专业和有抱负的工程师,他们需要具备综合批判性思维技能,以道德地评估他们设计,开发和部署的技术的社会和文化影响。

Health Information Seeking Behaviour, Risk Communication, and Mobility During COVID-19 COVID-19期间健康信息寻求行为、风险沟通与流动性
Pub Date : 2020-11-12 DOI: 10.1109/ISTAS50296.2020.9462203
J. Schoenherr, R. Thomson
The existence of physical and financial barriers in the provision of healthcare leads to an increasing recognition that alternative sources of information are being used to supplement or replace the advice of healthcare professionals. Internet search engines are a common means to obtain health information. However, information, misinformation, and disinformation are all available concurrently, leaving health information seekers to distinguish these categories of information. Following a review of theories directly and indirectly related to health information-seeking behaviour (HISB), we examine how public announcements made by credible sources (e.g., health professionals and politicians) in varying geographic regions (globally, nationally (Canada), and regionally (New York State) influenced both HISB (represented by Google Searches) and whether this influences human behaviour (represented by Google Mobility Data). Across these analyses, we demonstrate that there are strong correlations between information search behaviour and mobility around the time of public health announcements suggesting that, directly or indirectly, health communication was associated with changes in individual behaviour.
由于在提供保健方面存在物质和财政障碍,人们越来越认识到,人们正在利用其他信息来源来补充或取代保健专业人员的建议。互联网搜索引擎是获取健康信息的常用手段。然而,信息、错误信息和虚假信息都是同时存在的,这使得卫生信息寻求者必须区分这些信息类别。在回顾了与健康信息寻求行为(HISB)直接和间接相关的理论之后,我们研究了不同地理区域(全球、全国(加拿大)和区域(纽约州)的可靠来源(例如卫生专业人员和政治家)发布的公告如何影响HISB(以谷歌搜索为代表)以及这是否影响人类行为(以谷歌移动数据为代表)。通过这些分析,我们证明了信息搜索行为与公共卫生公告期间的流动性之间存在很强的相关性,这表明,健康沟通直接或间接地与个人行为的变化有关。

Internet search engines are a common means to obtain health information. However, information, misinformation, and disinformation are all available concurrently, leaving health information seekers to distinguish these categories of information. Following a review of theories directly and indirectly related to health information-seeking behaviour (HISB), we examine how public announcements made by credible sources (e.g., health professionals and politicians) in varying geographic regions (globally, nationally (Canada), and regionally (New York State) influenced both HISB (represented by Google Searches) and whether this influences human behaviour (represented by Google Mobility Data). Across these analyses, we demonstrate that there are strong correlations between information search behaviour and mobility around the time of public health announcements suggesting that, directly or indirectly, health communication was associated with changes in individual behaviour.","PeriodicalId":196560,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"470 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130321818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
