In a Nutshell

• In this 90 minutes workshop, we will explore bias in word embeddings - a widespread building block of many machine learning models that work with human languages.
• Word embeddings have an easy-to-explain representation that allows an intuitive understanding of this building block and its potential biases.
• Through the exploration, we will raise practical, methodological and philosophical questions about the ethics of AI.
• The workshop is designed to be adaptive to a diverse audience: from without any background in machine learning or programming to data science practitioners - no technical background is required!
• The workshop is hands-on and interactive, and will use the same tools that data scientists are using.
