Dear all,

thank you for joining the teaching session today. I hope you enjoyed it.
The video recordings of the live session can be found here.
The material can be found in the Modules section on Canvas. There you will also find the notebooks we used, and some practice notebooks with a few exercises. I encourage you to revise the first 4 lectures and use the practice notebooks to get ready for the next one, that will be on the numerical library numpy.

If you do have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact us by sending us an email to bristoldst@gmail.com, or starting a new discussion on Canvas.

========================================================

The next session will be on Tuesday June 11th at 8:30 p.m. EAT, and it will be an Applications talk. Please use this link to connect.

The next Teaching session will be on Wednesday June 12th at 8:30 p.m. EAT (use this link to connect): pre-recorded lecture and material have been uploaded on Canvas. Please download all the files on your computer, and use the material while watching the video before next Wednesday.

We will be happy to help you with any questions or problems during our live QA session.

Hi,

I hope you are enjoying the course so far. On Tuesday at 20:30 your time, we have the next applications talk.
Neil Headings is talking about building confidence in the outcome of modelling. This is a very interesting and important topic when you do big data and machine learning. With any algorithm, the computer does what you tell it to do and you get results based on what you put it. There are many famous example of people getting it horribly wrong. This is a big thing; especially since many people think that the computer is so smart that it must be right. For example, you might have heard about AI tools used to recognise shoplifters automatically when they enter the shop. In a famous example of getting it wrong, the network was trained on only men of a light skin colour and called everyone else a potential thief. There are many more of those. Think about prescriptions for mediation; if you test a new medicine on people that all weigh well over 120kg and are all 2m tall and above, you reach a conclusion on the amount of medication you need to give a patient. However, you will probably horribly overdose the 60kg woman who is only 1.50m tall. Or think of people being excluded from insurance because their risk profile looks too dangerous, but actually they are low risk. The examples are countless. Thinking about these things in advance is vital.

I hope you will join this talk. What you will learn is really key to be successful when applying data science in real life.
