Around the web:

  • How to make money out of Data Scraping
    “People out there are looking for jobs in the Data Science field but do we really need jobs if we have the right skill set?” A brief introduction to the open-source framework ‘Scrapy’ and its various applications. Who needs this web scraping service? Who are the pro players in the market in this arena?
  • Amazon: Decoding the Social Effects of Media using ML
    “The media systems that we have now, for better or worse, have become outrage machines and sorting machines that put people into groups of like minds. The business incentive structures of these systems are such that the more outrage there is, the more profit there is. So, the first question that we’re asking is, What’s the scope of this problem?

  • Explainability Is in the Mind of the Beholder
    Explainable artificial intelligence and interpretable machine learning are research fields that are growing in importance. "We take steps towards addressing this challenge by reviewing the philosophical and social foundations of human explainability, which we then translate into the technological realm. In particular, we scrutinize the notion of algorithmic black boxes and the spectrum of understanding determined by explanatory processes and explainees' background knowledge."
