Dr. Toon Calders (University of Antwerp) presents Machine Learning: Bias In, Bias Out. Artificial intelligence is more and more responsible for decisions that have a huge impact on our lives. But predictions made using data mining and algorithms can affect population subgroups differently. Academic researchers and journalists have shown that decisions taken by predictive algorithms sometimes lead to biased outcomes, reproducing inequalities already present in society. Is it possible to make a fairness-aware data mining process? Are algorithms biased because people are too? Or is it how machine learning works at the most fundamental level?

Artists’ perspectives as persons with disabilities inform a vision of the world which can be unique - personally, visually, politically. The exhibition series, Through a Glass Lightly induces the Window Box Gallery to act as a looking glass site that reflects back to the viewer changing images of the world - the seasons and times of day/night play over the window surface altering the images within. This exhibit invites others to see not only slightly askew but anew! To see our "acts" as creative offerings.
