SUMMARY:Data and Algorithmic Bias in the Web - Amphi Jade (Barrault)
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAbstract:\nThe Web is the largest public big data
 repository that humankind hascreated. In this overwhelming data ocean\, we
 need to be aware of thequality and\, in particular\, of the biases that
 exist in this data. Inthe Web\, biases also come from redundancy and spam\,
 as well as fromalgorithms that we design to improve the user experience.
 This problemis further exacerbated by biases that are added by these
 algorithms\,specially in the context of search and recommendation systems.
 Theyinclude selection and presentation bias in many forms\, interaction
 bias\,social bias\, etc. We give several examples and their relation to
 sparsityand privacy\, stressing the importance of the user context to avoid
 thesebiases.\n\n\nBiography:\nRicardo Baeza-Yates areas of expertise are
 web search and data mining\,information retrieval\, data science and
 algorithms. He is CTO of NTENT\, a semantic search technology company.
 Before he was VP of Research at Yahoo Labs\, based in Barcelona\, Spain\,
 and later in Sunnyvale\, California\, from January 2006 to February 2016.
 He also is part time Professor at DTIC of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra\, in
 Barcelona\, Spain\, as well as at DCC of Universidad de Chile in Santiago.
 Until 2004 he was Professor and founding director of the Center for Web
 Research at the later place. He obtained a Ph.D. in CS from the University
 of Waterloo\, Canada\, in 1989. He is co-author of the best-seller Modern
 Information Retrieval textbook published by Addison-Wesley in 2011 (2nd
 ed)\, that won the ASIST 2012 Book of the Year award. From 2002 to 2004 he
 was elected to the board of governors of the IEEE Computer Society and in
 2012 he was elected for the ACM Council. Since 2010 is a founding member of
