Specific focuses range from 1) the privacy and transparency issue, 2) the fairness between those who own the data and those who do not, 3) the discrimination caused by big data analysis, 4) model generalization capability, i.e. How can we trust the outcome of our mining results? How can we trust the model used, e.g. deep learning, etc.? Speakers and panelists include Dino Pedreschi (University of Pisa, Italy), Katharina Morik (TU Dortmund, Germany), Hesuan-Tien Lin (National Taiwan University and Appier, Taiwan), Ying Li (DataSpark Pte. Ltd., Singapore). Invited Industrial Talks: Financial sponsors and selected speakers from industries will give their visions on data science and data analytics.
