SABIO Project Plan

Step 0

Practical Work a.k.a. Programming

  • process the meta-data network, automate common patterns
  • gather characterstics of the dataset -> will point towards types of methods, might reveal problems that need to be be addressed
  • do some basic experiments such as term tracking, dependency parsing, etc -> will restrict and/or guide the choice of algorithms
    • automate term tracking -> probably useful in any case
    • gather tasks from basic experiments in suite of tools (& set up properly)
  • pre-process the linguistic data, the objects' descriptions, including vectorisation and (basic) feature extraction

Theoretical Work a.k.a. Conceptual Analysis and Formalisation

  • map experts' perspectives on social bias (domain experts are philosophers, social scientists, activists, really anyone but me):

    • get a workable definition which can be translated into linguistic/statistical properties
    • define boundaries of bias in opposition to other concepts
  • manifesto: carefully explicate our own goals and requirements to (1) be judged against and (2) make process transparent and reproducible

  • review previous work:

    • already identified domains, problems and formalisations
    • inspiration from methods already in use
    • off-the-shelf algorithms and libraries
    • limitations
  • formalise the world of biases (types, aspects, levels) to be detected in the first iteration

=> goal for February: be ready to implement a battery of detection algorithms for experimentation and feedback from the stakeholders
