The project explored a classic predictive policing algorithm to investigate conduits of bias. Whilst many studies on real data have shown that predictive policing algorithms can create biased feedback loops, few studies have systematically explored whether this is the result of legacy data, or the algorithmic model itself. To advance the empirical literature, this project designed a framework for testing predictive models for biases. With the framework, the project created and tested: (1) a computational model that replicates the published version of a predictive policing algorithm, and (2) statistically representative, biased and unbiased synthetic crime datasets, which were used to run large-scale tests of the computational model. The study found evidence of self-reinforcing properties

Topology and neural networks generalisations

Neural networks are at the centre of many remarkable applications of AI. These powerful classification tools are great when they work well, but have demonstrated weaknesses where they fail at surprisingly easy tasks. This talk will summarise the results of our pilot project devoted to the study of the geometry of the decision boundaries of neural networks as a predictor for their performance.

Anonymisation and Provenance: Expression Data Environments With PROV

The Anonymisation Decision-Making Framework (ADF) is a comprehensive practice designed for assessing and controlling the risks of sharing and disseminating data. This project examines how to use provenance to support anonymization decision-making. To enable this, we analyze the mapping of concepts between ADF and prov. We have operationalized provenance into the framework, and analyse the suitability via real use cases. We have created prototype tool support from simulators to reasoners.

Background
In 2018 over 300 Turing Fellows were appointed at the Institute following an open call. Some of these received additional funding to deliver research projects that have had substantial impact in the areas of data science and artificial intelligence. The Institute and its university partners are delighted to host the events which will showcase the breadth of research and demonstrate the impact of these research projects. Events will be added to the website over the coming weeks, visit regularly for more information.

Details of all university partner presentations and how to register can be found here<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fpresenting-turing-fellow-research-projects&data=04%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7C66efff0b8e5b46833b7808d99d50aebf%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637713792124460748%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=S5f0xzXvR2MpR1g2b3gpaIKftCx491WBLdrnhq5e0ps%3D&reserved=0> - we look forward to seeing you there.

Please feel free to disseminate more widely.

Best wishes
