#Zoomposium with Dr. Dr. #Walter #von #Lucadou: “On the #borders between #physics and #psychology - #hauntings, #ghosts and other #physical #phenomena

It turned out that von Lucadou is anything but a #spiritual #ghosthunter, but on the contrary is rather located in #science and #rationally tries to fathom the #physical-explainable phenomena with #empirical ##methodology.

“Free Willy - Call of freedom for the #free #will

In this essay, I deal firstly with “the #philosophical #problem of #freedom of will”, then with the #empirical attacks on freedom of will” and finally with the ‘latest #results of #cognitive #neuroscience’ of #self-control. The whole thing is then rounded off with “proposals for overcoming the #determinism-freedom-of-will #dualism.

(now online) Training #ML on fair data is key to ensure the resulting ML models will be from #biases and other #ethical concerns. ⚖️⚖️⚖️

But is scientific data annotated with enough metadata to evaluate potential #biases in the data (and its gathering process)? (TL;DR it's a disaster 😭😭)

Are at least improving on this? What can we do to fix this situation? ⬇️⬇️

NatureOn the Readiness of Scientific Data Papers for a Fair and Transparent Use in Machine Learning - Scientific DataTo ensure the fairness and trustworthiness of machine learning (ML) systems, recent legislative initiatives and relevant research in the ML community have pointed out the need to document the data used to train ML models. Besides, data-sharing practices in many scientific domains have evolved in recent years for reproducibility purposes. In this sense, academic institutions’ adoption of these practices has encouraged researchers to publish their data and technical documentation in peer-reviewed publications such as data papers. In this study, we analyze how this broader scientific data documentation meets the needs of the ML community and regulatory bodies for its use in ML technologies. We examine a sample of 4041 data papers of different domains, assessing their coverage and trends in the requested dimensions and comparing them to those from an ML-focused venue (NeurIPS D&B), which publishes papers describing datasets. As a result, we propose a set of recommendation guidelines for data creators and scientific data publishers to increase their data’s preparedness for its transparent and fairer use in ML technologies.

#Hypnosis - as an example of a practical application of the paradigm of "#embodiment" and "#embededdness"

Abstract

The following essay will examine hypnosis as an example of a #practical #application of the #paradigm of "embodiment" and "embededdness" in more detail. In this context, an attempt will be made to prove the #effectiveness of the #hypnosis procedure with the help of #empirical #findings from #cognitive #neuroscience.
