HV Jagadish, a core MIDAS faculty member and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, contributed as a co-author on an article on diversity in big data that appears in to a special edition of Big Data magazine. Big Data is published by phys.org.
Jagadish co-authored the piece, titled “Diversity in Big Data, a Review,” with researchers from the University of Ioannia in Greece, and Drexel University. The article emphasizes the risks big data may pose to society and individuals if it fails to account for diversity and potential discrimination, and discusses connections between diversity and fairness in big data systems research.
