Bias

…where he measured sensitivity and bias in the perception of the timing of stimuli. He will present how improved detection with longer sequences and biases in reporting isochrony can be accounted for by optimal statistical predictions. Among his findings was also that the timing of stimuli that occasionally deviate from a regularly paced sequence is perceptually distorted to appear more regular. Such change depends on whether the context these sequences are presented is also regul

…but also equitability or without “bias”. Despite rising public, media, and scientific attention to this issue, the sources of bias in AFR are not fully understood. This talk will explore how human cognitive biases may impact our assessments of performance differentials in AFR systems and our subsequent use of those systems to make decisions. We’ll also show how, if we adjust our definition of what a “biased” AFR algorithm looks like, we may
