In our paper on racial bias in police use of force, we derived bounds on best/worst case levels of bias given assumptions/data. Months of tedious algebra. Our new algo finds same result in 10secs. Dean Knox Guilherme Jardim Duarte @conjugateprior @nsfinkelstein arxiv.org/abs/2109.13471

Presenting "autobounds" at #ACIC2022 UC Berkeley CDSS. INPUT: your causal question, assumptions & data (however incomplete or mismeasured). OUTPUT: tightest possible bounds on the quantity of interest... automatically! Tomorrow 5/24 at 9:15am, room 2.

We're hiring! Looking for an early career data scientist/engineer to work with Hamsa Bastani @MarimanRachel & me on high-impact social data analytics (e.g. policing, human trafficking, media polarization, supply chain ethics).

Join me and three more The Wharton School professors Dec. 14 at the next #BeyondBusiness, on how analytics can drive social good: whr.tn/3GXbi4a Their research uses data to address: ▪️Human trafficking – Hamsa Bastani ▪️Policing reform – Dean Knox ▪️Media bias – Duncan Watts

Our second Beyond Business series with Erika H. James is in 2 weeks! Hear from esteemed The Wharton School faculty Hamsa Bastani, Dean Knox, and Duncan Watts about how analytics, AI, and machine learning can drive social good. Register here: linkedin.com/video/event/ur…

How can a team of academics make an impact on the DOJ or a police department? Dean Knox explains how building relationships with public organizations allows researchers to analyze data and make recommendations, such as to how DOJ investigates police departments.

Submit your work to the Workshop on AI & Analytics for Social Good (due 3/15), to be held @ UMD on 5/5! Learn about privacy, policing, & hiring bias from experts alessandro acquisti , Rachel Cummings , Nick Freeman, Dean Knox , & Danielle Li! rhsmith.umd.edu/departments/de…

CANDOR corpus is now available! It took years of hard work, but we hope it will be useful for researchers from many fields interested in conversation and social interaction. Dataset available for download (link in manuscript). Please share it widely. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are excited to announce a pre-APSA short course called “Introduction to Causal Graphs (Directed Acyclic Graphs, DAGs)” on Wednesday, August 30 from 9:00am-5:00pm.More information available here connect.apsanet.org/apsa2023/pre-c…>.

One of the best things I did at the last APSA was attending the DAG pre-conference workshop. It was so useful that I thought the lectures could've been recorded and shared, just like AEA does. Huge thanks to Dean Knox, Carlos Cinelli, Cyrus Samii, Adam Glyn, and Guilherme Jardim Duarte!

What role can data analytics play in social justice? Prof. Dean Knox and team's research that proved key in the ACLU of Kansas winning a recent unconstitutional policing court case leads this month's edition of our Insights newsletter. #TheWhartonWay whr.tn/3tg8F8O

The ACLU of Kansas credits data analysis led by Profs. Dean Knox (Wharton) and Jonathan Mummolo (Princeton University) with helping win its court case against the Kansas Highway Patrol over unconstitutional treatment of out-of-state drivers. @WhartonAnlytcs explains: whr.tn/3Zyi2gl

We're hiring! If you have project-management skills and are interested in social impact and computational social science, I'd love to chat. Joint position working with Hamsa Bastani and me. Reach out to either of us or apply directly at wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recruiti…

Forecasts of US presidential elections are everywhere, and they’re discussed obsessively by journalists and the public. But are they any good? Dean Knox, Sean Westwood, and I show we’re decades, centuries, or (sometimes) millenia away from evidence that they are any better
