FAI: Advancing Deep Learning Towards Spatial Fairness
Principal Investigator(s): Sergii Skakun
Funder: National Science Foundation
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
The project aims to address spatial biases in AI, ensuring spatial fairness in real-world applications like agriculture and disaster management. Traditional machine learning struggles with spatial fairness due to data variations. The project proposes new statistical formulations, network architectures, fairness-driven adversarial learning, and a knowledge-enhanced approach for improved spatial dataset analysis. The results will integrate into geospatial software.fference between habits and behaviors ef

III: Small: Bringing Transparency and Interpretability to Bias Mitigation Approaches in Place-based Mobility-centric Prediction Models for Decision
Principal Investigator(s): Vanessa Frias-Martinez
Funder: National Science Foundation
Research Areas: Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Health Informatics > Information Justice, Human Rights, and Technology Ethics > Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
The project focuses on improving the fairness of place-based mobility-centric (PBMC) prediction models, particularly in high-stakes scenarios like public health and safety. By addressing biases in COVID-19 mobility and case data, it aims to make predictions more accurate and equitable. The research introduces novel bias-mitigation and interpretability methods across three technical thrusts, promoting transparency in PBMC models.
