      ML systems are biased when data is biased. This face upsampling system makes everyone look white because the network was pretrained on FlickFaceHQ, which mainly contains white people pics. Train the *exact* same system on a dataset from Senegal, and everyone will look African.https://twitter.com/bradpwyble/status/1274380641644294150 …

      Train it on the *WHOLE* American population with: 1) an L2 loss (average error), and almost everyone will look white. 2) an L1 loss (median error), and more people might look black. stop pretending that bias does not also come from algorithmic choices.https://twitter.com/L_badikho/status/1204052676620816389 …

      Replying to @ylecun @Aaroth @profelisacelis
      ex: optimising the mean or the median on a population yields radically different outcomes. sociologists knew that for ages. a choice that looks as innocent as L1(median) or L2(mean) loss can be very political/biased. @profelisacelis, @timnitGebru & @AnimaAnandkumar have a point

      The most efficient way to do it though is to equalize the frequencies of categories of samples during training. This forces the network to pay attention to all the relevant features for all the sample categories.

      (And training with L1 instead of L2 will not even begin to solve the problem).

          Thank you. Question on extremes: doesn’t this imply if I have only one Inuit woman in my dataset, I can’t exactly equalize. Further thought: aren’t humans continuous? 1/2

          To do this properly; wouldn’t we need to sequence everyone’s DNA? Plot by maternal and paternal DNA markers?
