Description

Data Science in Context: Foundations, Challenges, Opportunities explores the power and potential pitfalls of data science. Four leading experts examine the major challenges in gaining its benefits and mitigating its harms, offering frameworks for critically evaluating the ingredients and ethical considerations needed to apply data science productively. The authors' far-reaching exploration of complex issues such as data quality, fairness, privacy, and causation will stimulate practitioners and students, as well as humanists, social scientists, scientists, and policy makers, to study and debate how data science can be used more effectively and more ethically. Extensive application examples illustrate the practical applications of these concepts. By understanding the foundations, challenges, and opportunities of data science, readers can gain a deeper insight into its role in shaping our world and inform their own work in this field.
