Calling Bullshit 5.2: Garbage In, Garbage Out

You don’t need need a PhD in statistics or machine learning to call BS on big data. Just by focusing on the input data and the results is many times more than enough for solid refutation.
April 26, 2017
Course: INFO 198 / BIOL 106B. University of Washington
Instructors: Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin West
Synopsis: Our world is saturated with bullshit. Learn to detect and defuse it.
The course will be offered as a 1-credit seminar this spring through the Information School at the University of Washington. We aim to expand it to a 3 or 4 credit course for 2017-2018. For those who cannot attend in person, we aim to videotape the lectures this spring and make video clips freely available on the web.
