Abstract:
There is no doubt about the usefulness of machine learning in
today’s data environment. Machine learning algorithms are used across many
domains and across a variety of problems. These algorithms are seen in
e-commerce such as Amazon’s recommendations , financing through loan
applications, image processing, autonomous vehicles, and speech recognition
among many others. Acknowledging the market penetration of machine learning
and its relevance to many big data related challenges, it is important to
address the effect of bias in machine learning.
