Pacific Northwest National Laboratory: Want Better AI? Get Input From a Real (Human) Expert

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory: Want Better AI? Get Input From a Real (Human) Expert. “Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have put forth a new way to evaluate an AI system’s recommendations. They bring human experts into the loop to view how the ML performed on a set of data. The expert learns which types of data the machine-learning system typically classifies correctly, and which data types lead to confusion and system errors. Armed with this knowledge, the experts then offer their own confidence score on future system recommendations.”

MIT News: Empowering social media users to assess content helps fight misinformation

MIT News: Empowering social media users to assess content helps fight misinformation. “Using their findings, the researchers developed a prototype platform that enables users to assess the accuracy of content, indicate which users they trust to assess accuracy, and filter posts that appear in their feed based on those assessments. Through a field study, they found that users were able to effectively assess misinforming posts without receiving any prior training. Moreover, users valued the ability to assess posts and view assessments in a structured way.”
