Abstract:
With the ability to process larger and more complex datasets than ever before,
there are increasing concerns about ethical issues in big data.
We will discuss issues like privacy, algorithmic fairness, and societal consequences.
The second part of the talk will be about web scraping. Web scraping methods allow us to extract data from the web. Functions and examples of web scraping using R will be presented.
