* Q1. Algorithms
** Most prominent advantages of automated algorithms making decision, and why?
** Most prominent disadvantages of automated algorithms making decision, and why?
** What are challenges in making decisions of algorithms transparent?
** What are disadvantages of making algorithms decisions transparent?
* Q2. Data Citation
** What are the two challenges with data citation and list the (unsuccessful) approaches to overcome them.
** Describe the approach of the RDA Data Citation WG to resolve this issue.
* Q3. Statistical testing
** Given an experimental setup with 10.000 instances, 20-fold cross validation (k-fold with k=20) and accuracy as performance measurement.
*** List two approaches for statistical significance testing
*** What's the sample size, e.g. what's N in this case.
** What errors can be made in statistical hypothesis testing? Explain them briefly. And how to reduce the possibility to make them?
* Q4. Experimental Setup
** Given a social media classification system, 1 mio posts which include an unique id, some text and a timestamp. You have two experimental setups, once with time-based split and one with cross-validation split.
*** Describe both, e.g. with a sketch.
*** Which approach would you suggest? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?
