Big Data, Big Design

Description

Big Data, Big Design provides designers with the tools they need to harness the potential of machine learning and put it to use for good through thoughtful, human-centered, intentional design.

Enter the world of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through a design lens in this thoughtful handbook of practical skills, technical knowledge, interviews, essays, and theory, written specifically for designers. Gain an understanding of the design opportunities and design biases that arise when using predictive algorithms. Learn how to place design principles and cultural context at the heart of AI and ML through real-life case studies and examples. This portable, accessible guide will give beginners and more advanced AI and ML users the confidence to make reasoned, thoughtful decisions when implementing ML design solutions.

"Armstrong poses critical design questions, providing a pathway to the rapidly transforming terrain….As a collaborative effort between designers, researchers, and data scientists, this volume will be particularly appealing to those interested in the many interdisciplinary and international interactions between scholars and business professionals."
