Statistics, data science and jazz...

Though many jazz musicians have had extensive formal training in classical music - pianist Andre Previn being one notable example - some have been almost entirely self-taught - guitarist Wes Montgomery being one notable example.

Montgomery developed his own very unusual way of picking. If you're curious about what I mean, there are many videos on YouTube him performing.

He came from a musical family and he definitely had a talent for music. But the way he taught himself to play also had an influence on what he played, much of which was highly original, and his influence on jazz (and rock) continues to this day. He is generally regarded as one of the best guitarists ever.

What does this have to do with statistics and data science? Stats plays a vital role in data science, yet many data scientists are essentially self-taught or have learned from others who were largely self-taught.

I am not the only statistician concerned about misunderstandings and misuse of statistics in data science - Randy Bartlett, for one, has warned of a coming deluge of statistical malpractice. Some would argue that the deluge has arrived.

On the other hand, one wonders if data science will produce an equivalent of Wes Montgomery.

In a paper published recently, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have proposed a method for learning a face from audio recordings of that person speaking.

In their architecture, researchers utilize facial recognition pre-trained models as well as a face decoder model which takes as an input a latent vector and outputs an image with a reconstruction.

Bagdasaryan and Shmatikov find that training using private SGD increases error disparities between over and under-represented groups. They blame gradient clipping, which has a larger effect on data points less like the average. An interesting fairness/privacy tradeoff.
