Uncertainty Quantification of Multimodal Models
Full text linkMultimodal classification models, particularly those designed for fine-grained tasks, offer significant potential for various applications. However, their inability to effectively manage uncertainty often hinders their effectiveness. This limitation can lead to unreliable pre-dictions and suboptimal decision-making in real-world scenarios. We propose integrating conformal prediction into multimodal classification models to address this challenge. Conformal prediction is a robust technique for quantifying uncertainty by generating sets of plausible classifications for unseen data. These sets are accompanied by guaranteed confidence levels, providing a transparent assessment of the model’s pre-diction reliability. By integrating conformal prediction, our objective is to increase the reliability and trustworthiness of multimodal classification models, thereby enabling more informed decision-making in contexts where uncertainty is a significant factor
Leadership Lessons From the Swat Pathans:Anthropology and Global Leadership
Full text linkAlthough there are relatively few works on global leadership in social and cultural anthropology, nonetheless, scholars of global leadership can learn a lot from key works in the discipline. In this chapter, I consider the ways in which anthropologists in the 1950s and 1960s explored the dynamics between leaders and followers and the influence of culture on preferred types of leadership, and how more recent anthropologists have been applying critical and postcolonial approaches to globalizing cultures and movements. Although anthropologists take a global focus, including in business, they do not often consider leadership as an exclusive phenomenon, but only in a holistic perspective. On the other hand, global leadership studies tend to take larger scale and theory-focused approaches, which tend not to produce the sort of insights that a longitudinal qualitative study can develop. I consider ways in which ethnographic methodologies and critical approaches to leadership can add to our understanding of global leadership and, conversely, ways in which a focus on global leadership can add to anthropologists' understanding of contemporary social and political movements. I conclude by considering how the two disciplines might engage in fruitful collaboration
Responsible Digital:Co-Creating Safe, Wise and Secure Digital Interventions with Vulnerable Groups
Full text linkThe notion of “Responsible Digital” emphasises the ethical and responsible design and use of digital technologies. Having the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely, wisely and securely becomes critical when digital literacy and access to technologies are limited and livelihood possibilities are precarious such as in the context of vulnerable migrants. We use the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework in its operationalised version called AREA Plus as a lens to reflect on our research-practice in relation to two projects in sensitive contexts that were designed with vulnerable groups to co-create digital interventions aimed at improving their lives. In so doing, we introduce a new ‘sustainability’ dimension to AREA Plus to develop what we term the AREAS framework. We contribute to knowledge by using the AREA Plus framework in the context of Africa, South East Asia and South America migration and by further enhancing it; to methodology by highlighting the procedures followed when working with vulnerable groups; and to practice through the promotion of responsible digital practices
