Hello,

I'm an academic at the University of Cambridge's Computer Lab. I'm currently doing some research on how people who work with algorithmic systems keep records about them.

If you're a professional working with algorithmic systems, and happen to have a spare ~20 minutes, would you mind answering some questions? The link to the questionnaire is here: https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3n6RuowNogZKG34

Thanks very much!

What is an algorithmic system? What system has no algorithm?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I totally get your point. I'm using the term in the sort of academic/policy way, but you're not the first person to make this point. We're interested in data-driven systems, which might be ML, it might be algorithmic trading, or it might be some other kind of data-driven system where decisions/predictions/actions are taken. Hope that helps!
