Introduction aux données écologiques et environnementales en ligne
(En anglais - titre original : Introduction to Online Ecological and Environmental Data) L'avènement de l'Internet et la prolifération des documents qu'il contient ont entraîné des changements importants et rapides dans la communication savante. L'affichage des données de recherche en vue de leur partage avec d'autres chercheurs dans le domaine a peut-être été plus progressif. Ce volume décrit plusieurs projets qui ont rendu les données des chercheurs en environnement et en écologie librement accessibles en ligne. Des bibliothécaires de la National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), du United States Geological Survey (USGS), d'une agence régionale basée en Oregon, d'une université et d'une société de recherche décrivent les aspects des projets de données en ligne développés par leurs institutions respectives. Un sixième article, rédigé par un bibliothécaire de l'université de l'État de New York à Buffalo, suit le développement de données de recherche en ligne dans un domaine spécifique, la recherche sur les pluies acides, à partir de divers types de programmes de recherche. Un thème commun à ces articles est l'implication interdisciplinaire des chercheurs qui produisent et utilisent des données dans les domaines des études environnementales et écologiques.

La science des données fédérales : transformer le gouvernement et la politique agricole grâce à l'intelligence artificielle
(En anglais - titre original : Federal data science: Transforming government and agricultural policy using artificial intelligence) La science des données fédérales sert de guide aux ingénieurs logiciels fédéraux, aux analystes gouvernementaux, aux économistes, aux chercheurs, aux scientifiques des données et aux responsables de l'ingénierie pour déployer des méthodes d'analyse des données dans les processus gouvernementaux. Poussées par les initiatives de gouvernement ouvert (2009) et de big data (2012), les agences fédérales ont un sérieux besoin de mettre en œuvre des méthodes de gestion intelligente des données, de partager leurs données et de déployer des analyses avancées dans leurs processus. L'utilisation des données fédérales pour une prise de décision réactive n'est plus suffisante, les systèmes de données intelligents permettent des activités proactives qui conduisent à des avantages tels que : l'amélioration des services aux citoyens, une plus grande responsabilité, la réduction des inefficacités de livraison, la réduction des coûts, l'amélioration des connaissances nationales et une meilleure prise de décision. Aucun autre ouvrage consacré au gouvernement n'a été trouvé dans la littérature qui traite de ce vaste sujet. Ce livre présente de nombreux cas d'utilisation, décrit les avantages de la science des données au niveau fédéral et comble les lacunes dans ce domaine critique et opportun.

L’intelligence artificielle et les mondes du travail: Perspectives sociojuridiques et enjeux éthiques
(En français) Le développement de l'économie numérique et de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) a modifié de façon importante les modes de production des produits et des services, à telle enseigne qu'il oblige les entreprises à revoir leurs pratiques de fonctionnement sur tous les plans. Qui plus est, l'accélération vers le numérique envahit peu à peu le quotidien de chacun et chacune qui voit se transformer parfois en profondeur son activité de travail jusqu'à entraîner une certaine forme de déqualification professionnelle, voire la perte de certains emplois et la création de certains autres, nécessitant un niveau de formation différent et plus élevé. Conçu selon une approche interdisciplinaire et grâce à la contribution d'autrices et d'auteurs québécois, français et belge, le présent ouvrage examine les principaux effets que provoquent ces transformations vers le numérique sur les mondes du travail ainsi que la place de plus en plus importante qu'y occupe l'intelligence artificielle (IA). Il propose un éclairage sur certains des enjeux que suscitent ces transformations tant sur le plan éthique que sur celui du dialogue social et de la gestion des ressources humaines ou encore sur le plan juridique. À ces enjeux s'ajoutent les défis que représentent la dilution de la frontière entre la vie de travail et la vie privée de même que la métamorphose du rapport entre l'entreprise et les personnes salariées qui découle du développement des plateformes numériques. L'ouvrage vise aussi à susciter la réflexion sur la nécessité de revoir les modes de régulation du travail pour lesquels il présente des avenues à explorer.

Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.
Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women, diving into women’s lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor’s office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Data Feminism: A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism.
Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics—one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought.
Data Feminism offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science. But Data Feminism is about much more than gender. It is about power, about who has it and who doesn't, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed.

Qu’est-ce que le text et data mining ?
(En français) Le data mining est un concept jeune qui apparaît en 1989 sous un premier nom de KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases, en français ECD pour Extraction de Connaissances à partir des Données). Le terme de « text and data mining » est apparu pour la première fois dans le domaine du marketing au début des années 1990. Ce concept, tel qu’appliqué aux services marketing, est étroitement lié au concept du « one-to-one relationship » (Michael Berry et Gordon Linoff, créateurs du data mining dans le m).

Computer age statistical inference: Algorithms, evidence, and data science
The twenty-first century has seen a breathtaking expansion of statistical methodology, both in scope and in influence. 'Big data', 'data science', and 'machine learning' have become familiar terms in the news, as statistical methods are brought to bear upon the enormous data sets of modern science and commerce. How did we get here? And where are we going? This book takes us on an exhilarating journey through the revolution in data analysis following the introduction of electronic computation in the 1950s. Beginning with classical inferential theories - Bayesian, frequentist, Fisherian - individual chapters take up a series of influential topics: survival analysis, logistic regression, empirical Bayes, the jackknife and bootstrap, random forests, neural networks, Markov chain Monte Carlo, inference after model selection, and dozens more. The distinctly modern approach integrates methodology and algorithms with statistical inference. The book ends with speculation on the future direction of statistics and data science.

Numbersense: How to Use Big Data to Your Advantage
We live in a world of Big Data--and it's getting bigger every day. Virtually every choice we make hinges on how someone generates data . . . and how someone else interprets it--whether we realize it or not. The problem is, the more data we have, the more difficult it is to interpret it. From world leaders to average citizens, everyone is prone to making critical decisions based on poor data interpretations.
Numbersense gives you the insight into how Big Data interpretation works--and how it too often doesn't work. You won't come away with the skills of a professional statistician, but you will have a keen understanding of the data traps even the best statisticians can fall into, and you'll trust the mental alarm that goes off in your head when something just doesn't seem to add up.

Big data et traçabilité numérique
(En français) Les traces numériques de l’activité des individus, des entreprises, des administrations, des réseaux sociaux sont devenues un gisement considérable. Comment ces données sont-elles prélevées, stockées, valorisées, et vendues ? Et que penser des algorithmes qui convertissent en outil de contrôle et de persuasion l’information sur les comportements, les actes de travail et les échanges ? Les big data sont-elles à notre service ou font-elles de nous les rouages consentants du capitalisme informationnel et relationnel ? Les sciences sociales enquêtent sur les enjeux sociaux, éthiques, politiques et économiques de ces transformations. Mais elles sont elles aussi de plus en plus consommatrices de données numériques de masse. Cet ouvrage collectif explore l’expansion de la traçabilité numérique dans ces deux dimensions, marchande et scientifique.

Big Data et société: Industrialisation des médiations symboliques
(En français) Le Big Data (ou mégadonnées) suscite des discours porteurs de visions économiques prometteuses : efficience du microciblage, meilleurs rendements par gestion prédictive, algorithmes et intelligence artificielle, villes intelligentes . bref, toute une économie des données qui trouverait son achèvement véritable dans une créativité enfin libérée de tout joug disciplinaire, idéologique et politique. L'éclatement des individualités émancipées sonde le social tel qu'il est porté par ces discours de promotion. En effet, force est de constater que le social est relativement absent, pour l'instant, des réflexions que l'on présente comme névralgiques pour un avenir meilleur. Ce phénomène soulève d'importantes et préoccupantes questions, que ce soit concernant l'intégrité de la vie privée face à la marchandisation des données personnelles, les dynamiques - économiquement productives - de la surveillance corporative, les rapports de pouvoir induits par les GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon et Microsoft), les pièges du temps réel ou encore la dynamique algorithmique et sa tendance à suppléer les lois (le politique) par les faits (le réel enfin rendu indéniable grâce aux données quantifiables). Ce premier ouvrage collectif du Groupe de recherche sur l'information et la surveillance au quotidien (GRISQ) envisage le Big Data comme producteur d'effets en même temps que produit de dynamiques sociales. Il intéressera les étudiants et les chercheurs du domaine de la communication qui s'interrogent sur le vaste univers des mégadonnées.

Open Government Data Report: Enhancing Policy Maturity for Sustainable Impact
This report provides an overview of the state of open data policies across OECD member and partner countries, based on data collected through the OECD Open Government Data survey (2013, 2014, 2016/17), country reviews and comparative analysis. The report analyses open data policies using an analytical framework that is in line with the OECD OUR data Index and the International Open Data Charter. It assesses governments’ efforts to enhance the availability, accessibility and re-use of open government data. It makes the case that beyond countries’ commitment to open up good quality government data, the creation of public value requires engaging user communities from the entire ecosystem, such as journalists, civil society organisations, entrepreneurs, major tech private companies and academia. The report also underlines how open data policies are elements of broader digital transformations, and how public sector data policies require interaction with other public sector agendas such as open government, innovation, employment, integrity, public budgeting, sustainable development, urban mobility and transport. It stresses the relevance of measuring open data impacts in order to support the business case for open government data.

Introduction to hierarchical Bayesian modeling for ecological data
Making statistical modeling and inference more accessible to ecologists and related scientists, Introduction to Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling for Ecological Datagives readers a flexible and effective framework to learn about complex ecological processes from various sources of data. It also helps readers get started on building their own statistical models. The text begins with simple models that progressively become more complex and realistic through explanatory covariates and intermediate hidden states variables. When fitting the models to data, the authors gradually present the concepts and techniques of the Bayesian paradigm from a practical point of view using real case studies. They emphasize how hierarchical Bayesian modeling supports multidimensional models involving complex interactions between parameters and latent variables. Data sets, exercises, and R and WinBUGS codes are available on the authors' website. This book shows how Bayesian statistical modeling provides an intuitive way to organize data, test ideas, investigate competing hypotheses, and assess degrees of confidence of predictions. It also illustrates how conditional reasoning can dismantle a complex reality into more understandable pieces. As conditional reasoning is intimately linked with Bayesian thinking, considering hierarchical models within the Bayesian setting offers a unified and coherent framework for modeling, estimation, and prediction.

The Social Dynamics of Open Data
The Social Dynamics of Open Data is a collection of peer reviewed papers presented at the 2nd Open Data Research Symposium (ODRS) held in Madrid, Spain, on 5 October 2016. Research is critical to developing a more rigorous and fine-combed analysis not only of why open data is valuable, but how it is valuable and under what specific conditions. The objective of the Open Data Research Symposium and the subsequent collection of chapters published here is to build such a stronger evidence base. This base is essential to understanding what open data's impacts have been to date, and how positive impacts can be enabled and amplified. Consequently, common to the majority of chapters in this collection is the attempt by the authors to draw on existing scientific theories, and to apply them to open data to better explain the socially embedded dynamics that account for open data's successes and failures in contributing to a more equitable and just society.

Building a framework to grow ecosystems… a rough rough draft
Any ecosystem starts with a base foundation. These are the rivers and streams, the mountains and earth, the sun, rain and general climate. It is from this base foundation that an ecosystem grows. This foundation needs to have some level of sustainability for life to take hold. Likewise a social ecosystem requires a base infrastructure that is stable and secure to develop on. This could be physical infrastructure like roads and buildings with electricity and hydro but since we live now in a digital age, this is increasingly digital infrastructure: things like broadband connection and the world wide web (and all the protocols that underpin it). It is important to understand what infrastructure is required for your ecosystem to thrive and make sure it is sustainably available.

Creating Compelling Data Visualizations
Data visualization is a key component in many data science projects. For some stakeholders, especially subject matter experts and executives who may not be technical experts, it is the primary avenue by which they see, understand and interact with data projects. Consequently, it is important that visualizations communicate insights as clearly as possible. But too often, visualizations are hindered by some common flaws that make them difficult to interpret, or worse yet, are misleading. This article will review three common visualization pitfalls that both data communicators and data consumers should understand, as well as some practical suggestions for getting around them.

Responsible use of automated decision systems in the federal government
Data scientists play an important role in assessing data quality and building models to support automated decision systems. An understanding of when the Directive on Automated Decision-Making applies and how to meet its requirements can support the ethical and responsible use of these systems. In particular, the explanation requirement and the guidance (Guidance on Service and Digital, section 4.5.3.) from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) on model selection are of high relevance to data scientists.

State of Open Data
It’s been ten years since open data first broke onto the global stage. Over the past decade, thousands of programmes and projects around the world have worked to open data and use it to address a myriad of social and economic challenges. Meanwhile, issues related to data rights and privacy have moved to the centre of public and political discourse. As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain.

Stop explaining black box machine learning models for high stakes decisions and use interpretable models instead
Black box machine learning models are currently being used for high-stakes decision making throughout society, causing problems in healthcare, criminal justice and other domains. Some people hope that creating methods for explaining these black box models will alleviate some of the problems, but trying to explain black box models, rather than creating models that are interpretable in the first place, is likely to perpetuate bad practice and can potentially cause great harm to society. The way forward is to design models that are inherently interpretable. This Perspective clarifies the chasm between explaining black boxes and using inherently interpretable models, outlines several key reasons why explainable black boxes should be avoided in high-stakes decisions, identifies challenges to interpretable machine learning, and provides several example applications where interpretable models could potentially replace black box models in criminal justice, healthcare and computer vision.

OECD Open Government data
Open Government Data (OGD) is a philosophy- and increasingly a set of policies - that promotes transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all. Public bodies produce and commission huge quantities of data and information. By making their datasets available, public institutions become more transparent and accountable to citizens. By encouraging the use, reuse and free distribution of datasets, governments promote business creation and innovative, citizen-centric services.

Data Interoperability Guide
Over the years, countless systems that do not talk to one another have been created within and across organizations for the purposes of collecting, processing and disseminating data for development. With the proliferation of different technology platforms, data definitions and institutional arrangements for managing, sharing and using data, it has become increasingly necessary to dedicate resources to integrate the data necessary to support policy-design and decision-making. Interoperability is the ability to join-up and merge data without losing meaning (JUDS 2016). In practice, data is said to be interoperable when it can be easily re-used and processed in different applications, allowing different information systems to work together. Interoperability is a key enabler for the development sector to become more data-driven.
