The DAATE Team would like to thank the following individuals who have helped in the journey of developing DAATE:
The DAATE Team was inspired by the following work:
Bias on the bench
In 2016 the Sarasota Herald-Tribune published an investigative series titled 'Bias on the Bench' found that trial judges in Florida were sentencing black defendants to more time behind bars than whites - for the same crimes.
American Equity and Justice Group
A non-profit organization that provides transparency to measure equality in the criminal legal system.
Bias Detection Engine
The Bias & Disparity Detection Engine (BDDE) will be powered by IBM's AI Fairness 360 functionality, refined to specifically isolate disparity in Federal sentencing outcomes of Black vs. White defendants.
