AIhub monthly digest: September 2024 – real-time payments, evaluating dataset diversity, and AfriClimate AI at the Deep Learning Indaba

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we learn about a framework to evaluate diversity in datasets, find out how banks may strategically mitigate their risk from fraud in real-time payment systems, and hear about the AfriClimate AI workshop at the Deep Learning Indaba. Don't Just Claim It, Jerone Andrews and colleagues propose using measurement theory from the social sciences as a framework to improve the collection and evaluation of diverse machine learning datasets. We spoke to Jerone about this work, which won a best paper award at ICML 2024. Real-time payments offer a fast processing time (of around 10 seconds), allowing for near-immediate receipt of funds.
