Principles of Business Analytics

Conduct independent research and compile a review report on the use of word embeddings in
business and its possible ethical issues. Your report should include the following requirements in
order:
a) Describe two possible applications of word embedding in business.
Hint: For each application, mention what are the motivations/benefits, how it works, what
datasets are involved and its results (if known), etc.
b) Discuss two popular implicit biases that usually occur in word embedding applications and
their possible ethical issues.
Hint: Describe each bias, give examples and explain why and how biases occur and may lead
to ethical issues.
c) Suggest two most important measures/best practices that you think can be used to alleviate
the ethically significant harms of these bias problems. Provide justification of your choices
and challenges of implementing these measures.
