Author: Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein

Publisher: MIT Press

Publication Year: 2020

Summary: The following book chapter discusses how context is everything. Numbers are just numbers and cannot speak for themselves. Future data scientists need to incorporate the context with whatever models that they build because this fosters understanding the environment where the data was collected and in turn, produce better models that allow inclusivity for all communities.
