<h4>What's the story behind xD?</h4>
<p>
The Census Bureau has long been technologically forward-thinking, from creating the first punch cards and electronic tabulators to being the first civilian agency to install and use the UNIVAC 1 mainframe computer. Founded in 2017 by Presidential Innovation Fellows, xD continues in this tradition by exploring partnership with industry leaders and continuing to drive innovation at the Census Bureau. Working with other federal agencies and academia to bring artificial intelligence, data science, and other cutting-edge approaches to the work of the U.S. Census Bureau, xD has been focused on two project portfolios – Combating Bias in AI and Deploying Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) – and will continue to explore further innovation in the coming years.

title: Automated Change Detection in Geospatial Imagery
subtitle: Employing machine learning on satellite imagery to improve representation in surveys.
excerpt: This project seeks to reduce algorithmic bias and bias caused by human error in current workflows, as well as to improve operational efficiencies and representation in surveys.

<p>
Are there emerging technologies and methods that might serve us as we work to ensure we have timely
and complete collection of residential addresses from which we create critical data? We’re employing
machine learning models which correlate changes in housing unit data with satellite imagery to improve
automation around change detection and bias reduction. If successful, this project will reduce algorithmic
bias and bias caused by human error in current workflows, to improve operational efficiencies and
representation in surveys.

title: Bias Toolkit
subtitle: Equipping experts with tools that help mitigate and correct sources of bias in federal data.
title: AI Toolkit
subtitle: Tools that help deploy AI in government contexts.
excerpt: Bias in federal data is not a new issue, but the importance of addressing it is compounded by the increasing application of machine learning (ML) models. This toolkit is designed to meet the unique needs of the public sector, highlighting the range of government processes that can benefit from a consideration of machine learning ethics.
