Description
A machine learning model called GRADE was used for PhD admission at UT Austin from the year 2013-2020. The model was trained a small set of past admission decisions which are already bias and was used immediately without further tuning or human validation. The model will score all applicants and the decision is made without further human assessment for applicants with the highest and lowest score. Only 362/588 full human reviews are conducted with a few people admitted and the majority of the rest being rejected by algorithm.
