Applications of Quantification

Abstract

This chapter provides the motivation for what is to come in the rest of the book by describing the applications that quantification has been put at, ranging from improving classification accuracy in domain adaptation, to measuring and improving the fairness of classification systems with respect to a sensitive attribute, to supporting research and development in fields that are usually more concerned with aggregate data than with individual data, such as the social sciences, political science, epidemiology, market research, ecological modelling, and others.
