Research at the intersection of machine learning and the social sciences has provided critical new insights into social behavior. ...
In the first half of this paper, we walk through how social theory can be used to answer the basic methodological and interpretive questions that arise at each stage of the machine learning pipeline. ...
That said, these individuals of course bear no responsibility for the current content; all issues, errors, and omissions are the fault of the authors alone. ...

Given the impact of the digital revolution, critical questions emerge around the presumed need for this "into Africa" implementation. ...
In the second place, we assume that digitalisation will be driven through "out of Africa" developments rather than an "implementation in Africa". ...
Regarding maths and science education, essential for many jobs in the digital economy, South Africa ranked 139 out of 151 countries, receiving the highest African score. ...

As a learning theory tries to borrow from science a framework to found its method, it shows paradoxes and paralysing contraddictions. ...
