collaborate with computer scientists at the Algorithmic Transparency Institute (a project of the National Conference on Citizenship) and other academic and non-profit organizations on data collection, analysis, academic reporting, and public outreach and engagement.</span></span><span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
