User-oriented fairness in recommendation

Y Li, H Chen, Z Fu, Y Ge, Y Zhang - Proceedings of the web conference …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
As a highly data-driven application, recommender systems could be affected by data bias,
resulting in unfair results for different data groups, which could be a reason that affects the …

Identifying and correcting label bias in machine learning

H Jiang, O Nachum - International conference on artificial …, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
Datasets often contain biases which unfairly disadvantage certain groups, and classifiers
trained on such datasets can inherit these biases. In this paper, we provide a mathematical …

Towards personalized fairness based on causal notion

Y Li, H Chen, S Xu, Y Ge, Y Zhang - … of the 44th International ACM SIGIR …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
Recommender systems are gaining increasing and critical impacts on human and society
since a growing number of users use them for information seeking and decision making …

Wasserstein fair classification

R Jiang, A Pacchiano, T Stepleton… - Uncertainty in …, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
We propose an approach to fair classification that enforces independence between the
classifier outputs and sensitive information by minimizing Wasserstein-1 distances. The …

Fairness in machine learning

L Oneto, S Chiappa - Recent trends in learning from data: Tutorials from …, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Machine learning based systems are reaching society at large and in many aspects
of everyday life. This phenomenon has been accompanied by concerns about the ethical …

On the compatibility of privacy and fairness

R Cummings, V Gupta, D Kimpara… - Adjunct publication of the …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
In this work, we investigate whether privacy and fairness can be simultaneously achieved by
a single classifier in several different models. Some of the earliest work on fairness in …

Optimization with non-differentiable constraints with applications to fairness, recall, churn, and other goals

A Cotter, H Jiang, M Gupta, S Wang, T Narayan… - Journal of Machine …, 2019 - jmlr.org
We show that many machine learning goals can be expressed as “rate constraints” on a
model's predictions. We study the problem of training non-convex models subject to these …

Fairness without harm: Decoupled classifiers with preference guarantees

B Ustun, Y Liu, D Parkes - International Conference on …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
In domains such as medicine, it can be acceptable for machine learning models to include
sensitive attributes such as gender and ethnicity. In this work, we argue that when there is …
