Abstract: An increasing number of decisions regarding the daily lives of human beings are being controlled by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in spheres ranging from healthcare, transportation, and education to college admissions, recruitment, provision of loans and many more realms. Since they now touch on many aspects of our lives, it is crucial to develop AI algorithms that are not only accurate but also objective and fair. Recent studies have shown that algorithmic decision-making may be inherently prone to unfairness, even when there is no intention for it. This paper presents an overview of the main concepts of identifying, measuring and improving algorithmic fairness when using AI algorithms. The paper begins by discussing the causes of algorithmic bias and unfairness and the common definitions and measures for fairness. Fairness-enhancing mechanisms are then reviewed and divided into pre-process, in-process and post-process mechanisms. A comprehensive comparison of the mechanisms is then conducted, towards a better understanding of which mechanisms should be used in different scenarios. The paper then describes the most commonly used fairness-related datasets in this field. Finally, the paper ends by reviewing several emerging research sub-fields of algorithmic fairness.

To Split or Not to Split: The Impact of Disparate Treatment in Classification
TL;DR: The benefit-of-splitting is introduced for quantifying the performance improvement by splitting classifiers and sharp upper and lower bounds are provided for the benefit of splitting which reveal precise conditions where a group-blind classifier will always suffer from a non-trivial performance gap from the split classifiers.
Antidiscrimination Laws, Artificial Intelligence, and Gender Bias: A Case Study in Nonmortgage Fintech Lending
TL;DR: This paper provides technically and legally permissible approaches for firms to reduce discrimination across different antidiscrimination regimes whilst managing profitability, and observes that ML models are less discriminatory, of better predictive quality, and more profitable compared with traditional statistical models like logistic regression.

Non-monetary coordination mechanisms for time slot allocation in warehouse delivery
TL;DR: Results show that randomized matching mechanisms provide an effective means to reduce waiting times at warehouses without requiring monetary transfers by the carriers and provide a practical solution to wide-spread coordination problems.

Junchi Yu,Jian Liang,Ran He +2 more
TL;DR: LiSA as discussed by the authors generates label-invariant augmentations to facilitate graph OOD generalization by using variational subgraph generators to extract locally predictive patterns and construct multiple label-variant subgraphs efficiently.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate instances oversampling to improve fairness and demonstrate on real-world datasets (Adult and COMPAS) that over-sampling techniques increase fairness, without greater decrease in predictive accuracy.

TL;DR: A new framework for estimating generative models via an adversarial process, in which two models are simultaneously train: a generative model G that captures the data distribution and a discriminative model D that estimates the probability that a sample came from the training data rather than G.

TL;DR: A new global logbilinear regression model that combines the advantages of the two major model families in the literature: global matrix factorization and local context window methods and produces a vector space with meaningful substructure.

TL;DR: The relationship between transfer learning and other related machine learning techniques such as domain adaptation, multitask learning and sample selection bias, as well as covariate shift are discussed.
A kernel two-sample test
TL;DR: This work proposes a framework for analyzing and comparing distributions, which is used to construct statistical tests to determine if two samples are drawn from different distributions, and presents two distribution free tests based on large deviation bounds for the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD).
