内容简介:

Utility-oriented machine learning systems have made their way into the real world, assisting with high-stakes decision-making in areas such as college admissions, loan approvals, and credit auditing. However, the inherent biases embedded in these models, stemming from unbalanced data, can backfire and worsen existing social barriers. Fairness in machine learning has gained significant attention to tackle the above algorithmic discrimination in diverse tasks. Among these literature, mitigating unfairness can be achieved through three main categories of solutions: pre-processing, in-processing, and post-processing. In this talk, I will introduce our recent studies on fairness machine learning of learning and data perspectives.
