This course will introduce selected topics in machine learning fairness, explainability, and safety, with a focus on approaches providing provable correctness and quality guarantee. The course will consist of three parts: lectures, group discussions, and paper presentations. In the lectures, selected research topics and results will be introduced in a self-contained manner. During the group discussion sessions, students will discuss in groups over selected scientific articles and case studies. For the paper presentation sessions, students will read and present recent technical papers. After taking this course, students will gain a general knowledge of Trustworthy AI, as well as a deep understanding of specific techniques for practicing and researching formal AI fairness, explainability, and safety.
