Foundations of Algorithmic Fairness

As machine learning becomes more and more spread in our society, the potential risk of using algorithms that behave unfairly is rising. As a result there is growing interest to design learning methods that meet fairness requirements. Several ELLIS units across Europe decided to come together and organize a 2 days workshop on the topic of algorithmic fairness. The aim of this event is to provide a platform for presenting recent advances in this area, with a focus on algorithms foundations, as well as discussing future research opportunities. During these two days our invited speakers are going to present the latest developments covering a variety of learning problems.
