An EnCORE and IDEAL TRIPODS Institutes Collaboration
The NSF TRIPODS Institutes—The Institute for Emerging CORE Methods for Data Science (EnCORE) at UCSD and The Institute for Data, Econometrics, Algorithms, and Learning (IDEAL) at Northwestern University—are co-hosting a workshop titled "Foundations of Fairness and Accountability." The event will take place from November 18-19, 2024 in a hybrid format at the Department of Computer Science at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. We plan to follow up with a second workshop at early Spring at the EnCORE institute at the University of California San Diego.
The workshop will feature a blend of talks and interactive discussions, focusing on key topics related to fairness and accountability. The main areas of exploration include:
1. Fairness in Resource Allocation
2. Fairness in Clustering & Ranking
3. Fairness in Prediction
4. Socio-Technical Aspects of Fairness & Accountability
4. Accountability in Experiment Design, with an emphasis on Replicability
5. Applications of these concepts across fields like Law, AI, and Biology.
