Fairness in Algorithmic Recourse Through the Lens of Substantive Equality of Opportunity

no code implementations29 Jan 2024 Andrew Bell, Joao Fonseca, Carlo Abrate, Francesco Bonchi, Julia Stoyanovich

Building upon an agent-based framework for simulating recourse, this paper demonstrates how much effort is needed to overcome disparities in initial circumstances.

Setting the Right Expectations: Algorithmic Recourse Over Time

no code implementations13 Sep 2023 Joao Fonseca, Andrew Bell, Carlo Abrate, Francesco Bonchi, Julia Stoyanovich

The bulk of the literature on algorithmic recourse to-date focuses primarily on how to provide recourse to a single individual, overlooking a critical element: the effects of a continuously changing context.

Cooling down and waking up: feedback cooling switches an unconscious neural computer into a conscious quantum computer

no code implementations21 Aug 2023 Andrew Bell

This paper presents a theory of how feedback cooling in the brain reduces thermal noise to the point where macroscale quantum phenomena - crucially Bose-Einstein condensation - can operate at body temperature.

The Possibility of Fairness: Revisiting the Impossibility Theorem in Practice

no code implementations13 Feb 2023 Andrew Bell, Lucius Bynum, Nazarii Drushchak, Tetiana Herasymova, Lucas Rosenblatt, Julia Stoyanovich

The ``impossibility theorem'' -- which is considered foundational in algorithmic fairness literature -- asserts that there must be trade-offs between common notions of fairness and performance when fitting statistical models, except in two special cases: when the prevalence of the outcome being predicted is equal across groups, or when a perfectly accurate predictor is used.

Think About the Stakeholders First! Towards an Algorithmic Transparency Playbook for Regulatory Compliance

no code implementations10 Jun 2022 Andrew Bell, Oded Nov, Julia Stoyanovich

Increasingly, laws are being proposed and passed by governments around the world to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems implemented into the public and private sectors.
