Machine Learning Coffee seminar: "Fairness-aware machine intelligence: foundations and challenges" Indre Zliobaite

Weekly seminars held jointly by Aalto University and the University of Helsinki.

Helsinki region machine learning researchers will start our week by an exciting machine learning talk. The aim is to gather people from different fields of science with interest in machine learning. Porridge and coffee is served at 9:00 and the talk will begin at 9:15.

Fairness-aware machine intelligence: foundations and challenges

Indre Zliobaite
University of helsinki

Abstract:

Algorithmic decision making is pervasive, the prices we pay, the news or movies we see, the jobs or credits we get are advised by algorithms. Not so long ago the public used to think that decision making by computers is inherently objective, but realization that models learned from data are not more objective than the data on which they have been trained is becoming common. Fairness-aware machine learning has emerged as a discipline about ten years ago with the main goal to correct algorithmically for potential biases towards sensitive groups of people. The talk will discuss the main challenges, existing solutions and current trends in this research area.
