EnCORE and IDEAL TRIPODS Institutes Collaboration website here

Monday, November 18 and Tuesday, November 19, 2024

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

5. Accountability in Experiment Design, with an emphasis on Replicability

6. Applications of these concepts across fields like Law, AI, and Biology.
