12 results for intersectionality

Intersectionality is a framework that analyzes how interlocking systems of power and oppression affect individuals along overlapping dimensions including race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and disability. Intersectionality theory therefore implies it is important that fairness in artificial intelligence systems b…

Intersectional constraints improve selection outcomes by reducing inequality.

problem Persistent inequality and reduced utility in selection processes due to implicit bias.
method Introducing intersectional constraints to mitigate the adverse effects of implicit bias in selection processes.
result Intersectional constraints can recover almost all the utility achievable in the absence of implicit bias, offering a significant advantage over non-intersectional constraints.

We propose definitions of fairness in machine learning and artificial intelligence systems that are informed by the framework of intersectionality, a critical lens arising from the Humanities literature which analyzes how interlocking systems of power and oppression affect individuals along overlapping dimensions inclu…

Group fairness is an important concern for machine learning researchers, developers, and regulators. However, the strictness to which models must be constrained to be considered fair is still under debate. The focus of this work is on constraining the expected outcome of subpopulations in kernel regression and, in part…

Introduces MPR to measure and optimize representation across intersectional groups in retrieval.

problem Harmful stereotypes, cultural erasure, and social disparities in image search and retrieval.
method Develops MPR metric, practical estimation methods, theoretical guarantees, and optimization algorithms.
result Optimizing MPR yields more proportional representation across multiple intersectional groups, often with minimal retrieval accuracy compromise.

The study assesses ML model robustness under worst-case subpopulations.

problem ML model performance degradation under non-training population.
method Two-stage estimation procedure for evaluating worst-case robustness over subpopulations.
result The method certifies model robustness and prevents unreliable deployments.

The paper evaluates the importance of monotonicity in AI fairness across various fields.

problem Ensuring fairness in AI applications across criminology, education, health care, and finance.
method Theoretical reasoning, simulation, and extensive empirical analysis of monotonic neural additive models (MNAMs).
result Monotonicity is essential for fairness in AI ethics and society, especially in criminology, education, health care, and finance.

With the aim of building machine learning systems that incorporate standards of fairness and accountability, we explore explicit subgroup sample complexity bounds. The work is motivated by the observation that classifier predictions for real world datasets often demonstrate drastically different metrics, such as accura…
