Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the NeurIPS 2022 Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness through the Lens of Causality and Privacy. The workshop aims at showcasing novel work at the intersection of these topics. See our website for more details: www.afciworkshop.org.
The workshop is currently accepting submissions for papers (4-8 pages) and extended abstracts (1 page). Deadline: September 22, 2022.
Call for papers:
Paper submissions (4-8 pages) should describe new projects aimed at using Causality and/or Privacy to address fairness in machine learning. Submissions should have theoretical or empirical results demonstrating the approach, and specifying how the project fills a gap in the current literature.
We welcome submissions of novel work in the area of fairness with a special interest on (but not limited to):
- Failure modes of current fairness definitions
- Novel, application-specific formalizations of fairness
- Causal definitions of fairness
- Applications of counterfactual fairness
- Methods to encode domain-specific fairness knowledge into causal models
- Studies of practical limitations of causally grounded fairness methods
- Role of counterfactuals in studies of discrimination
- Compatibility of fairness and privacy notions
- Learning fair algorithms from encrypted data
- Privacy-preserving learning of fair algorithms
- Privacy-preserving auditing of algorithmic fairness
- Trade-offs between privacy, fairness and utility
- Policy aspects of data privacy and fairness
Authors have the option to be included in the proceedings (PMLR) if their work is of high-quality as assessed by the peer-review process.
Call for extended abstracts:
We are accepting submission of 1-page abstracts describing new projects aimed at using Causality and/or Privacy to address fairness in machine learning. Accepted abstracts will be presented as posters during the workshop.
