Rankings of people and items has been highly used in selection-making, match-making, and recommendation algorithms that have been deployed on ranging of platforms from employment websites to searching tools. The ranking position of a candidate affects the amount of opportunities received by the ranked candidate. It has been observed in several works that the ranking of candidates based on their score can be biased for candidates belonging to the minority community. In recent works, the fairness-aware representative ranking was proposed for computing fairness-aware re-ranking of results. The proposed algorithm achieves the desired distribution of top-ranked results with respect to one or more protected attributes. In this work, we highlight the bias in fairness-aware representative ranking for an individual as well as for a group if the group is sub-active on the platform. We define individual unfairness and group unfairness and propose methods to generate ideal individual and group fair representative ranking if the universal representation ratio is known or unknown. The simulation results show the quantified analysis of fairness in the proposed solutions. The paper is concluded with open challenges and further directions.
In this paper we propose a causal modeling approach to intersectional fairness, and a flexible, task-specific method for computing intersectionally fair rankings. Rankings are used in many contexts, ranging from Web search results to college admissio
With the emerging needs of creating fairness-aware solutions for search and recommendation systems, a daunting challenge exists of evaluating such solutions. While many of the traditional information retrieval (IR) metrics can capture the relevance,
While implicit feedback (e.g., clicks, dwell times, etc.) is an abundant and attractive source of data for learning to rank, it can produce unfair ranking policies for both exogenous and endogenous reasons. Exogenous reasons typically manifest themse
In this work, we define and solve the Fair Top-k Ranking problem, in which we want to determine a subset of k candidates from a large pool of n >> k candidates, maximizing utility (i.e., select the best candidates) subject to group fairness criteria.
Despite the remarkable success of the $Lambda$Cold Dark Matter ($Lambda$CDM) cosmological model, a growing discrepancy has emerged (currently measured at the level of $sim 4-6 sigma$) between the value of the Hubble constant $H_0$ measured using the
