Unlawful Proxy Discrimination: A Framework for Challenging Inherently Discriminatory Algorithms

no code implementations22 Apr 2024 Hilde Weerts, Aislinn Kelly-Lyth, Reuben Binns, Jeremias Adams-Prassl

In this paper, we focus on the most likely candidate for direct discrimination in the algorithmic context, termed inherent direct discrimination, where a proxy is inextricably linked to a protected characteristic.

The Neutrality Fallacy: When Algorithmic Fairness Interventions are (Not) Positive Action

no code implementations18 Apr 2024 Hilde Weerts, Raphaële Xenidis, Fabien Tarissan, Henrik Palmer Olsen, Mykola Pechenizkiy

While individuals and organizations have an obligation to avoid discrimination, the use of fairness-aware machine learning interventions has also been described as amounting to 'algorithmic positive action' under European Union (EU) non-discrimination law.

Algorithmic Unfairness through the Lens of EU Non-Discrimination Law: Or Why the Law is not a Decision Tree

no code implementations5 May 2023 Hilde Weerts, Raphaële Xenidis, Fabien Tarissan, Henrik Palmer Olsen, Mykola Pechenizkiy

In this paper, we aim to illustrate to what extent European Union (EU) non-discrimination law coincides with notions of algorithmic fairness proposed in computer science literature and where they differ.

Can Fairness be Automated? Guidelines and Opportunities for Fairness-aware AutoML

no code implementations15 Mar 2023 Hilde Weerts, Florian Pfisterer, Matthias Feurer, Katharina Eggensperger, Edward Bergman, Noor Awad, Joaquin Vanschoren, Mykola Pechenizkiy, Bernd Bischl, Frank Hutter

The field of automated machine learning (AutoML) introduces techniques that automate parts of the development of machine learning (ML) systems, accelerating the process and reducing barriers for novices.

Does the End Justify the Means? On the Moral Justification of Fairness-Aware Machine Learning

no code implementations17 Feb 2022 Hilde Weerts, Lambèr Royakkers, Mykola Pechenizkiy

In this paper, we present a framework for moral reasoning about the justification of fairness metrics and explore the moral implications of the use of fair-ml algorithms that optimize for them.
