Strategic Evaluation: Subjects, Evaluators, and Society

no code implementations5 Oct 2023 Benjamin Laufer, Jon Kleinberg, Karen Levy, Helen Nissenbaum

Machine learning literature on strategic behavior has tried to describe these dynamics by emphasizing the efforts expended by decision subjects hoping to obtain a more favorable assessment -- some works offer ways to preempt or prevent such manipulations, some differentiate 'gaming' from 'improvement' behavior, while others aim to measure the effort burden or disparate effects of classification systems.

On the Actionability of Outcome Prediction

no code implementations8 Sep 2023 Lydia T. Liu, Solon Barocas, Jon Kleinberg, Karen Levy

Through a simple model encompassing actions, latent states, and measurements, we demonstrate that pure outcome prediction rarely results in the most effective policy for taking actions, even when combined with other measurements.

Informational Diversity and Affinity Bias in Team Growth Dynamics

no code implementations28 Jan 2023 Hoda Heidari, Solon Barocas, Jon Kleinberg, Karen Levy

Prior work has provided strong evidence that, within organizational settings, teams that bring a diversity of information and perspectives to a task are more effective than teams that do not.

Proactive Moderation of Online Discussions: Existing Practices and the Potential for Algorithmic Support

no code implementations29 Nov 2022 Charlotte Schluger, Jonathan P. Chang, Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, Karen Levy

To address the widespread problem of uncivil behavior, many online discussion platforms employ human moderators to take action against objectionable content, such as removing it or placing sanctions on its authors.

An Uncommon Task: Participatory Design in Legal AI

no code implementations8 Mar 2022 Fernando Delgado, Solon Barocas, Karen Levy

Despite growing calls for participation in AI design, there are to date few empirical studies of what these processes look like and how they can be structured for meaningful engagement with domain experts.

Computer Vision and Conflicting Values: Describing People with Automated Alt Text

no code implementations26 May 2021 Margot Hanley, Solon Barocas, Karen Levy, Shiri Azenkot, Helen Nissenbaum

In this paper, we investigate the ethical dilemmas faced by companies that have adopted the use of computer vision for producing alt text: textual descriptions of images for blind and low vision people, We use Facebook's automatic alt text tool as our primary case study.

Artificial intelligence in communication impacts language and social relationships

no code implementations10 Feb 2021 Jess Hohenstein, Dominic DiFranzo, Rene F. Kizilcec, Zhila Aghajari, Hannah Mieczkowski, Karen Levy, Mor Naaman, Jeff Hancock, Malte Jung

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now widely used to facilitate social interaction, but its impact on social relationships and communication is not well understood.

Representativeness in Statistics, Politics, and Machine Learning

no code implementations11 Jan 2021 Kyla Chasalow, Karen Levy

Today, as the concept crops up in the study of fairness and accountability in machine learning, we need to carefully consider the term's meanings in order to communicate clearly and account for their normative implications.

Accuracy-Efficiency Trade-Offs and Accountability in Distributed ML Systems

1 code implementation4 Jul 2020 A. Feder Cooper, Karen Levy, Christopher De Sa

Trade-offs between accuracy and efficiency pervade law, public health, and other non-computing domains, which have developed policies to guide how to balance the two in conditions of uncertainty.
