Week 12: Fairness
Follow-up
Here are a few links to follow-up from the today’s discussions:
-
Rohit asked about the Harvard admissions lawsuit. There are two expert reports from the case: Peter Arcidiacono’s (for “Students for Fair Admissions”) and David Card’s (for Harvard). They are both long reads, and with some parts redacted, mostly about Harvard’s “Dean’s List” for taking care of high donors. Unfortunately (or prehaps responsibly), the raw data for the analysis is not publicly available, but there is a lot of information in the reports.
-
Here is the article I mentioned: Ta-Nehisi Coates. The Case for Reparations, The Atlantic, June 2014. (Its not about AI fairness at all, but provides a lot of historical context for where we are now as a society, and something I would encourage everyone to read over winter break.
Next (Final) meeting
Next week is our final seminar meeting. Everyone should be prepared to give a short talk (no more than 3 minutes long) on your paper project. Unlike previous ones, I would encourage you to prepare slides for this, but you should not use more than 4 slides (not counting one for the title).
There is no reading preparation assignment, but if you have ideas for what to do at the final meeting, or food suggestions, please send them to me.
