Differential Perspectives: Epistemic Disconnects Surrounding the US Census Bureau's Use of Differential Privacy
danah boyd, Jayshree Sarathy
When the U.S. Census Bureau announced its intention to modernize its disclosure avoidance procedures for the 2020 Census, it sparked a controversy that is still underway. The move…
Extending a Phylogeny-based Method for Detecting Signatures of Multi-level Selection for Applications in Artificial Life
Matthew Andres Moreno, Sanaz Hasanzadeh Fard, Luis Zaman +1
Multilevel selection occurs when short-term individual-level reproductive interests conflict with longer-term group-level fitness effects. Detecting and quantifying this phenomenon…
Allocation Multiplicity: Evaluating the Promises of the Rashomon Set
Shomik Jain, Margaret Wang, Kathleen Creel +1
The Rashomon set of equally-good models promises less discriminatory algorithms, reduced outcome homogenization, and fairer decisions through model ensembles or reconciliation. How…
Data Collectives as a means to Improve Accountability, Combat Surveillance and Reduce Inequalities
Jane Hsieh, Angie Zhang, Seyun Kim +7
Platform-based laborers face unprecedented challenges and working conditions that result from algorithmic opacity, insufficient data transparency, and unclear policies and regulati…
Null Compliance: NYC Local Law 144 and the Challenges of Algorithm Accountability
Lucas Wright, Roxana Mike Muenster, Briana Vecchione +6
In July 2023, New York City became the first jurisdiction globally to mandate bias audits for commercial algorithmic systems, specifically for automated employment decisions system…
Robust Reward Placement under Uncertainty
Petros Petsinis, Kaichen Zhang, Andreas Pavlogiannis +2
We consider a problem of placing generators of rewards to be collected by randomly moving agents in a network. In many settings, the precise mobility pattern may be one of several…
Participation in the age of foundation models
Harini Suresh, Emily Tseng, Meg Young +3
Growing interest and investment in the capabilities of foundation models has positioned such systems to impact a wide array of public services. Alongside these opportunities is the…
Towards AI Accountability Infrastructure: Gaps and Opportunities in AI Audit Tooling
Victor Ojewale, Ryan Steed, Briana Vecchione +2
Audits are critical mechanisms for identifying the risks and limitations of deployed artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, the effective execution of AI audits remains inc…
Algorithmic Pluralism: A Structural Approach To Equal Opportunity
Shomik Jain, Vinith Suriyakumar, Kathleen Creel +1
We present a structural approach toward achieving equal opportunity in systems of algorithmic decision-making called algorithmic pluralism. Algorithmic pluralism describes a state…
The Algorithmic Imprint
Upol Ehsan, Ranjit Singh, Jacob Metcalf +1
When algorithmic harms emerge, a reasonable response is to stop using the algorithm to resolve concerns related to fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics (FATE). Howeve…
Selling Information in Competitive Environments
Alessandro Bonatti, Munther Dahleh, Thibaut Horel +1
Data buyers compete in a game of incomplete information about which a single data seller owns some payoff-relevant information. The seller faces a joint information- and mechanism-…
Accountability in an Algorithmic Society: Relationality, Responsibility, and Robustness in Machine Learning
A. Feder Cooper, Emanuel Moss, Benjamin Laufer +1
In 1996, Accountability in a Computerized Society [95] issued a clarion call concerning the erosion of accountability in society due to the ubiquitous delegation of consequential f…
BlockNet Report: Exploring the Blockchain Skills Concept and Best Practice Use Cases
Boris Duedder, Vladislav Fomin, Tan Guerpinar +6
In order to explore the practical potential and needs of interdisciplinary knowledge and competence requirements of Blockchain technology, the project activity "Development of Inte…
"Short is the Road that Leads from Fear to Hate": Fear Speech in Indian WhatsApp Groups
Punyajoy Saha, Binny Mathew, Kiran Garimella +1
WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world. Due to its popularity, WhatsApp has become a powerful and cheap tool for political campaigning being widely used during the…
Gaps in Information Access in Social Networks
Benjamin Fish, Ashkan Bashardoust, danah boyd +3
The study of influence maximization in social networks has largely ignored disparate effects these algorithms might have on the individuals contained in the social network. Individ…
The Holdout Randomization Test for Feature Selection in Black Box Models
Wesley Tansey, Victor Veitch, Haoran Zhang +2
We propose the holdout randomization test (HRT), an approach to feature selection using black box predictive models. The HRT is a specialized version of the conditional randomizati…
Evaluating stochastic seeding strategies in networks
Alex Chin, Dean Eckles, Johan Ugander
When trying to maximize the adoption of a behavior in a population connected by a social network, it is common to strategize about where in the network to seed the behavior, often…
Bayesian Nonparametric Thompson Sampling for Multi-Armed Bandits
Iñigo Urteaga, Chris H. Wiggins
In stochastic multi-armed bandits, rewards are generated by an unknown distribution; the world's reward uncertainty induces the exploration-exploitation trade-off. Thompson samplin…
A Churn for the Better: Localizing Censorship using Network-level Path Churn and Network Tomography
Shinyoung Cho, Rishab Nithyanand, Abbas Razaghpanah +1
Recent years have seen the Internet become a key vehicle for citizens around the globe to express political opinions and organize protests. This fact has not gone unnoticed, with c…
Food Productivity Trends from Hybrid Corn: Statistical Analysis of Patents and Field-test data
Mariam Barry, Giorgio Triulzi, Christopher L. Magee
In this research we study productivity trends of hybrid corn - an important subdomain of food production. We estimate the yearly rate of yield improvement of hybrid corn (measured…
