Fast algorithms to improve fair information access in networks
Dennis Robert Windham, Caroline J. Wendt, Alex Crane +5
We consider the problem of selecting seed nodes in a network to maximize the minimum probability of activation under an independent cascade beginning at these seeds. The motiva…
Reducing Access Disparities in Networks using Edge Augmentation
Ashkan Bashardoust, Sorelle A. Friedler, Carlos E. Scheidegger +2
In social networks, a node's position is a form of \it{social capital}. Better-positioned members not only benefit from (faster) access to diverse information, but innately have mo…
Information access representations and social capital in networks
Ashkan Bashardoust, Hannah C. Beilinson, Sorelle A. Friedler +6
Social network position confers power and social capital. In the setting of online social networks that have massive reach, creating mathematical representations of social capital…
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…
