Excited to share that our paper, “Understanding challenges to the interpretation of evaluations of algorithmic fairness” has been accepted to NeurIPS 2025! You can read the paper now on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2506.04193.
Understanding challenges to the interpretation of disaggregated evaluations of algorithmic fairness
Disaggregated evaluation across subgroups is critical for assessing the fairness of machine learning models, but its uncritical use can mislead practitioners. We show that equal performance across sub...

I've recently put together a "Fairness FAQ": tinyurl.com/fairness-faq. If you work in non-fairness ML and you've heard about fairness, perhaps you've wondered things like what the best definitions of fairness are, and whether we can train algorithms that optimize for it.

These started out as notes for myself, but people seem to appreciate them. 😅
I'll keep track of all of them in this thread.
