Performative prediction: Past and future
M Hardt, C Mendler-Dünner - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.16608, 2023 - arxiv.org
Predictions in the social world generally influence the target of prediction, a phenomenon
known as performativity. Self-fulfilling and self-negating predictions are examples of …

Insights from insurance for fair machine learning
C Fröhlich, RC Williamson - The 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We argue that insurance can act as an analogon for the social situatedness of machine
learning systems, hence allowing machine learning scholars to take insights from the rich …

Prediction without Preclusion: Recourse Verification with Reachable Sets
Machine learning models are often used to decide who will receive a loan, a job interview,
or a public benefit. Standard techniques to build these models use features about people but …

Automated decision-making as domination
J Burrell - First Monday, 2024 - firstmonday.org
Abstract Machine learning ethics research is demonstrably skewed. Work that defines
fairness as a matter of distribution or allocation and that proposes computationally tractable …
