This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $938,381 Computer and Information Science and Engineering program will fund research into developing fair recommendation algorithms through social choice theory. The Regents of the University of Colorado is the primary awardee and will collaborate with Kiva Microfunds on the project objectives over a three year period from October 2021 through September 2024. The research aims to formalize multistakeholder fairness as a social choice problem in order to design and implement fairness-aware recommendation algorithms for loan recommendations on Kiva's platform. It will also study stakeholder perspectives on multiple fairness concepts to develop definitions of fairness concerns relevant to loan recommendations. Finally, the developed algorithms will be deployed and tested using industry standard evaluation methodologies including A/B testing to determine the algorithms' impact on user engagement and fairness outcomes. This research seeks to advance the understanding and practice of developing fairness-aware machine learning systems, filling a gap in examples for recommender systems applications.
