The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received a $392,992 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support research and education activities aimed at developing machine learning techniques that break through the fairness-accuracy tradeoff paradigm. Specifically, the university researchers will draw on ideas from learning theory and uncertainty estimation to introduce notions of algorithmic fairness that can be satisfied in ways that are error-improving for all populations. The project seeks to find methods for dynamically updating models as needed to address performance issues for populations of interest, without requiring groups to be pre-identified or necessitating accuracy decreases. Researchers will also formulate fairness metrics with meaningful downstream applications and enable predictive models to guarantee such fairness. Expected products include research papers, software, and educational materials for researchers, students and the public. The period of performance is from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025.
