This $600,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support research and education efforts at the University of Illinois on the topics of fairness in algorithmic decision-making and machine learning. The project aims to advance the state-of-the-art on achieving fairness in computational resource allocation tasks, like vaccine distribution, as well as developing fairness concepts for machine learning-based decision-making, such as in criminal justice and medical treatment. The research will draw on concepts from economics, social choice theory, operations research, and computer science to develop new theoretical frameworks and practical solutions for enabling fairness in these important societal applications of advanced computing. Additionally, the project will create educational and research opportunities for students at all levels. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has an overall period of performance from Jan 1, 2024 to Dec 31, 2026.
