Algorithmic Fairness

Could algorithms make more equitable decisions? No: algorithms may propagate and amplify biases—its not enough just to learn/optimize.

Collaboration with other fields has both a language gap and a value gap.

Technical Algorithmic Fairness

fair scheduling, distributed computing, envy-freeness, cake cutting, stable matching, etc.

Interpreting Individual Probabilities

“I have n% probability of developing this thing” — what does this mean? what does it capture in the environment?

Applications

  • insurance: how does actuarial scenarios work for this case—it is, in those cases, context dependent
  • satisfying fairness maybe mis-generalized: discrimination can be subtle for a given measure (do you know it when you see it?)

Definitions of fairness, however, is important to characterize a system.

Begin with a new installation of MFA, and head to the directory. First run validate with the original dictionary.

mfa validate ~/Downloads/tb/my_corpus english_us_arpa english_us_arpa

We see that there is in deed an section of corpus that is out-of-vocab.

INFO -     11 OOV word types
INFO -     18 total OOV tokens

Therefore, we will generate a new dictionary based on the existing dictionary of english_us_arpa.

First download the english_us_arpa model

mfa model download g2p english_us_arpa

Then, perform the actual dictionary generation:
