摘要:

利用因果推理文献中的主要分层概念,我们引入了一个新的公平性概念,称为主要公平性,用于人类和算法决策。关键的想法是,人们不应该歧视那些同样受到决定影响的个人。与现有的公平性统计定义不同,主要公平性明确说明了个人可能受到决策影响的事实。此外,我们解释了如何从现有的cabetity为基础的公平标准的主要公平不同。例如,与反事实公平标准相反,主要公平考虑的是有关决定的影响,而不是受保护的利益属性的影响。我们简要地讨论了如何处理经验评估和策略学习问题下提出的主要公平标准。

英文摘要:

Using the concept of principal stratification from the causal inference literature, we introduce a new notion of fairness, called principal fairness, for human and algorithmic decision-making. The key idea is that one should not discriminate among individuals who would be similarly affected by the decision. Unlike the existing statistical definitions of fairness, principal fairness explicitly accounts for the fact that individuals can be impacted by the decision. Furthermore, we explain how principal fairness differs from the existing causality-based fairness criteria. In contrast to the counterfactual fairness criteria, for example, principal fairness considers the effects of decision in question rather than those of protected attributes of interest. We briefly discuss how to approach empirical evaluation and policy learning problems under the proposed principal fairness criterion.
