Fairness is a desirable property of decision   rules applied to a population of individuals. For example,   college admissions should be decided on variables that inform   about merit, but fairness may also require taking into account   the fact that certain communities are inherently disadvantaged.   At the same time, a person should not feel that another in a   similar situation obtained an unfair advantage. All this must be   taken into account while still caring about optimizing for a   decision maker's utility function. As another example, consider   mortgage decisions: while lenders should take into account the   creditworthiness of individuals in order to make a profit,   society must ensure that they do not unduly discriminate against   socially vulnerable groups. The problem becomes even more   challenging when we take into account potential uncertainties in   decision making models, which can make some notions of fairness   impossible to satisfy. This project will examine fairness in   decision making for a topic of the student's choice, but the   focus should always be in data driven problems.
