A Distributionally Robust Optimisation Approach to Fair Credit Scoring

arXiv:2402. 01811v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Credit scoring has been catalogued by the European Commission and the Executive Office of the US President as a high-risk classification task, in light of the potential harms of making loan approval decisions based on models that would be biased against certain groups.

Trustworthy Machine Learning through the Lens of Combinatorial Optimization: Survey and Research Perspectives

Modern machine learning (ML) increasingly relies on complex models whose behavior is difficult to characterize beyond empirical performance metrics. Across a wide range of tasks, including prediction, generation, and decision-making, models with similar empirical performance can exhibit markedly different properties in terms of their transparency, interpretability, robustness, fairness, privacy, and certifiability.

Decision-Aligned Evaluation of Uncertainty Quantification

arXiv:2606. 26990v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Uncertainty estimates in machine learning are typically evaluated using generic metrics such as the negative log-likelihood and expected calibration error, yet good performance on such metrics does not necessarily imply high utility in downstream decisions.
