Postdoc Scholar advised by Aleksandra…Continue Reading Basileal Imana
Levi Kaplan’s research involves studying the fairness of various algorithms and social networks, investigating their propensity for bias, discrimination, and other harms. This is accomplished through black-box auditing, among other techniques. PhD student advised by Alan Mislove….Continue Reading Levi Kaplan
Piotr Sapiezynski‘s core work is auditing platforms and their algorithms for fairness and privacy. Together with his collaborators, they investigate systems that are optimized for corporate profit yet drive many aspects of our daily lives. All too often we find these systems have (possibly unintended but often predictable) side effects that bring harm to individuals…Continue Reading Piotr Sapiezynski
