We present a semantic criterion for fairness notions for multiparty interaction. We show that if a fairness notion violates the criterion, then no deterministic algorithm for multiparty interaction scheduling can satisfy the fairness requirement. Conversely, the implementation is possible if the criterion is obeyed. Thus, the criterion is suucient and necessary to guarantee fairness implementab...

Algorithmic fairness aims to remedy issues stemming from algorithmic bias.

The accuracy of face recognition algorithms has progressed rapidly due to the onset deep learning and widespread availability training data. Though tests algorithm performance indicate yearly gains, error rates for many these systems differ based on demographic composition test set. These “demographic differentials” have raised concerns with regard “fairness” systems. However, no international ...

The many works devoted to the issue of fairness in language testing (e.g., Kunnan, 1999, 2000; Shohamy, 2001; Spolsky, 1981) testify to the field’s recognition of the importance of this issue. Brown (1996) defines fairness as “the degree to which a test treats every student the same or the degree to which it is impartial” (p. 31). The goal of language tests is to impartially measure individual ...

Recent research has found that fairness plays a key role in customer satisfaction. Fairness in an online context and how it influences customer satisfaction, however, has yet been investigated. This research examines satisfaction from a fairness lens and explores the mediators of fairness to satisfaction in the internet bank context. 131 surveys were analyzed and results show that in internet b...

Plagiate und andere Fälle wissenschaftlichen Fehlverhaltens landen regelmäßig in den Medien geben auch Außenstehenden Einblicke problematische Forschungsprozesse. Während diese Skandale ein Schlaglicht auf offensichtliche oder absichtliche Fehler werfen, sind die alltäglichen Herausforderungen wissenschaftlicher Praxis weitaus komplexer. Die Autor*innen analysieren Vielschichtigkeit Verwobenhei...

There are many medium access control (MAC) protocols proposed to achieve fairness in presence of hidden and/or exposed nodes. In [2] a general approach to address the propblem of fairness is proposed. This approach defines a fairness index and the goal is to minimize this fairness index to achieve fairness. in this paper we propose a fairness index by taking into account both node’s data traffi...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...
