Previous Meeting:
• 2022 Annual Meeting

Meeting Goals:
The Simons Collaboration on the Theory of Algorithmic Fairness aims to establish firm mathematical foundations, through the lens of computer science theory, for the emerging area of algorithmic fairness. Given the unique multidisciplinary nature of this topic, collaboration research looks inwards and outwards. Inwards towards the models, definitions, algorithms, and mathematical connections that the theory of computations can contribute to this effort and outwards towards other areas in computer science and beyond. Looking outside facilitates a discourse with different and at times opposing perspectives, a fruitful exchange of techniques and exposure to important application areas.

The second annual meeting of the collaboration will showcase progress in Algorithm Fairness as well as exciting insights and breakthrough results in the areas of Algorithms, Computational Social Sciences, Cryptography, Differential Privacy, Dynamic Systems, Game Theory, Machine Learning as well as further away areas such as the medical sciences, public policy, and law. The diverse set of participants will allow for informal discussions and new collaborations.
