Book Description

A theory of justice for AI models making decisions about employment, lending, education, criminal justice, and other important social goods.

This book draws on traditional philosophical theories of fairness to develop a framework for evaluating AI models, which can be called a theory of algorithmic justice - a theory inspired by the theory of justice developed by the American philosopher John Rawls.

• Fairness and Machine Learning: Limitations and Opportunities

  This book is an introduction to the intellectual foundations of this recently emergent field, drawing on a diverse range of disciplinary perspectives to identify the opportunities and hazards of automated decision-making.

• Interpretable Machine Learning: Black Box Models Explainable

  This book explains to you how to make (supervised) machine learning models interpretable. The book focuses on machine learning models for tabular data (also called relational or structured data) and less on computer vision and NLP tasks.

• An Introduction to Machine Learning Interpretability

  Understanding and trusting models and their results is a hallmark of good science. Get an applied perspective on how this applies to machine learning, including fairness, accountability, transparency, and explainable AI.
