DESCRIPTION:Title: User Aspects of Fairness-Aware Recommendation\n\nPresent
 er: Department Chair\, Information Science\, Univeristy of Colorado Boulder
 \n\nAbstract: Recommender systems are machine learning systems that provide
  personalized results to users across a wide array of applications from soc
 ial media to e-commerce to news to online dating. As fairness in machine le
 arning has become a major sub-field of research in the past five years\, re
 commender systems have also benefited from this emphasis. However\, as thes
 e fairness-aware systems begin to be deployed\, it becomes quite clear that
  we know very little about how users think about and interact with systems 
 that take ethical stances\, stances which might put them at odds with user 
 interests and goals. This talk will discuss some recent research into these
  issues\, highlight some of open questions and consider potential research 
 that might address them.\n\nBio: Professor Robin Burke conducts research in
  personalized recommender systems\, a field he helped found and develop. Am
 ong other topics\, his research group\, That Recommender Systems Lab\, expl
 ores fairness\, accountability and transparency in recommendation through t
 he integration of objectives from diverse stakeholders. He joined the Depar
 tment of Information Science in 2019 from the School of Computing at DePaul
  University. Professor Burke is the author of more than 150 peer-reviewed a
 rticles in various areas of artificial intelligence including recommender s
 ystems\, machine learning and information retrieval. His work has received 
 support from the National Science Foundation\, the National Endowment for t
 he Humanities\, the Fulbright Commission and the MacArthur Foundation\, amo
 ng others.\nWebsite
