Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All models are imperfect and as recent experiences have shown,
educational applications of AI are not immune to the risks observed in
other domains. Teachers, students, and parents have protested the use
of educational systems in classrooms across the US, driven in part by
a lack of clear guidance on how the systems are managed, and a lack of
clear criteria on how they can be judged (NEP 2018, Bowles 2019,
Herold 2019). In complex educational environments problems such as
bias can go undetected in real time and may, over the long term and
large scale, far outweigh the potential benefits (Buckingham Shum
2018).
The goal of this workshop is to develop a focus on Fairness,
Accountability, & Transparency in Educational Data (FATED). This will
include discussion of open issues in EDM, and prior research on
fairness accountability and transparency in machine learning systems.
It will also include the presentation of novel peer-reviewed research
by the EDM community, and a practical tutorial on some methods for
assessing bias in trained models. Finally we will work to develop near
and long-term goals for the community.

Topics of Interest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complex educational environments raise a number of crucial ethical,
research, and policy issues. We invite papers that address questions
such as, but not limited to:
- How do we identify and ameliorate bias in our algorithms?
- How do we address the problem identified by Barocas & Hardt in their
NeurIPS
2017 tutorial: "Different models with the same reported accuracy can
have a
very different distribution of error across population"?
- How do we design systems that are accountable to social and policy
concerns
(Kroll et al. 2017)?
- How do we ensure student privacy (e.g. Aggrawal and Yu 2008, Dwork 2006)?
- How do we ensure fairness in educational systems (Holstein & Doroudi
2019,
Holstein et al. 2019)?
- How do we address the inevitable ethical challenges (Holmes et al. 2018,
Ben-Porath & Ben Shahar 2017)?
- And who really owns the data (Lynch 2017)?
