• Abstract: Cyberbullying is a widespread adverse phenomenon among online social interactions in today's digital society. While numerous computational studies focus on enhancing the cyberbullying detection performance of machine learning algorithms, proposed models tend to carry and reinforce unintended social biases. In this study, we try to answer the research question of "Can we mitigate the unintended bias of cyberbullying detection models by guiding the model training with fairness constraints?". For this purpose, we propose a model training scheme that can employ fairness constraints and validate our approach with different datasets. We demonstrate that various types of unintended biases can be successfully mitigated without impairing the model quality. We believe our work contributes to the pursuit of unbiased, transparent, and ethical machine learning solutions for cyber-social health.

  Given the escalating risks of malicious attacks in the finance sector, understanding adversarial strategies and robust defense mechanisms for machine learning models is critical. We aim to investigate the current state and dynamics of adversarial attacks and defenses for neural network models that use sequential financial data as the input. We have designed a competition that allows realistic and detailed investigation of problems in modern financial transaction data. The participants compete directly against each other, so possible attacks and defenses are examined in close-to-real-life conditions.

  We present a study of fairness in online personalization settings involving the ranking of individuals. We first demonstrate that online personalization can cause the model to learn to act in an unfair manner if the user is biased in his/her responses. We then formulate the problem of learning personalized models under fairness constraints and present a regularization based approach for mitigating biases in machine learning.
