• Abstract: Due to the opacity of machine learning technology, there is a need for explainability and fairness in the decision support systems used in public or private organizations. Although the criteria for appropriate explanations and fair decisions change depending on the values of those who are affected by the decisions, there is a lack of discussion framework to consider the appropriate outputs for each stakeholder. In this paper, we propose a discussion framework that we call "stakeholder-in-the-loop fair decisions." This is proposed to consider the requirements for appropriate explanations and fair decisions. We identified four stakeholders that need to be considered to design accountable decision support systems and discussed how to consider the appropriate outputs for each stakeholder by referring to our works. By clarifying the characteristics of specific stakeholders in each application domain and integrating the stakeholders' values into outputs that all stakeholders agree upon, decision support systems can be designed as systems that ensure accountable decision makings.

• Causal Fairness for Outcome Control [68.12191782657437]
  We study a specific decision-making task called outcome control in which an automated system aims to optimize an outcome variable $Y$ while being fair and equitable. In this paper, we first analyze through causal lenses the notion of benefit, which captures how much a specific individual would benefit from a positive decision. We then note that the benefit itself may be influenced by the protected attribute, and propose causal tools which can be used to analyze this.

• Causal Fairness Analysis [68.12191782657437]
  We introduce a framework for understanding, modeling, and possibly solving issues of fairness in decision-making settings. The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms. Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.

  In prediction-based decision-making systems, different perspectives can be at odds. The short-term business goals of the decision makers are often in conflict with the decision subjects' wish to be treated fairly. We propose a framework to make these value-laden choices clearly visible.

  We consider two variants of decision making, where "good" decisions amount to alternatives meeting "most" goals, and (ii) meeting "most preferred" goals. We then define, for each variant and notion of "goodness," explanations in two formats, for justifying the selection of an alternative to audiences with differing needs and competences.

  We explore the use of historical expert decisions as a rich source of information that can be combined with observed outcomes to narrow the construct gap. We propose an influence function-based methodology to estimate expert consistency indirectly when each case in the data is assessed by a single expert. Our empirical evaluation, using simulations in a clinical setting and real-world data from the child welfare domain, indicates that the proposed approach successfully narrows the construct gap.
