• Abstract: In response to the pressing challenge of kidney allocation, characterized by growing demands for organs, this research sets out to develop a data-driven solution to this problem, which also incorporates stakeholder values. The primary objective of this study is to create a method for learning both individual and group-level preferences pertaining to kidney allocations. Drawing upon data from the 'Pairwise Kidney Patient Online Survey.' Leveraging two distinct datasets and evaluating across three levels - Individual, Group and Stability - we employ machine learning classifiers assessed through several metrics. The Individual level model predicts individual participant preferences, the Group level model aggregates preferences across participants, and the Stability level model, an extension of the Group level, evaluates the stability of these preferences over time. By incorporating stakeholder preferences into the kidney allocation process, we aspire to advance the ethical dimensions of organ transplantation, contributing to more transparent and equitable practices while promoting the integration of moral values into algorithmic decision-making.

• A decision-theoretic model for a principal-agent collaborative learning problem [0.0]
  We consider a collaborative learning framework with principal-agent setting in which the principal determines a set of appropriate aggregation coefficients. The proposed framework offers some advantages in terms of stability and generalization, despite that both the principal and the agents do not necessarily need to have any knowledge of the sample distributions or the quality of each others' datasets.

  Federated learning has gained significant attention due to its ability to enable distributed learning while maintaining privacy constraints. It inherently experiences significant learning degradation and slow convergence speed. It is natural to employ the concept of clustering homogeneous clients into the same group, allowing only the model weights within each group to be aggregated.

  We propose an adversarial multi-task training strategy to simultaneously mitigate and detect bias in the deep learning-based medical image analysis system. Specifically, we propose to add a discrimination module against bias and a critical module that predicts unfairness within the base classification model. We evaluate our framework on a large-scale public-available skin lesion dataset.

  Researchers must choose whether to assume all subjects are drawn from a common population, or to model them as deriving from separate populations. We ran systematic simulations on synthetic multi-group behavioural data from a commonly used bandit task. We found that fitting groups separately provided the most accurate and robust inference across all conditions.

  Bipartite ranking aims to learn a scoring function that ranks positive individuals higher than negative ones from labeled data. There have been rising concerns on whether the learned scoring function can cause systematic disparity across different protected groups. We propose a model post-processing framework for balancing them in the bipartite ranking scenario.
