“Towards fair, diversity-aware and unbiased data management with a focus on
social networks”
Abstract: For decades, research in data management has focused on improving
efficiency (making data access faster and lighter) and effectiveness
(providing relevant results to users). As data-driven decision making
becomes prevalent, there is a pending need for an additional perspective,
that of responsibility. In this talk, we focus on three aspects of
responsibility, namely diversity (ensuring that all perspectives are
represented), lack of bias (processing data without unjustifiable
concentration on a particular side), and fairness (nondiscriminatory
treatment of data and people). Special emphasis will be given on how these
aspects manifest themselves in social networks and on how recent research
addresses them.
