An Introduction to Algorithmic Fairness

I will give a brief introduction to algorithmic fairness. I will introduce and compare several different definitions of fairness that can be used to evaluate outcomes of algorithmic decision procedures and highlight their relationship. Of particular interest are the tensions between notions of individual and group fairness, and between various notions of group fairness. The motivation and main take-aways from the presentation are aimed at a general academic audience, but I will include mathematically precise terms.
