Drawing from cognitive and social sciences, we define wisdom as the ability to navigate intractable problems - those that are ambiguous, radically uncertain, novel, chaotic, or computationally explosive - through effective task-level and metacognitive strategies.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach that examines the relationship between individual fairness, adversarial robustness, and structural causal models in heterogeneous data spaces, particularly when dealing with discrete sensitive attributes.

Counterfactual explanations (CFE) are being widely used to explain algorithmic decisions, especially in consequential decision-making contexts (e. g., loan approval or pretrial bail).

Recent work has discussed the limitations of counterfactual explanations to recommend actions for algorithmic recourse, and argued for the need of taking causal relationships between features into consideration.

As machine learning is increasingly used to inform consequential decision-making (e. g., pre-trial bail and loan approval), it becomes important to explain how the system arrived at its decision, and also suggest actions to achieve a favorable decision.

Predictive models are being increasingly used to support consequential decision making at the individual level in contexts such as pretrial bail and loan approval.

We consider the problem of sufficient dimensionality reduction (SDR), where the high-dimensional observation is transformed to a low-dimensional sub-space in which the information of the observations regarding the label variable is preserved.

While stochastic approximation strategies have been explored for unsupervised dimensionality reduction to tackle this challenge, such approaches are not well-suited for accelerating computational speed for supervised dimensionality reduction.
