This paper defines software fairness and discrimination and develops a testing-based method for measuring if and how much software discriminates, focusing on causality in discriminatory behavior.

To address bias in machine learning, data scientists need tools that help them understand the trade-offs between model quality and fairness in their specific data domains.

We find that using APIs with blindspots statistically significantly reduces the developers' ability to correctly reason about the APIs in both languages, but that the effect is more pronounced for Python.

Recent studies have demonstrated that using machine learning for social applications can lead to injustice in the form of racist, sexist, and otherwise unfair and discriminatory outcomes.

Recent research has shown that seemingly fair machine learning models, when used to inform decisions that have an impact on peoples' lives or well-being (e. g., applications involving education, employment, and lending), can inadvertently increase social inequality in the long term.

Recent work has developed methods to automate formal verification using proof assistants, such as Coq and Isabelle/HOL, e. g., by training a model to predict one proof step at a time, and using that model to search through the space of possible proofs.
