“By now, a lot of people are familiar with concerns about bias in algorithms. Kearns and Roth are looking at how the exact details of the design of the algorithms might be understood to incorporate, for example, aspects of privacy, or aspects of fairness, and how there are tradeoffs between those.

They’re really good at communicating fairly complex stuff about algorithms—with lots of diagrams and examples, stories and graphs—to people who might be slightly frightened of that stuff. They’re really good at explaining it. They’ve also done some really good lectures that you can find on YouTube, which you can watch before plunging into the book.” Read more...
