Call for Papers

Submission Deadline: Sep 12, 2024 AoE

We invite you to submit your research papers to the Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness through the Lens of Metrics and Evaluation (AFME), to be held as part of the Neurips 2024 conference. The workshop aims to spark discussions on revisiting algorithmic fairness metrics (typically developed in fair classification) and algorithmic evaluation in light of advances in large language models and international regulation.  With the evolving machine learning landscape and the emergence of large generative models, the question is: How will research in  algorithmic fairness be refined? 

The workshop will include two tracks: a Paper track and an Extended Abstract track.

The Papers track serves to highlight novel contributions that will be presented during the workshop as contributed talks and at the poster session. At the discretion of authors, accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings.

The Extended Abstract track welcomes early unfinished work that would benefit from feedback from the concentration of experts at the workshop. Accepted submissions will be presented as posters. 


Call for Papers

4-9 pages (not including references and appendix), NeurIPS format

Submission portal: CMT

Submissions to the Paper track should describe new projects aimed at studying algorithmic fairness in light of broad recent advances i.e. large generative models, international regulatory efforts, and new bias evaluation frameworks. Submissions should have theoretical or empirical results demonstrating the approach, and specifying how the project fills a gap in the current literature. Authors of accepted papers have the option to upload a 3-min video presentation of their paper. All recorded talks will be made available on the workshop website.

We welcome submissions of novel work in the area of fairness with a special interest on (but not limited to):

We also accept broad work on fairness including:

Abstract: Sep 06, 2024 AoE 

Full submission: Sep 12, 2024

Acceptance Notification: Oct 09, 2024 AoE

Format

Authors have the option to be included in the proceedings (PMLR) if their work is of high-quality as assessed by the peer-review process. 

Dual-submission policy: we accept submissions of ongoing unpublished work as well as work submitted elsewhere (FAccT, ICLR, SaTML, etc), or substantial extensions of works presented at other venues (not in proceedings). We however do not accept work that has been previously accepted as a journal or conference proceedings (including the main NeurIPS conference). Work that is presented at the main NeurIPS conference should not appear in a workshop.

Call for Extended Abstracts

1 page (max, anonymized) in pdf format 

Submission portal: CMT


The extended abstract track welcomes submissions of 1-page abstracts (including references) that provide new perspectives, discussions or novel methods that are not yet finalized on the topics of fairness, fairness metrics, regulations of large generative models, and/ or fairness in generative models. Accepted abstracts will be presented as posters at the workshop.


Deadline: Sep 12, 2024 AOE

Format (maximum one page pdf, references included). 


Upload a 1-page pdf file on CMT. The pdf file should follow the one-column format, main body text must be minimum 11 point font size and page margins must be minimum 0.5 inches (all sides).
