We're organising an online workshop @GlasgowCS on Fairness & Bias in Information Retrieval on Tue 23rd March. We have already a great lineup of confirmed speakers. Registration is free and is now open: eventbrite.co.uk/e/fairness-and… #FAIRER2021
2020-12-01 20:00:47We are getting ready to welcome everyone to the #FAIRER2021 online workshop on Fairness in IR and AI @GlasgowCS eventbrite.co.uk/e/fairness-and… pic.twitter.com/3ueujXc9tH
2021-03-23 18:11:16Looking forward to attend the #FAIRER2021 workshop today. Hope I won’t be offline too long due to a provider change at home. twitter.com/graham_mcdonal…
2021-03-23 18:14:41Only 1 week to go until the Fairness and Bias in Information Retrieval online workshop! Tuesday 23rd March. Great line up of speakers and still a very few tickets left (free of charge!). Sign up here if you would like to attend: eventbrite.co.uk/e/fairness-and…
2021-03-17 01:24:58An exciting day of talks on fairness and information retrieval in the #FAIRER2021 workshop. Such an important topic in the world where a lot of our lives are guided by IR and RecSys.
2021-03-23 18:35:37Start of the Glasgow online fairness in IR workshop, 380 registrations! 380!! #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/DgR36QFSPy
2021-03-23 18:37:32We just kicked off the proceedings of the online #FAIRER2021 workshop - a very warm welcome to our speakers, panelists and delegates; we are excited to welcome over 380 delegates to the workshop pic.twitter.com/sQTEkE2Tn1

2021-03-23 18:45:06Trying to find some time to follow #FAIRER2021 today, nice event thrown by the Glasgow uni IR group. Opening talk by @mdr : "Actionable Interpretability" twitter.com/craig_macdonal…
2021-03-23 18:47:49The first talk at the #FAIRER2021 workshop is by @mdr who will be setting the scene in relation to the fundamental principles and questions regarding fairness and bias in IR/AI pic.twitter.com/rXCgOTSAiK
2021-03-23 18:49:24The fact that there are over 380 registrations for #FAIRER2021 is an indication of the level of interest and concern about fairness and bias in search implementation.
2021-03-23 19:07:10Listening to @mdr at #FAIRER2021 workshop, with a talk entitled “Actionable Interpretability. @ir_glasgow pic.twitter.com/slx78iaYQG
2021-03-23 19:13:31Insightful presentation by @mdr in the #FAIRER2021 workshop - makes the case for counterfactual explanations as examples of actionable interpretability - lots of refs that will make it in my reading list @ir_glasgow pic.twitter.com/jL13tWbXdD
2021-03-23 19:26:27A great take away summary slide from @mdr’s talk at #FAIRER2021 followed by a very comprehensive list of pointers and references pic.twitter.com/dnVnIFwJqT
2021-03-23 19:28:03Next up is @leifos talking on a Fairness Hypothesis #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/9nY9oYHfKb

2021-03-23 19:36:35The next speaker at the #FAIRER2021 workshop is @leifos who will be talking about the Fairness Hypothesis in IR pic.twitter.com/8RLR0tgSSX
2021-03-23 19:41:29After a nice overview by @mdr of his work with @__alucic on finding counterfactual examples to explain retrieval results, now @leifos travels back in time (a decade or so), bringing the audience up to date with the notion of retrievability (to quantify bias). #FAIRER2021
2021-03-23 19:51:17I hate all the lockdowns, but for science dissemination we really discovered a new mode of operation that we should integrate in the science workflow after Covid. Over 350 participants for a "local" workshop on the fore-front of IR research, really cool! #FAIRER2021 1/2
2021-03-23 19:59:30Perhaps every workshop/conference could integrate an "online talks event" on the final day of the event, featuring the best presentations from the workshop/conference in an online live session #FAIRER2021 2/2
2021-03-23 20:01:12Now @timgollins from @NatRecordsScot who will discuss the Challenges of Fair Retrieval in Archives and the Public Sector #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/cZFe9HPItu

2021-03-23 20:10:44Next @timgollins is exposing the challenges of retrieval fairness and bias in the archives and public sector #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/PHkYgtXdDm
2021-03-23 20:12:53.@timgollins says he is going for the oldest citation of the day #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/OOt2Pmbd4W
2021-03-23 20:13:22@timgollins highlighting at #FAIRER2021 that the Scottish archives he is responsible for account for 80km of shelving @NatRecordsScot The isssue - how to give neutral/fair access to this collection, compliant with the Equalities Act? Indeed, is it an unbiased collection?
2021-03-23 20:19:22The vocabulary mismatch problem is acute when the query and the relevant document differ by over 200 years. #FAIRER2021 pic.twitter.com/BQqltmdttd
2021-03-23 20:25:41For those interested in #fairness in #informationRetrieval you might want to follow this hashtag today #FAIRER2021
2021-03-23 20:26:38@timgollins highlighting the issues of changes of language over time #FAIRER2021 This is a huge challenge in enterprise collections where documentation on (eg. drug discovery) may date back 15 or more years and over that time topic terms have changed dramatically.
2021-03-23 20:44:50We were also discussing that it might be very difficult for recent neural network approaches to address address vocabulary mismatch across 200 years! #FAIRER2021 twitter.com/IntranetFocus/…
2021-03-23 20:47:17Discussion at #FAIRER2021 highlighting that issues around 'fairness' in information access is not just an 'AI' issue but is much broader. This conference is very timely in raising these issues and their implications

2021-03-23 21:43:01Kidding aside, the SIREN work presented by @CharlotteHase at #FAIRER2021 looks pretty cool; enabling experimentation before implementation. Would've been useful for us back when we experimented with incorporating editorial values in the @FD_Nieuws #recsys: graus.nu/research/beyon… pic.twitter.com/ezxhYsMPiU
