Mitigating Bias in Algorithmic Systems -- A Fish-Eye View

Computers and Society 2022-02-22 v2

Abstract

Mitigating bias in algorithmic systems is a critical issue drawing attention across communities within the information and computer sciences. Given the complexity of the problem and the involvement of multiple stakeholders -- including developers, end-users, and third parties -- there is a need to understand the landscape of the sources of bias, and the solutions being proposed to address them, from a broad, cross-domain perspective. This survey provides a "fish-eye view," examining approaches across four areas of research. The literature describes three steps toward a comprehensive treatment -- bias detection, fairness management and explainability management -- and underscores the need to work from within the system as well as from the perspective of stakeholders in the broader context.
