I tracked the cause down to the implementation of a channel in the API we used; but I couldn't spot the bug itself by staring at the code. This talk will describe how I used model checking to find the bug: I modelled the channel implementation using the process algebra CSP, and then used the model checker FDR to find the cause of the deadlock. There was a straightforward fix to the bug, which I then verified using CSP and FDR. The talk should be accessible to people with no knowledge of concurrent programming or CSP.

Much rarer are computer-assisted proofs, where computers finish the a proof of a theorem by doing a (typically huge) case check. But will advances in LLMs or interactive theorem provers mean that computers will soon start helping human mathematicians in new ways, or even doing maths themselves? I'll give a survey of the state of the art and suggest where we might be going. After the talk join us in the UGSA for some free pizza and an opportunity to discuss the talk with others.

[Oxford CompSoc banner graphic] [6th Week] MT6 Newsletter : Brent Mittelstadt Talk, Movie Night, OxBioHack TechBio Hackathon + More!! Salutations, We've got an action-packed week ahead with three incredible events that you won't want to miss. Get ready for a talk on the unfairness of fair machine learning with Brent Mittelstadt on Thursday, and at our upcoming Saturday Social we'll be hosting a movie night!! And for all those that registered, the time has finally come for the OxBioHack TechBio Hackathon. - Charlotte, CompSoc secretary Still not a member? Membership only costs £1 for LIFE, with tons of benefits - discounts on merch and tickets, free food at all socials, our exclusive Discord server and more - so it's definitely worth signing up!

Most define fairness in simple terms, where fairness means reducing gaps in performance or outcomes between demographic groups while preserving as much of the accuracy of the original system as possible. This oversimplification of equality through fairness measures is troubling. Many current fairness measures suffer from both fairness and performance degradation, or "levelling down," where fairness is achieved by making every group worse off, or by bringing better performing groups down to the level of the worst off. When fairness can only be achieved by making everyone worse off in material or relational terms through injuries of stigma, loss of solidarity, unequal concern, and missed opportunities for substantive equality, something would appear to have gone wrong in translating the vague concept of 'fairness' into practice. In this talk I will examine the causes and prevalence of levelling down across fairML, and explore possible justifications and criticisms based on philosophical and legal theories of equality and distributive justice, as well as equality law jurisprudence. FairML does not currently engage in the type of measurement, reporting, or analysis necessary to justify levelling down in practice. I will propose a first step towards substantive equality in fairML: "levelling up" systems by design through enforcement of minimum acceptable harm thresholds, or "minimum rate constraints," as fairness constraints. I will likewise propose an alternative harms-based framework to counter the oversimplified egalitarian framing currently dominant in the field and push future discussion more towards substantive equality opportunities and away from strict egalitarianism by default.
