[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?

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.

Turing’s 1936 paper was a landmark in the history of computer science - but how exactly did it come about? In this talk, we will discuss the philosophical origins of the Turing machine and the paradox that inspired it. Speaker Bio: Peter Millican originally studied Mathematics at Oxford, but graduated in Philosophy and Theology before moving into postgraduate study in Philosophy (also at Oxford). After a brief spell lecturing in Philosophy of Religion at Glasgow, from 1985 until 2005 he lectured in Computer Science and Philosophy at Leeds University, where much of his work was devoted to building interdisciplinary links. In 2005 he became Gilbert Ryle Fellow at Hertford College, then Reader in Early Modern Philosophy in 2007, and Professor of Philosophy in 2010.

As we scale up the number of components, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to reason about the consistency and correctness of the overall system. In this talk, we explore how transaction logs, state machine replication, and control flow inversion have allowed us to structure our applications in a way that lets us reliably deal with data races and process failures. We introduce Aria, a low-latency framework built on top of these ideas that has helped Jane Street scale our trading infrastructure while making it more performant, testable, and robust. After the talk join us for Pizza and networking with Pedro and a Jane Street recruiter.
