Accountability Framework for Healthcare AI Systems: Towards Joint Accountability in Decisi…
AI is transforming the healthcare domain and is increasingly helping practitioners to make health-related decisions. Therefore, accountability becomes a crucial concern for critical AI-driven decisions. Although regulatory bodies, such as the EU comm...
Evolution of Society Caused by Collective and Individual Decisions
Decision-making societies may vary in their level of cooperation and degree of conservatism, both of which influence their overall performance. Moreover, these factors are not fixed -- they can change based on the decisions agents in the society make...
Acceptance Rates in Physical Review Letters: No Seasonal Bias
Are editorial decisions biased? A recent discussion in Learned Publishing has focused on one aspect of potential bias in editorial decisions, namely seasonal (e.g., monthly) variations in acceptance rates of research journals. In this letter, we cont...
Uncovering Relations for Marketing Knowledge Representation
Online behaviors of consumers and marketers generate massive marketing data, which ever more sophisticated models attempt to turn into insights and aid decisions by marketers. Yet, in making decisions human managers bring to bear marketing knowledge...
No-Knowledge Alarms for Misaligned LLMs-as-Judges
If we use LLMs as judges to evaluate the complex decisions of other LLMs, who or what monitors the judges? Infinite monitoring chains are inevitable whenever we do not know the ground truth of the decisions by experts and we do not want to trust them...
Group reciprocity and the evolution of stereotyping
Stereotypes are generalized beliefs about groups of people, which are used to make decisions and judgments about them. Although such heuristics can be useful when decisions must be made quickly, or when information is lacking, they can also serve as...
Moral decisions in the age of COVID-19: your choices really matter
The moral decisions we make during this period, such as deciding whether to comply with quarantine rules, have unprecedented societal effects. We simulate the "escape from Milan" that occurred on March 7th-8th 2020, when many travelers moved from a h...
Informing policy via dynamic models: Cholera in Haiti
Public health decisions must be made about when and how to implement interventions to control an infectious disease epidemic. These decisions should be informed by data on the epidemic as well as current understanding about the transmission dynamics....
Designing for Contestation: Insights from Administrative Law
A paper presented at the Workshop on Contestability in Algorithmic Systems at CSCW 2019. Challenging algorithmic decisions is important to decision subjects, yet numerous factors can limit a person's ability to contest such decisions. We propose that...
Large Language Models Assume People are More Rational than We Really are
In order for AI systems to communicate effectively with people, they must understand how we make decisions. However, people's decisions are not always rational, so the implicit internal models of human decision-making in Large Language Models (LLMs)...
Purdue decisions
I’m a international student that applied for Purdue CS and I see that a lot of people in the same situation as me have already received decisions from Purdue yesterday. Does this mean I’m most lik...
Dynamic Decision Frequency with Continuous Options
In classic reinforcement learning algorithms, agents make decisions at discrete and fixed time intervals. The duration between decisions becomes a crucial hyperparameter, as setting it too short may increase the problem's difficulty by requiring the...

Conceptualising Contestability: Perspectives on Contesting Algorithmic Decisions
As the use of algorithmic systems in high-stakes decision-making increases, the ability to contest algorithmic decisions is being recognised as an important safeguard for individuals. Yet, there is little guidance on what `contestability'--the abilit...
The MEVIR 2 Framework: A Virtue-Informed Moral-Epistemic Model of Human Trust Decisions
The MEVIR 2 framework innovates and improves how we understand trust decisions in our polarized information landscape. Unlike classical models assuming ideal rationality, MEVIR 2 recognizes that human trust emerges from three interacting foundations:...

Explainable Time Series Prediction of Tyre Energy in Formula One Race Strategy
Formula One (F1) race strategy takes place in a high-pressure and fast-paced environment where split-second decisions can drastically affect race results. Two of the core decisions of race strategy are when to make pit stops (i.e. replace the cars' t...
Integrators at War: Mediating in AI-assisted Resort-to-Force Decisions
The integration of AI systems into the military domain is changing the way war-related decisions are made. It binds together three disparate groups of actors - developers, integrators, users - and creates a relationship between these groups and the m...
