The state of the economy and the cost of living are top of mind for most American voters this year. Chief among these issues is the cost of housing. As home prices and rent have soared over the last several years, more Americans than ever are homeless or spending unsustainable amounts on shelter.President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have rolled out a slew of policies and new funding designed to boost the supply of homes and subsidize affordable housing.Pro-housing advocates argue the administration hasn't done nearly enough. But some are encouraged by Harris' selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim…

Sequential Conditional Transport on Probabilistic Graphs for Interpretable Counterfactual Fairness

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
[Submitted on 6 Aug 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Sequential Conditional Transport on Probabilistic Graphs for Interpretable Counterfactual Fairness, by Agathe Fernandes Machado and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In this paper, we link two existing approaches to derive counterfactuals: adaptations based on a causal graph, as suggested in Plečko and Meinshausen (2020) and optimal transport, as in De Lara et al. (2024). We extend "Knothe's rearrangement" Bonnotte (2013) and "triangular transport" Zech and Marzouk (2022a) to probabilistic graphical models, and use this counterfactual approach, referred to as sequential transport, to discuss individual fairness.

On more occasions in the last few weeks than I’d like to admit, I found myself doing jumping jacks in my kitchen an hour before going to bed.That’s not when I’d usually prefer to do any exercise, but on those nights, I looked down at my watch only to see I was so close to hitting my Move Goal, yet still far enough away that shuffling around doing my nightly routines wouldn’t get the job done. And there’s no way I’d finish the day without making the elongated blue cat on my watch face vomit up a bunch of ice…

What is bug surface area?

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
One of the tricky problems while building software is finding the constant balance between releasing new features and dealing with technical debt. One common form of technical debt is bug surface area. Simply put, it's the phenomena where as you develop new features the number of bugs increases at a much faster rate. Why should you care? A larger bug surface area can lead to increased maintenance costs, reduced user satisfaction, and longer development cycles. These problems happen because in any non-trivial project features interact with each other, which creates more opportunities for bugs to creep in. Moreover, if new…
