Mauritz Cartier van Dissel presents framework for enforcing fairness in rankings at FAccT 2025

We’re excited to share that Mauritz Cartier van Dissel presented our latest work at ACM FAccT 2025 in Athens! 🎉

In collaboration with S. Martin-Gutierrez, L. Espín-Noboa, A. M. Jaramillo, and F. Karimi, we introduce a novel probabilistic definition of fairness for top-k selection in rankings, grounded in sampling without replacement. We demonstrate that by incorporating quotas, our method ensures the desired proportion of protected candidates among the top-k. As the sample size increases, it converges to demographic parity, effectively preventing discrimination at the bottom of the ranking.
