CFP - ACM FAccT (formerly ACM FAT*)
Dear all, <br> <br> <br>Hope you are keeping safe and well. <br> <br> <br>We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2021 ACM conference on <br>*F*airness, *Acc*ountability, and *T*ransparency -- FAccT (formerly known <br>as ACM FAT*) is now open. We welcome scholarship in dialogue with fairness, <br>accountability, and transparency in computational systems, including <br>critical approaches that investigate core assumptions and propose <br>alternative designs, practices, and policies. <br> <br> <br>This year’s conference will take place in the context of a worldwide <br>reckoning with racism and other forms of injustice, in society generally <br>and within the field of computing in particular. Such questions are not <br>only a matter of personal and professional concern, but also a perennial <br>focus of FAccT scholarship. *In this light, we especially welcome attention <br>to insufficiently addressed issues in computing* such as: How do <br>algorithmic systems develop in relation to racism and anti-blackness? How <br>should the field address the problems and opportunities of intersectional <br>perspectives on fairness? What kinds of marginalization are relevant to the <br>concerns of ACM FAccT? How can perspectives and tools from gender/LGBTQ <br>studies, postcolonial studies, indigenous studies, racial and ethnic <br>studies, migration studies, work on disability and other relevant domains <br>inform a broad perspective on how to frame and advance social justice in <br>relation to design of computational systems? <br> <br> <br>Submissions might include (but not limited to) the following areas: <br> <br> - *Algorithm Development* *e.g.* Fairness; Interpretable and explainable <br> models; Data collection and curation <br> - *Data and Algorithm Evaluation* *e.g.* Metrics; Audits; Evaluations <br> - *Applications* *e.g.* NLP; Computer vision; Search engines; <br> Recommender systems; Programming languages; Databases <br> - *Human Factors* *e.g.* Human-computer interaction; Humans-in-the-loop; <br> Information visualization; UX design; Community or participatory-research <br> design <br> - *Privacy and Security* *e.g.* Formal approaches; Privacy-preserving <br> models; Usable privacy and security <br> - *Law and Policy* *e.g.* Organizational governance; Data protection; <br> Non-discrimination; Codes of ethics; Models from historically marginalized <br> perspectives (*e.g.* Global Southern, feminist, communitarian, or <br> Indigenous perspectives) <br> - *Humanistic theory and critique* *e.g.* Interrogating foundational <br> concepts; Bridging critical concepts across fields; Philosophical, moral <br> and ethical analysis <br> - *Social and organizational processes* *e.g.* Algorithms in <br> organizations and institutions; Social, cultural, and historical shaping <br>of <br> algorithmic phenomena; algorithmic impacts on social phenomena <br> - *Community-based approaches* *e.g.* Participatory algorithm design; <br> Community designed and maintained systems; Activism-driven technological <br> change <br> - *Education* *e.g.* Pedagogical approaches, proposals, and experiences <br> in areas of relevance to FAccT <br> <br> <br>We welcome submissions on these topics from a broad set of expertise from a <br>wide variety of disciplines, including computer science, statistics, the <br>humanities, and law.
