Workshop objectives & call for papers


Fairness, ethics, and explainability are critical topics for the long-term health of online platforms and in turn, modern society. This workshop aims to bring together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners working on socially responsible social media and recommendation systems. We are broadly interested in both methodological and empirical research, in particular on works that study the varied ethical dilemmas, open algorithmic & practical challenges associated with implementing real-world systems.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to


- Ethical considerations on social platforms

- Equity in AI-based systems—identification, definition, mitigation

- Explainability, transparency, and trust in recommendation systems


Example topics include scalable approaches to ethical content moderation, operationalizing different fairness considerations, robustness, and explainability in recommendation systems. By bringing together researchers and practitioners across industry and academia, our goal is to start an application-centered discussion on developing ethical and responsible online social platforms.
