CSCI 5569 Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization

This course aims to highlight work that advances our understanding of the societal embedding of technology and how techniques from algorithms, optimization, and mechanism design, along with insights from the social sciences and humanistic studies, can help improve equity and access to opportunity for underserved communities. The course will be split into 3 main modules, each focusing on Algorithms, Mechanism Design, and Optimization, where we will cover methodological foundations and delve into specific applications and cutting-edge research from the ACM EAAMO Conference. Prerequisites: an undergraduate course in algorithms at the level of CSCI 3383 Algorithms.
