SUMMARY:The Fairsquare project: Countering programs that discriminate\
 , Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Aws Albarghouthi\, UW Department o
 f Computer Science
DESCRIPTION:Software has become a powerful arbitrator of a range of si
 gnificant decisions with far-reaching societal impact---hiring\, welfa
 re allocation\, prison sentencing\, policing and\, among many others. 
 With the range and sensitivity of algorithmic decisions expanding by t
 he day\, the problem of understanding the nature of program discrimina
 tion and fairness is a pressing one. In this talk\, I will describe ou
 r work on the FairSquare project\, in which we are developing program 
 verification and synthesis tools aimed at rigorously characterizing an
 d reasoning about fairness of decision-making programs.
