Machine Learning for Pattern Discovery in Management Research
Supervised machine learning (ML) methods are a powerful toolkit for discovering robust patterns in quantitative data. The patterns identified by ML could be used as an observation for further inductive or abductive research, but should not be treated as the result of a... View Details

Preventing Fairness Gerrymandering: Auditing and Learning for Subgroup Fairness
We introduce a new family of fairness definitions that interpolate between statistical and individual notions of fairness, obtaining some of the best properties of each. We show that checking whether these notions are satisfied is computationally hard in the worst... View Details

Interpretable Matrix Completion: A Discrete Optimization Approach
By: Dimitris Bertsimas and Michael Lingzhi Li
We consider the problem of matrix completion on an n × m matrix. We introduce the problem of interpretable matrix completion that aims to provide meaningful insights for the low-rank matrix using side information. We show that the problem can be... View Details

Warnings and Endorsements: Improving Human-AI Collaboration Under Covariate Shift
By: Matthew DosSantos DiSorbo and Kris Ferreira
Problem definition: While artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms may perform well on data that are representative of the training set (inliers), they may err when extrapolating on non-representative data (outliers). These outliers often originate from covariate shift,... View Details

Making Workplaces Safer Through Machine Learning
Government agencies can use machine learning to improve the effectiveness of regulatory inspections. Our study found that OSHA could prevent as much as twice as many injuries—translating to up to 16,000 fewer workers injured and nearly $800 million in social... View Details
