Summary: In lots of prediction issues, the predictive mannequin impacts the distribution of the prediction goal. This phenomenon is named performativity and is commonly brought on by the habits of people with vested pursuits within the consequence of the predictive mannequin. Though performativity is usually problematic as a result of it manifests as distribution shifts, we develop algorithmic equity practices that leverage performativity to attain stronger group equity ensures in social classification issues (in contrast to what’s achievable in non-performative settings). Particularly, we leverage the policymaker’s means to steer the inhabitants to treatment inequities in the long run. An important good thing about this method is that it’s attainable to resolve the incompatibilities between conflicting group equity definitions.
