论文摘要
人们越来越受到算法决定的约束,人们普遍认为,应为这些决定提供最终用户的解释或理由。解释可以具有不同的目的,例如增加对系统的用户信任或允许用户对该决定进行质疑。获得更多吸引力的特定目的是算法追索。我们首先建议将追索权视为建议问题,而不是解释问题。然后,我们认为能力方法为追索权提供了合理和富有成果的道德标准。我们通过考虑算法追索性多样性约束的情况来说明。最后,我们讨论采用能力方法进行算法求助研究的重要性和含义。
People are increasingly subject to algorithmic decisions, and it is generally agreed that end-users should be provided an explanation or rationale for these decisions. There are different purposes that explanations can have, such as increasing user trust in the system or allowing users to contest the decision. One specific purpose that is gaining more traction is algorithmic recourse. We first propose that recourse should be viewed as a recommendation problem, not an explanation problem. Then, we argue that the capability approach provides plausible and fruitful ethical standards for recourse. We illustrate by considering the case of diversity constraints on algorithmic recourse. Finally, we discuss the significance and implications of adopting the capability approach for algorithmic recourse research.
