Palaiseau, France Inria Temps plein

Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais_

**Type de contrat**: CDD

**Niveau de diplôme exigé**: Bac + 5 ou équivalent

**Fonction**: Doctorant

**A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle**:
The Inria Saclay-Île-de-France Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of the Saclay site in partnership with **Paris-Saclay University** and with the **Institut Polytechnique de Paris**.

The centre has 40** project teams**, 27 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Its activities occupy over 600 people, scientists and research and innovation support staff, including 44 different nationalities.

**Contexte et atouts du poste**:
The recruited engineer will work in the FairPlay team. FairPlay is a joint team between Inria, ENSAE and Criteo with around 8 permanent researchers and 15 PhD students/postdocs from all three partners institution. The team is bi-localized, hosting at CREST (on the Polytechnique campus) but working from Criteo HQ in Paris once a week.

**Mission confiée**:
Learning-augmented online algorithms use machine-learning-based predictions to help
make decisions in online algorithms where the decisions such as selection or matching must be
made sequentially. They appear in several real-world scenarios, such as job assignments and online
advertising. They have received attention in recent years from the perspective of pure performance.
In this PhD, we propose to explore fairness questions that arise from these problems in cases where
decisions are made about individuals and should be made free of discrimination. We study in
particular how unfairness in predictions can affect the final outcome in algorithms with prediction,
with the final objective of deriving algorithms with fairness guarantees. Key challenges include
fairness constraints in prophet inequalities, where selection must balance quality and group fairness,
the impact of biased predictions on online selection and bipartite matching and the the development
of fair decision-making algorithms. Further work will explore correcting the bias of the prediction
at decision time instead of correcting the prediction. The objective of this work is to contribute to
the design of more equitable online algorithms with predictions.

**Principales activités**:
Main activities: conduct research on fairness in online algorithms

Additional activities: document the results through publications and talks

**Compétences**:
Technical skills and level required : A strong background in mathematics, in particular in probability and online learning.
