	abstract = {We study fairness in classification, where individuals are classified,
e.g., admitted to a university, and the goal is to prevent discrimination
against individuals based on their membership in some group, while
maintaining utility for the classifier (the university). The main
conceptual contribution of this paper is a framework for fair
classification comprising (1) a (hypothetical) task-specific metric for
determining the degree to which individuals are similar with respect to
the classification task at hand; (2) an algorithm for maximizing utility
subject to the fairness constraint, that similar individuals are treated
similarly. We also present an adaptation of our approach to achieve the
complementary goal of "fair affirmative action," which guarantees
statistical parity (i.e., the demographics of the set of individuals
receiving any classification are the same as the demographics of the
underlying population), while treating similar individuals as similarly as
possible. Finally, we discuss the relationship of fairness to privacy:
when fairness implies privacy, and how tools developed in the context of
differential privacy may be applied to fairness.},
