Quadratic Metric Elicitation with Application to Fairness
2020
Metric elicitation is a recent framework for eliciting performance metrics that best reflect implicit user preferences. This framework enables a practitioner to adjust the performance metrics based on the application, context, and population at hand. However, available elicitation strategies have been limited to linear (or fractional-linear) functions of predictive rates. In this paper, we develop an approach to elicit from a wider range of complex multiclass metrics defined by quadratic functions of rates by exploiting their local linear structure. We apply this strategy to elicit quadratic metrics for group-based fairness, and also discuss how it can be generalized to higher-order polynomials. Our elicitation strategies require only relative preference feedback and are robust to both feedback and finite sample noise.
