The autonomous vehicles can provide real-time information about traffic conditions, congestion, accidents, and other events to the city's infrastructure. This data can help city planners optimize traffic signals, reroute traffic, and make better decisions to reduce congestion and improve overall traffic flow.
This article provides a comprehensive survey on fairness-aware recommender systems. As information filtering services, recommender systems have extremely enriched our daily life by providing personalized suggestions and facilitating people in decision-making, which makes them vital and indispensable to human society in the information era. However, as people become more dependent on them, recent studies show that recommender systems potentially own unintentional impacts on society and individuals because of their unfairness (e.g., gender discrimination in job recommendations).
