Title: From algorithmic fairness to hyperbolic meta-materials, a personal journey
Abstract:
We consider the results of an application of the Hebert-Johnson et al calibration algorithm in a medical setting. This will lead us to consider the problem of ranking given two values for each sample. This will lead us to consider processes such as the evolution of a universe, airplane boarding, scheduling in disk drives and finally, hyperbolic metamaterials and super lenses. We will exemplify on a real data example of SAT and GPA scores of college admission candidates.
