论文摘要
近年来，社会技术系统的公平性，问责制和透明度（FACCT）一直是研究的繁荣领域。带有同名的ACM会议是该领域学者们聚集在一起，互相提供同伴反馈并发布其作品的中心场所。这项反思性研究旨在阐明FACCT迄今为止的活动，并确定将贡献转化为更广泛积极影响的主要差距和机会。为此，我们利用了混合方法研究设计。在定性方面，我们开发了一项协议，用于审查和编码先前的FACCT论文，追踪其主题，方法，数据集和纪律根的分布。我们还设计和管理问卷调查，以反映FACCT社区成员和分支机构的声音。在定量方面，我们使用与先前FACCT出版物相关的全文和引文网络，以提供有关FACCT中代表的主题和价值的进一步证据。我们将分析的发现分为四个主要维度：FACCT奖学金中的主题，支撑工作的价值观，学术界和其他地区的贡献的影响以及围绕FACCT构成的社区的实践和非正式规范。最后，我们的工作确定了有关变革方向的一些建议，正如社区成员所表达的那样。
Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT) for socio-technical systems has been a thriving area of research in recent years. An ACM conference bearing the same name has been the central venue for scholars in this area to come together, provide peer feedback to one another, and publish their work. This reflexive study aims to shed light on FAccT's activities to date and identify major gaps and opportunities for translating contributions into broader positive impact. To this end, we utilize a mixed-methods research design. On the qualitative front, we develop a protocol for reviewing and coding prior FAccT papers, tracing their distribution of topics, methods, datasets, and disciplinary roots. We also design and administer a questionnaire to reflect the voices of FAccT community members and affiliates on a wide range of topics. On the quantitative front, we use the full text and citation network associated with prior FAccT publications to provide further evidence about topics and values represented in FAccT. We organize the findings from our analysis into four main dimensions: the themes present in FAccT scholarship, the values that underpin the work, the impact of the contributions both within academic circles and beyond, and the practices and informal norms of the community that has formed around FAccT. Finally, our work identifies several suggestions on directions for change, as voiced by community members.
