RMIT at TREC 2021 Fair Ranking Track

Abstract

This report describes the data, the assumptions, methodology, and our results involved in the participation at the TREC 2021 Fair Ranking Track. While most of the fairness-aware re-ranking techniques require explicitly defining protected attributes, we tried to leverage the implicit features of the Wikimedia articles by using an implicit diversification technique to study the impact of diversification on a fair ranking problem.
