Designing Fair Ranking Schemes

Summary: System to adjust weights in numeric-weighted rankings to meet fairness criteria (e.g., proportionality). Treats rankings as points in weight-space; efficiently finds fairness-satisfying regions and suggests minimal weight tweaks, enabling interactive, pre-processed exploration on real data.
