AbstractFairness is one of the highest pursuits of human society. With advanced computer technology, enormous computational power, and data availability, it is natural and inevitable to turn to computer-aided decision-making. There arises a two-fold challenge of fair computation: (i) achieve fairness through computation, i.e., allocating resources (or tasks) fairly, for example, in vaccine distribution and sharing pollution costs, and (ii) fairness in computation arising from machine learning-based deci
