  Abstract: Learn-to-Defer is a paradigm that enables learning algorithms to work not in
  isolation but as a team with human experts. In this paradigm, we permit the
  system to defer a subset of its tasks to the expert. Although there are
  currently systems that follow this paradigm and are designed to optimize the
  accuracy of the final human-AI team, the general methodology for developing such
  systems under a set of constraints (e.g., algorithmic fairness, expert
  intervention budget, defer of anomaly, etc.) remains largely unexplored. In this
  paper, using a d-dimensional generalization to the fundamental lemma of Neyman
  and Pearson (d-GNP), we obtain the Bayes optimal solution for learn-to-defer
  systems under various constraints. Furthermore, we design a generalizable
  algorithm to estimate that solution and apply this algorithm to the COMPAS and
  ACSIncome datasets. Our algorithm shows improvements in terms of constraint
  violation over a set of baselines.
