Bayesian fairness

2017-05-31 · Christos Dimitrakakis, Yang Liu, David Parkes, Goran Radanovic

We consider the problem of how decision making can be fair when the underlying probabilistic model of the world is not known with certainty. We argue that recent notions of fairness in machine learning need to explicitly incorporate parameter uncertainty, hence we introduce the notion of {\em Bayesian fairness} as a suitable candidate for fair decision rules. Using balance, a definition of fairness introduced by Kleinberg et al (2016), we show how a Bayesian perspective can lead to well-performing, fair decision rules even under high uncertainty.

A Causal Bayesian Networks Viewpoint on Fairness

2019-07-15 · Silvia Chiappa, William S. Isaac

We offer a graphical interpretation of unfairness in a dataset as the presence of an unfair causal path in the causal Bayesian network representing the data-generation mechanism. We use this viewpoint to revisit the rece…

Individual Fairness in Bayesian Neural Networks

2023-04-21 · Alice Doherty, Matthew Wicker, Luca Laurenti, Andrea Patane

We study Individual Fairness (IF) for Bayesian neural networks (BNNs). Specifically, we consider the $\epsilon$-$\delta$-individual fairness notion, which requires that, for any pair of input points that are $\epsilon$-s…

Bayesian Modeling of Intersectional Fairness: The Variance of Bias

2018-11-18 · James Foulds, Rashidul Islam, Kamrun Keya, SHimei Pan

Intersectionality is a framework that analyzes how interlocking systems of power and oppression affect individuals along overlapping dimensions including race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and disability. Intersect…

Can I Trust My Fairness Metric? Assessing Fairness with Unlabeled Data and Bayesian Inference

2020-10-19 · NeurIPS 2020 12 · Disi Ji, Padhraic Smyth, Mark Steyvers

We investigate the problem of reliably assessing group fairness when labeled examples are few but unlabeled examples are plentiful. We propose a general Bayesian framework that can augment labeled data with unlabeled dat…

Fair and Green Hyperparameter Optimization via Multi-objective and Multiple Information Source Bayesian Optimization

2022-05-18 · Antonio Candelieri, Andrea Ponti, Francesco Archetti

There is a consensus that focusing only on accuracy in searching for optimal machine learning models amplifies biases contained in the data, leading to unfair predictions and decision supports. Recently, multi-objective …
