Tuning Derivatives for Causal Fairness in Machine Learning

Researchers introduce a new mathematical framework for detecting and mitigating algorithmic bias in machine learning systems by using path-specific derivatives to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate causal pathways. The approach extends fairness concepts to continuous protected attributes like age, addressing limitations in existing methods that primarily handle categorical variables.

Fairness of Classifiers in the Presence of Constraints between Features

Researchers propose a new fairness framework for machine learning classifiers that defines fairness through fair explanations—prime-implicant reasons for decisions that exclude protected features like gender. The study reveals that feature constraints can obscure discriminatory dependencies and that ignoring these constraints fundamentally changes fairness assessments, establishing computational complexity benchmarks for three distinct fairness definitions.
