Avoiding bias and understanding the real-world consequences of AI-supported decision-making are critical to address fairness and assign accountability. Existing approaches often focus either on technical aspects, such as datasets and…

We develop a novel bias mitigation framework with distribution-based fairness constraints suitable for producing demographically blind and explainable machine-learning models across a wide range of fairness levels. This is accomplished…

Algorithms learn rules and associations based on the training data that they are exposed to. Yet, the very same data that teaches machines to understand and predict the world, contains societal and historic biases, resulting in biased…

In machine learning, a bias occurs whenever training sets are not representative for the test data, which results in unreliable models. The most common biases in data are arguably class imbalance and covariate shift. In this work, we aim to…

Ensuring fairness of machine learning systems is a human-in-the-loop process. It relies on developers, users, and the general public to identify fairness problems and make improvements. To facilitate the process we need effective, unbiased,…

We study fairness in Machine Learning (FairML) through the lens of attribute-based explanations generated for machine learning models. Our hypothesis is: Biased Models have Biased Explanations. To establish that, we first translate existing…
