Overview

Fairlearn is an open-source Python package that empowers developers and data scientists to assess and improve the fairness of their machine learning models. It focuses on group fairness, which addresses which groups of individuals are at risk of being harmed by a model's predictions. Fairlearn provides tools to evaluate fairness and algorithms to mitigate unfairness, integrating with popular machine learning libraries.

✨ Key Features

  • Fairness assessment dashboard for interactive visualization
  • Unfairness mitigation algorithms (e.g., Exponentiated Gradient, Grid Search)
  • Metrics for both classification and regression models
  • Focus on sociotechnical aspects of fairness
  • Integration with scikit-learn

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Interactive visualization dashboard for fairness assessment
  • Strong focus on the sociotechnical aspects of fairness
  • Seamless integration with the scikit-learn ecosystem

Unique Value: Provides an intuitive and interactive approach to assessing and mitigating group fairness issues in machine learning models.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Assessing fairness in AI-powered decision-making systems Mitigating bias in models for areas like lending and hiring Comparing the fairness and performance of multiple models Educating stakeholders on fairness issues in AI

✅ Best For

  • Fairness assessment in credit-card default models
  • Evaluating and mitigating gender bias in hiring models

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Users requiring a purely no-code interface
  • Applications that require individual fairness metrics beyond group fairness
