The Fragility of Fairness: Causal Sensitivity Analysis for Fair Machine Learning

1 code implementation12 Oct 2024 Jake Fawkes, Nic Fishman, Mel Andrews, Zachary C. Lipton

We adapt tools from causal sensitivity analysis to the FairML context, providing a general framework which (1) accommodates effectively any combination of fairness metric and bias that can be posed in the "oblivious setting"; (2) allows researchers to investigate combinations of biases, resulting in non-linear sensitivity; and (3) enables flexible encoding of domain-specific constraints and assumptions.

Returning The Favour: When Regression Benefits From Probabilistic Causal Knowledge

1 code implementation26 Jan 2023 Shahine Bouabid, Jake Fawkes, Dino Sejdinovic

Doubly Robust Kernel Statistics for Testing Distributional Treatment Effects

1 code implementation9 Dec 2022 Jake Fawkes, Robert Hu, Robin J. Evans, Dino Sejdinovic

These improved estimators are inspired by doubly robust estimators of the causal mean, using a similar form within the kernel space.

Selection, Ignorability and Challenges With Causal Fairness

no code implementations28 Feb 2022 Jake Fawkes, Robin Evans, Dino Sejdinovic

In order to achieve this, we must have causal models that are able to capture what someone would be like if we were to counterfactually change these traits.
