Course details
Fairness Metrics: This unit covers the various metrics used to evaluate fairness in machine learning models, including demographic parity, equalized odds, and calibration. It also introduces concepts such as bias detection and mitigation. •
Data Preprocessing for Fairness: This unit focuses on the importance of data preprocessing in ensuring fairness in machine learning models. It covers techniques such as data cleaning, feature engineering, and handling missing values to prevent bias. •
Fairness in Model Selection: This unit explores the role of model selection in ensuring fairness in machine learning. It discusses the importance of choosing models that are fair and unbiased, and introduces techniques such as model interpretability and explainability. •
Fairness in Deep Learning: This unit delves into the challenges of fairness in deep learning models. It covers techniques such as fairness-aware neural networks and adversarial training to promote fairness and reduce bias. •
Bias Detection and Mitigation Techniques: This unit introduces various bias detection and mitigation techniques, including fairness metrics, data preprocessing, and model selection. It also covers advanced techniques such as fairness-aware optimization and debiasing word embeddings. •
Fairness in Explainable AI (XAI): This unit explores the relationship between fairness and explainability in machine learning. It discusses the importance of model interpretability and introduces techniques such as SHAP values and LIME to promote fairness and transparency. •
Fairness in High-Stakes Decision Making: This unit examines the importance of fairness in high-stakes decision making, such as in healthcare, finance, and law enforcement. It discusses the challenges of fairness in these domains and introduces techniques such as fairness-aware decision making and debiasing algorithms. •
Fairness and Bias in Data Science: This unit covers the broader context of fairness and bias in data science, including the importance of fairness in data collection, storage, and analysis. It introduces concepts such as data curation and data governance to promote fairness and reduce bias. •
Fairness Metrics for Discrete Data: This unit focuses on fairness metrics for discrete data, including concepts such as entropy and mutual information. It introduces techniques such as fairness-aware clustering and classification to promote fairness and reduce bias. •
Fairness in Edge AI: This unit explores the challenges of fairness in edge AI, including the importance of fairness in real-time decision making and edge computing. It introduces techniques such as fairness-aware edge AI and debiasing edge models to promote fairness and reduce bias.
