Course details
Data Preprocessing: This unit involves cleaning, transforming, and preparing data for model training, which is crucial for ensuring that the model is fair and unbiased. It includes handling missing values, data normalization, and feature scaling. •
Model Selection: Choosing the right model is essential for achieving model fairness and bias. This unit covers various machine learning algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning methods, and their strengths and weaknesses in handling bias. •
Fairness Metrics: Measuring fairness in models is critical to ensure that they are unbiased. This unit introduces various fairness metrics, such as demographic parity, equalized odds, and calibration, to evaluate model performance. •
Bias Detection: Detecting bias in models is a crucial step in ensuring fairness. This unit covers techniques for identifying bias, including data-driven methods and model-agnostic methods, to identify and mitigate bias. •
Model Interpretability: Understanding how models make predictions is essential for ensuring fairness and transparency. This unit covers techniques for model interpretability, including feature importance, partial dependence plots, and SHAP values. •
Fairness in Deep Learning: Deep learning models can be biased due to their complexity and the data they are trained on. This unit covers techniques for addressing bias in deep learning models, including data augmentation, regularization, and fairness-aware optimization methods. •
Model Fairness Metrics for Discrete Outcomes: When dealing with discrete outcomes, such as binary or categorical labels, different fairness metrics are used. This unit covers fairness metrics for discrete outcomes, including odds ratio, log loss, and entropy. •
Fairness in Recommendation Systems: Recommendation systems can perpetuate bias if not designed carefully. This unit covers techniques for ensuring fairness in recommendation systems, including fairness-aware algorithms and data preprocessing methods. •
Model Fairness and Bias in Real-World Applications: Ensuring fairness and bias in models is critical in real-world applications, such as healthcare, finance, and education. This unit covers case studies and examples of model fairness and bias in real-world applications. •
Fairness in Explanability: Explanability is critical for understanding how models make predictions and ensuring fairness. This unit covers techniques for fairness in explainability, including model-agnostic explanations and fairness-aware feature selection.
