Course details
Fairness Metrics: This unit introduces students to various fairness metrics used to evaluate model performance, including demographic parity, equalized odds, and calibration. It covers the theoretical foundations and practical applications of these metrics, providing a solid understanding of model fairness. •
Bias Detection and Analysis: This unit focuses on the detection and analysis of bias in machine learning models. Students learn to identify and quantify bias, using techniques such as fairness metrics, data preprocessing, and model interpretability. This unit is essential for understanding how to mitigate bias in models. •
Model Fairness Techniques: This unit covers various techniques for achieving model fairness, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model regularization. Students learn to apply these techniques to real-world datasets and evaluate their effectiveness in promoting fairness. •
Fairness in Deep Learning: This unit explores the challenges and opportunities of fairness in deep learning models. Students learn to address issues such as bias in neural networks, fairness in reinforcement learning, and fairness in transfer learning. This unit is crucial for understanding how to achieve fairness in complex models. •
Model Explainability and Transparency: This unit focuses on the importance of model explainability and transparency in ensuring fairness. Students learn to use techniques such as feature importance, partial dependence plots, and SHAP values to understand how models make predictions and identify potential biases. •
Fairness in Recommendation Systems: This unit applies fairness techniques to recommendation systems, which are prone to bias and discrimination. Students learn to design and evaluate fair recommendation systems that promote diversity and reduce bias. •
Demographic Fairness: This unit explores the concept of demographic fairness, which involves ensuring that models treat different demographic groups fairly. Students learn to apply fairness metrics and techniques to demographic groups, such as race, gender, and age. •
Fairness in Healthcare: This unit applies fairness techniques to healthcare data and models, which are critical for making informed decisions about patient care. Students learn to address issues such as bias in medical imaging, bias in clinical decision support systems, and bias in patient outcomes. •
Fairness in Autonomous Systems: This unit explores the challenges and opportunities of fairness in autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and drones. Students learn to address issues such as bias in sensor data, bias in decision-making algorithms, and bias in human-robot interaction. •
Fairness and Ethics in AI: This unit provides an overview of the ethical and social implications of fairness in AI. Students learn to consider the broader social context of fairness in AI, including issues such as privacy, transparency, and accountability.
