FairBED framework aims to gather fairer data for machine learning

Researchers have introduced FairBED, a novel framework designed to improve fairness in machine learning by modifying the data acquisition process. Instead of solely focusing on learning fair models from existing biased data, FairBED aims to gather inherently fairer datasets. The approach quantifies dataset fairness by assessing how uninformative a dataset is about sensitive attributes. This method constructs Bayesian experimental design objectives that balance information gain about the target variable with minimized information gain about sensitive attributes, leading to better fairness-accuracy trade-offs in trained models.

    FairBED: A Bayesian Experimental Design Approach to Gathering Fairer Data

    Frameworks for ensuring fairness in machine learning typically focus on learning fair models from existing data. But this endeavor is often undermined by biases already present in that data. We therefore look to modify the data acquisition process itself to help gather fairer dat…
