Researchers have introduced FairSelect, a toolkit designed to systematically evaluate algorithmic fairness methods. This framework allows for the assessment of mitigation strategies applied individually or in combination across different stages of the machine learning lifecycle, including preprocessing, inprocessing, and postprocessing. FairSelect supports various model architectures and enables evaluation across intersectional subgroups, comparing fairness and utility trade-offs. Experiments on synthetic clinical data and a real-world stroke risk prediction task revealed that combined fairness interventions can yield greater improvements but interact in complex, context-dependent ways.
