Hadis Anahideh; Nazanin Nezami; Abolfazl Asudeh – Grantee Submission, 2025
It is of critical importance to be aware of the historical discrimination embedded in the data and to consider a fairness measure to reduce bias throughout the predictive modeling pipeline. Given various notions of fairness defined in the literature, investigating the correlation and interaction among metrics is vital for addressing unfairness.…
