Fairway: A Way to Build Fair ML Software

Understand

Machine learning software is increasingly being used to make decisions that affect people's lives.

• But sometimes, the core part of this software (the learned model), behaves in a biased manner that gives undue advantages to a specific group of people (where those groups are determined by sex, race, etc.).
• This "algorithmic discrimination" in the AI software systems has become a matter of serious concern in the machine learning and software engineering community.
• There have been works done to find "algorithmic bias" or "ethical bias" in the software system.
