摘要

When dealing with sensitive data in automated data-driven decision-making, an important concern is to learn predictors with high performance towards a class label, whilst minimising for the discrimination towards any sensitive attribute, like gender or race, induced from biased data. Hybrid tree optimisation criteria have been proposed which combine classification performance and fairness. Although the threshold-free ROC-AUC is the standard for measuring classification model performance, current fair tree classification methods mainly optimise for a fixed threshold on the fairness metric. In this paper, we propose SCAFF-splitting criterion AUC for Fairness-a compound decision tree splitting criterion which combines the threshold-free strong demographic parity with ROC-AUC termed, easily applicable as an ensemble. Our method simultaneously leverages multiple sensitive attributes of which the values may be multicategorical, and is tunable with respect to the unavoidable performance-fairness trade-off. In our experiments, we demonstrate how SCAFF generates effective models with competitive performance and fairness with respect to binary, multicategorical, and multiple sensitive attributes.
